INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 2.02. Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

        On July 6, 2005, CIBER, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release in which we updated our guidance for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and the 2005 fiscal year. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

        In the attached press release, the Company discloses cash earnings per share and free cash flow. Cash earnings per share is defined as net income, plus tax-affected amortization of intangible assets and tax-affected interest and amortization expense associated with our contingent convertible debentures, divided by diluted weighted average shares. Free cash flow is defined as net income, plus depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, less capital expenditures. Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the Company's business may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and prior reported results.
