Item 2.02.

Results of Operations and Financial Conditions

On February 5, 2008, Nalco Holding Company (the “Company”), parent of Nalco Finance Holdings LLC, announced its fourth quarter and year-end 2007 sales and earnings results. A copy of that release is being furnished to the SEC as an exhibit to this form.

This earnings press release includes several non-GAAP measures. Management believes that discussion of these measures provides investors with additional insight into the ongoing operations of Nalco Holding Company. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the closest GAAP measure in attachments to this press release, which may also be found at www.nalco.com. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used to determine compliance with the Company’s debt covenants. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings is included in Attachment 5. Free Cash Flow is reconciled on Attachment 6 to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities as shown on Nalco’s Cash Flow Statement, and is defined as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities less Capital Expenditures and Minority Interest charges. Adjustments to net earnings are identified in Attachment 7A and 7B. The adjustments represent those items included in Nalco’s income statement that are either one-time in nature, support incremental cost reduction programs, or – in the case of the profit-sharing reimbursements by our former owner, Suez – are unusual when compared to other companies. In addition, Nalco discusses sales growth in terms of nominal (actual) and organic (nominal less foreign currency and acquisition/divestiture/merger/joint venture impacts). The non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, these measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided by other companies.
