EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The following tables calculate the Company’s EBITDA (earnings from operations before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are considered Non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a Non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement governing the Company’s $1 Billion Senior Secured Term Loan Facility (Term Loan Facility), starts with consolidated net income (loss) for the period and adds back (i) depreciation, amortization, impairments and other non-cash charges that were deducted in arriving at consolidated net income (loss), (ii) the provision (benefit) for taxes, (iii) interest expense, (iv) advisory fees and (v) unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses or charges as reasonably approved by the administrative agent for such period. Adjusted EBITDA is used to calculate the consolidated leverage ratio under the Company’s Term Loan Facility. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business and provides greater transparency into its results of operations.

The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide investors helpful information with respect to the Company’s operations and financial condition. The Company has provided this additional information to assist the reader in understanding its ability to meet future debt service, fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements and to comply with various covenants in each indenture governing the outstanding senior notes, as well as various covenants related to the senior secured credit facilities which are material to the Company’s financial condition and financial statements. Other companies in the retail industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently such that the Company’s calculation may not be directly comparable. The adjustments to these metrics are not in accordance with regulations adopted by the SEC that apply to periodic reports presented under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be presented differently in filings made with the SEC than as presented in this report or not presented at all.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows:

During Fiscal 2012, with approval from the administrative agents for the Term Loan Facility and ABL Line of Credit, we changed the components comprising Adjusted EBITDA such that specific charges associated with our insurance reserves are no longer added back to consolidated net income (loss) when calculating Adjusted EBITDA. These changes were made prospectively. For Fiscal 2011, this change did not impact our Adjusted EBITDA.

In accordance with the credit agreements governing the Term Loan Facility and ABL Line of Credit, the Company made the following EBITDA adjustments related to unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses or charges as reasonably approved by the administrative agents for the period.
