Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On March 23, 2012, Solo Cup Company released certain financial information as of and for the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 25, 2011 and December 26, 2010. Such financial information is furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report.
The financial information furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report includes EBITDA, or net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative measure of liquidity. EBITDA should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, analysis of Solo Cup Company's results reported in accordance with GAAP. Solo Cup Company presents EBITDA to provide additional information regarding its current financial and operating performance because the measure excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the company's core operating results. Management believes that EBITDA provides useful information to the company and its investors, and is frequently utilized by security analysts, lenders and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the same industry. In addition, because Solo Cup Company historically has provided EBITDA-based measures to investors and other interested parties, in some instances as required by its financing arrangements, management believes that the quarterly presentation of EBITDA provides consistency in the company's financial reporting and is a useful supplemental measure in comparing the company's operating performance from period to period.
