Sales and other revenue
Cash flow yield
*Excludes cash flow from payables related to third-party gift cards, net of receivables.  Cash from the sale of third-party gift cards is held for a short 
period of time and then remitted, less Safeway's commission, to card partner.  Because this cash flow is temporary, it is not available for other uses and
therefore is excluded from the company’s calculation of free cash flow. No forecast was made for this item.
