Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”), the company presents Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share.
These measures are not in accordance with, and are not intended as
alternatives to, GAAP. The company's management believes that this
presentation provides useful information to management, analysts
and investors regarding certain additional financial and business
trends relating to its results of operations and financial
condition. In addition, management uses these measures for
reviewing the financial results of the company, and certain of
these measures may be used as components of incentive
compensation.
The company defines EBITDA as net income before interest
expense, provision for income tax, and depreciation, amortization
and accretion. Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
EBIT and Adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the impact of
certain specified special items. The Company has begun reporting
these adjusted measures to provide additional information with
respect to the impact of store closure costs and certain other
items during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023.
There were no such material adjustments during the thirteen and
twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2022.
Non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information
only and do not have any standard meanings prescribed by GAAP. Use
of these terms may differ from similar measures reported by other
companies. Because of their limitations, non-GAAP measures should
not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to
use to reinvest in the growth of the company’s business, or as a
measure of cash that will be available to meet the company’s
obligations. Each non-GAAP measure has its limitations as an
analytical tool, and they should not be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for analysis of the company’s results as reported
under GAAP.
The following table shows a reconciliation of (i) Adjusted gross
margin to gross margin, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT to
net income and (iii) Adjusted diluted earnings per share to diluted
earnings per share, in each case, for the thirteen and twenty-six
weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022:
