ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

On August 15, 2006, VWR International, Inc. (the “Company”) will conduct an investor conference call to discuss its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and the outlook for 2006. Management’s presentation will contain certain non-GAAP financial measures. The following table sets forth the calculation of Credit Agreement EBITDA for each of the periods presented. Credit Agreement EBITDA as presented herein is a financial performance measure that is used in the credit agreement for the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. Credit Agreement EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Accordingly, the table presented below reconciles Credit Agreement EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure presented in the Company’s financial statements as filed in its periodic reports. This table also includes a projection of Credit Agreement EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2006.

Credit Agreement EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure of performance or liquidity. As specified in the table and accompanying notes, Credit Agreement EBITDA eliminates the effect of charges primarily associated with financing decisions, tax regulations, capital investments; and certain non-cash and extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items. Accordingly, Credit Agreement EBITDA is a key financial metric used by the Company’s investors to evaluate and measure the Company’s operating performance and adherence to certain covenant ratio tests.
