Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
The company defines EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income tax, and depreciation, amortization and accretion. The company defines EBIT as net income before interest expense and provision for income tax.
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 EBIT and EBITDA to net income for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended
