Financial Condition.&#148; The information furnished in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">On April&nbsp;30, 2009, Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (&#147;Mettler-Toledo&#148;) issued a press release
(the &#147;Release&#148;) setting forth its financial results for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2009. A
copy of the Release is furnished hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1 to this report.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Non-GAAP Financial Measures</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Mettler-Toledo supplements its U.S. GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures. The
principal non-GAAP financial measures Mettler-Toledo uses are Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted
Operating Income and Free Cash Flow.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Adjusted Earnings per Share</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Earnings per Share as diluted earnings per common share
excluding certain one-time discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangible assets, net of
tax and restructuring charges, net of tax. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial
measure is diluted earnings per common share.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Earnings per Share is important supplemental information
for investors. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it excludes certain one-time discrete tax
items, amortization of purchased intangibles, net of tax and restructuring charges, net of tax,
which management believes is not directly related to current and ongoing operations thereby
providing investors with information that helps to compare ongoing operating performance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Adjusted Earnings per Share is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented
in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Earnings per Share is not intended to represent diluted
earnings per common share under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted
earnings per common share as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo&#146;s performance because of the following
limitations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Limitations of Mettler-Toledo&#146;s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Mettler-Toledo&#146;s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share, has certain material
limitations as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">It does not include certain one-time discrete tax items, amortization expense of purchased
intangibles, net of tax and restructuring charges, net of tax. Because one-time discrete tax
items, amortization of purchased intangibles and restructuring charges are components of diluted
earnings per share under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes one-time discrete tax items,
amortization of purchased intangibles and restructuring charges, has material limitations.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Operating Income as gross profit less research and development
and selling, general and administrative expenses before amortization, interest, other charges
(income), net and taxes. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is earnings
before taxes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Operating Income is important supplemental information
for investors. Adjusted Operating Income is used internally as the principal profit measurement by
its segments in their reporting to management. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it
excludes amortization, interest, other charges (income), net and taxes, which are not allocated to
the segments.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">On a consolidated basis, Mettler-Toledo also believes Adjusted Operating Income is an
important supplemental method of measuring profitability. It is used internally by senior
management for measuring profitability and setting performance targets for managers, and has
historically been used as one of the means of publicly providing guidance on possible future
results. Mettler-Toledo also believes that Adjusted Operating Income is an important performance
measure because it provides a measure of comparability to other companies with different capital or
legal structures, which accordingly may be subject to disparate interest rates and effective tax
rates, and to companies which may incur different amortization expenses or impairment charges
related to intangible assets.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Adjusted Operating Income is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Operating Income is not intended to represent operating income
under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings before taxes as an
indicator of Mettler-Toledo&#146;s performance because of the following limitations.

capital expenditures, before restructuring payments, excess tax benefits from share-based payment
arrangements and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. The
most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net cash provided by operating
activities.

comparability and means of viewing aspects of Mettler-Toledo&#146;s operations that, when viewed
together with its U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to net earnings, net cash
provided by operating activities and diluted earnings per share, provide a more complete
understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Because Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income and Free Cash Flow are not

measure.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, "Results of Operations and
Financial Condition." The information furnished in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto
shall not be treated as filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be

On April 30, 2009, Mettler-Toledo International Inc. ("Mettler-Toledo") issued a press release
(the "Release") setting forth its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2009. A
copy of the Release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Mettler-Toledo supplements its U.S. GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures. The
principal non-GAAP financial measures Mettler-Toledo uses are Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted
Operating Income and Free Cash Flow.
Adjusted Earnings per Share
Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Earnings per Share as diluted earnings per common share
excluding certain one-time discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangible assets, net of
tax and restructuring charges, net of tax. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial
measure is diluted earnings per common share.
Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Earnings per Share is important supplemental information
for investors. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it excludes certain one-time discrete tax
items, amortization of purchased intangibles, net of tax and restructuring charges, net of tax,
which management believes is not directly related to current and ongoing operations thereby
providing investors with information that helps to compare ongoing operating performance.
Adjusted Earnings per Share is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented
in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Earnings per Share is not intended to represent diluted
earnings per common share under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted
earnings per common share as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo's performance because of the following
limitations.
Limitations of Mettler-Toledo's non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share
Mettler-Toledo's non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share, has certain material
limitations as follows:
It does not include certain one-time discrete tax items, amortization expense of purchased
intangibles, net of tax and restructuring charges, net of tax. Because one-time discrete tax
items, amortization of purchased intangibles and restructuring charges are components of diluted
earnings per share under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes one-time discrete tax items,
amortization of purchased intangibles and restructuring charges, has material limitations.
2
Adjusted Operating Income
Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Operating Income as gross profit less research and development
and selling, general and administrative expenses before amortization, interest, other charges
(income), net and taxes. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is earnings
before taxes.
Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Operating Income is important supplemental information
for investors. Adjusted Operating Income is used internally as the principal profit measurement by
its segments in their reporting to management. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it
excludes amortization, interest, other charges (income), net and taxes, which are not allocated to
the segments.
On a consolidated basis, Mettler-Toledo also believes Adjusted Operating Income is an
important supplemental method of measuring profitability. It is used internally by senior
management for measuring profitability and setting performance targets for managers, and has
historically been used as one of the means of publicly providing guidance on possible future
results. Mettler-Toledo also believes that Adjusted Operating Income is an important performance
measure because it provides a measure of comparability to other companies with different capital or
legal structures, which accordingly may be subject to disparate interest rates and effective tax
rates, and to companies which may incur different amortization expenses or impairment charges
related to intangible assets.
Adjusted Operating Income is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Operating Income is not intended to represent operating income
under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings before taxes as an
indicator of Mettler-Toledo's performance because of the following limitations.
Limitations of Mettler-Toledo's non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Operating Income
Mettler-Toledo's non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Operating Income, has certain material limitations
as follows:
•
It does not include interest expense. Because Mettler-Toledo has borrowed money to
finance some of its operations, interest is a necessary and ongoing part of its costs
and has assisted Mettler-Toledo in generating revenue. Therefore any measure that
excludes interest expense has material limitations.
•
It excludes amortization expense. Because this item is recurring, any measure that
excludes amortization expense has material limitations.
•
It excludes other charges (income), net. Because other charges (income), net is a
component of operating income under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes other charges
(income), net, has material limitations.
Free Cash Flow
Mettler-Toledo defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less
capital expenditures, before restructuring payments, excess tax benefits from share-based payment
arrangements and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. The
most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net cash provided by operating
activities.
3
Mettler-Toledo believes Free Cash Flow is important supplemental information for investors.
It is used internally by senior management for measuring operating cash flow generation and setting
performance targets for managers, and has historically been used as one of the means of providing
guidance on possible future cash flows.
Free Cash Flow is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent net cash provided by operating
activities recorded under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash
provided by operating activities as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo's performance because of the
following limitations.
Limitations of Mettler-Toledo's non-GAAP measure, Free Cash Flow
Mettler-Toledo's non-GAAP measure, Free Cash Flow, has certain material limitations as
follows:
•
It includes purchases of property, plant and equipment, which is not considered to
be a component of net cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP. Therefore
any measure that includes purchases of property, plant and equipment has material
limitations.
•
It excludes restructuring payments, excess tax benefits from share-based payment
arrangements and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, which are
considered to be components of net cash provided by operating activities under U.S.
GAAP. Therefore any measure that excludes these items has material limitations.
Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income and Free Cash Flow should not be relied
upon to the exclusion of U.S. GAAP financial measures, but reflect additional measures of
comparability and means of viewing aspects of Mettler-Toledo's operations that, when viewed
together with its U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to net earnings, net cash
provided by operating activities and diluted earnings per share, provide a more complete
understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
Because Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income and Free Cash Flow are not
standardized, it may not be possible to compare with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures
having the same or similar names. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial
statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial
measure.
The Release provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating
Income and Free Cash Flow to the most comparable financial measures recorded under U.S. GAAP.
