“The first quarter of 2011 was extremely strong with improved metrics on all fronts. This is the first time since 2006 that Dover Saddlery has achieved a profit in the first quarter and, naturally, we are very pleased to report this outstanding success. Our customers are showing an increased interest in purchasing high-ticket items and store traffic into all our stores was very strong,” commented Stephen L. Day, president and CEO of Dover Saddlery. “In June, we will be opening our next store in Parker, Colorado, and we look forward to serving the very active Colorado equestrian community with our new and well merchandised Dover retail store.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Information
From time to time, in addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company provides financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance and ongoing operations. The Company believes that these non-GAAP operating measures supplement our GAAP financial information and provide useful information to investors for evaluating the Company’s operating results and trends that may be affecting the Company’s business, as they allow investors to more readily compare our operations to prior financial results and our future performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
When we use the term “Adjusted EBITDA”, we are referring to net income minus interest income, investment income and other income plus interest expense, income taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization and other investment loss. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
