Recent Financial Performance

The following sets forth preliminary unaudited financial information for Family Dollar for the fiscal month ended January 3, 2015 and the corresponding fiscal month of the previous fiscal year. The information set forth below is subject to change or standard end-of-period adjustments in connection with the finalization of financial statements for Family Dollar’s fiscal quarter ending February 28, 2015.

Consolidated net sales for the fiscal month ended January 3, 2015 increased 3.6% to $1.21 billion from $1.17 billion in the corresponding fiscal month of the previous fiscal year. Consolidated same-store sales increased 1.2% compared to a 3.0% decrease in the corresponding prior year fiscal month.

Gross profit increased 5.4% to $422.5 million from $401.0 million in the corresponding prior year fiscal month. As a percent of sales, gross margin increased by approximately 59 basis points to 34.91%. The primary contributors to the increase were fewer markdowns, increased purchase markups, and less freight expense. These benefits were partially offset by the sales mix shift to lower-margin consumables.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 24.6% of sales compared to 24.4% of sales in the corresponding prior year fiscal month. The results for the fiscal month ended January 3, 2015 included $1.2 million in acquisition-related costs associated with the Acquisition. Excluding acquisition-related costs, selling, general and administrative costs were 24.5% of sales, a 10 basis point increase compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase as a percent of sales was primarily attributable to increased occupancy costs (rent, depreciation) as well as increased supplies and advertising. These negative impacts were partially offset by lower insurance, maintenance, and professional fees.

We opened 34 stores, renovated, expanded or relocated 30 stores, and closed 15 stores during the fiscal month. Retail selling square footage increased to 58.8 million square feet, a 1.3% increase compared to 58.0 million square feet as of the end of the corresponding prior year period.

In the event that the date on which the Acquisition occurs is after the filing deadline for our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending February 28, 2015, our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending February 28, 2015 will be included in such Quarterly Report, which will be filed with the SEC if required by applicable law or SEC rules. The final consolidated financial results for the fiscal quarter ending February 28, 2015 will include results for the fiscal month ended January 3, 2015 and may vary from our expectations and may be materially different from the preliminary financial information provided above.

Risk Factors

The preliminary financing materials contain updates to the following risk factors presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 30, 2014.

Combining the two companies may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and the anticipated benefits, synergies and cost savings of the Acquisition may not be realized, including as a result of the challenges Family Dollar has been recently experiencing as a stand-alone company.

Family Dollar and Dollar Tree have operated and, until the completion of the Acquisition, will continue to operate, independently. The success of the Acquisition, including anticipated benefits, synergies and cost savings, will depend, in part, on Dollar Tree’s ability to successfully combine and integrate the businesses of Dollar Tree and Family Dollar. It is possible that the pendency of the Acquisition and/or the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, higher than expected costs, litigation relating to the Acquisition, diversion of management attention of both Family Dollar and Dollar Tree, increased competition, the disruption of either company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the combined company’s ability to maintain relationships with customers, vendors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Acquisition. If Dollar Tree experiences difficulties with the integration process, the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Family Dollar’s first quarter of fiscal year 2015 experienced increased pressures on merchandise margin, deleveraging of expenses and increased professional fees, and such conditions may continue in the remainder of fiscal year 2015. Moreover, Family Dollar has recently experienced turnover in its corporate offices and may continue to do so during the pendency of the Acquisition and/or integration process. Each of these factors, among others, could negatively impact the actual benefits realized in the Acquisition. Furthermore, integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on each of Dollar Tree and Family Dollar during this transition period and for an undetermined period after completion of the Acquisition on the combined company. In addition, the actual cost savings of the Acquisition could be less than anticipated.

In order to complete the Acquisition, Dollar Tree and Family Dollar must make certain governmental filings and obtain certain governmental authorizations, and if such filings and authorizations are not made or granted or are granted with conditions, completion of the Acquisition may be jeopardized or the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition could be reduced.

Although Dollar Tree and Family Dollar have agreed in the Merger Agreement to use their reasonable best efforts, subject to certain limitations, to make certain governmental filings and obtain the required expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, there can be no assurance that the waiting period under the HSR Act will expire or be terminated. As a condition to granting termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, governmental authorities may impose requirements, limitations or costs or require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of Dollar Tree’s business after completion of the Acquisition. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, Dollar Tree and its subsidiaries are required to accept certain conditions and take certain actions imposed by governmental authorities that would apply to, or affect, the businesses, assets or properties of it, its subsidiaries or Family Dollar and its subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that regulators will not impose conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions (including requiring divestitures) and that such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions (including divestitures) will not have the effect of delaying completion of the Acquisition or imposing additional material costs on or materially limiting the revenues of the combined company following the Acquisition, or otherwise adversely affecting business and results of operations of the combined company after completion of the Acquisition. In addition, we can provide no assurance that these conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions will not result in the delay or abandonment of the Acquisition. There can also be no assurance that regulators will not seek to challenge the Acquisition.

Legal Proceedings

The preliminary financing materials contain the following update to the information presented in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 29, 2014 under the heading “Shareholder Litigation.”

No schedule has yet been set for the adjudication of the plaintiffs’ remaining claims for relief in the three putative class action lawsuits that have been filed against Family Dollar, its directors, Dollar Tree and merger sub in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Post-Acquisition Refinancing of Existing FDO Indebtedness

The preliminary financing materials discuss various debt financing transactions of Dollar Tree anticipated to be entered into in connection with the Acquisition, including Dollar Tree’s incurrence of indebtedness under certain new senior secured credit facilities (the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities”), the securing of Family Dollar’s existing $300 million of unsecured senior notes due February 1, 2021 (the “Existing 2021 Family Dollar Notes”) equally and ratably with the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities to the extent required by the indenture governing the Existing 2021 Family Dollar Notes, and the refinancing of certain of Dollar Tree’s and Family Dollar’s existing indebtedness. Family Dollar’s $250 million unsecured senior notes due September 27, 2015, its $600 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders, entered into on November 13, 2013, and its $300 million four-year unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders, entered into on November 13, 2013, are expected to be refinanced in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition.
