(Unaudited)

Set forth below is summary condensed consolidated financial data for TRU Taj LLC (“TRU Taj”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Toys “R” Us, Inc. (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, as well as the last twelve months (“LTM”) ended October 28, 2017, and the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Data as of October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively, which is being furnished pursuant to the indentures relating to the 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the “Taj Notes”) and the 11% Taj DIP Notes due 2019 issued by TRU Taj.

On September 18, 2017 (“the Petition Date”), TRU Taj, the Company and certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division (“Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes under the caption In re Toys “R” Us, Inc. et al., Case No. 14-34665 (KLP). Documents and other information related to the Chapter 11 Proceedings is available free of charge online at https://cases.primeclerk.com/toysrus/. The Debtors will continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” in the ordinary course under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Certain subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company will continue to operate their businesses in the normal course and their results are included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Data.
The financial data set forth below was derived from the Company’s internal financial statements and has not been audited or reviewed by our independent accountants. The financial data set forth below should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended October 28, 2017.

(a)
Comprised of Toys “R” Us Property Company I, LLC’s (“Propco I”) base rents and tenant reimbursements from Toys “R” Us - Delaware, Inc.
(b)
Consists of expenses and gains and losses that directly relate to the restructuring process.
(c)
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (earnings (loss) before net interest expense (income), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization), as further adjusted to exclude the effects of certain income and expense items that management believes make it more difficult to assess actual operating performance including certain items which are generally non-recurring. We have excluded the impact of such items from internal performance assessments. We believe that excluding items such as goodwill and asset impairment charges, impact of litigation, noncontrolling interest, net loss (gain) on sales of properties and other charges, helps investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods. We believe it is appropriate to exclude these items as they are not related to ongoing operating performance and, therefore, limit comparability between periods and between us and similar companies.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Investors regularly request Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental analytical measure to, and in conjunction with, our financial data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We understand that investors use Adjusted EBITDA, among other things, to assess our period-to-period operating performance and to gain insight into the manner in which management analyzes operating performance.

2



In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Using several measures to evaluate the business allows us and investors to assess our relative performance against our competitors. We also use Adjusted EBITDA for the calculation of certain ratios in accordance with our debt covenants.
Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA can make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because it removes items that do not reflect our core operations, other companies, even in the same industry, may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA or similarly named non-GAAP measures that other companies may use to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. The Company does not, and investors should not, place undue reliance on EBITDA; or Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance.
(d)
Issuer Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, and the calculation there of, is defined in the indenture related to the Taj Notes (“Taj Notes Indenture”), included in the Company’s Form 8-K, filed August 18, 2016. A reconciliation of Net (loss) earnings attributable to TRU Taj and its subsidiaries to Issuer Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the table on the following page. Issuer Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein has been calculated in accordance with the definition of “Issuer Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.” Issuer Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is primarily a covenant calculation, and therefore is not entirely comparable to the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the Company. We believe that the presentation of Issuer Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding the Taj Notes Indenture covenants.
(e)
The Issuer Leverage Ratio has been calculated in accordance with the definition of “Issuer Leverage Ratio” as defined in the Taj Notes Indenture, using the aggregate principal amount of the Taj Notes and specified other debt. Accordingly, the calculation of the Issuer Leverage Ratio represents the ratio of:
the sum of (i) $583 million of the Taj Notes, plus (ii) $35 million of Toys-Japan 1.04%-2.18% loans, plus (iii) $7 million of financing obligations and other borrowed monies of Toys “R” Us SARL; to
Issuer Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.
The Issuer Leverage Ratio is primarily a covenant calculation, and therefore would not be comparable to a leverage ratio calculated for the Company on a consolidated basis.

(i)
The amounts presented for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016 and the last twelve months ended October 28, 2017 are based on the minority interest percentage of ownership in the Asia JV during each of those respective periods. On March 24, 2017, the Company combined the legal entity structure for its Toys-Japan and China and Southeast Asia businesses (the “Asia Merger”). The combination was effected by the issuance of new shares of the Asia JV in exchange for our contribution of Toys-Japan, which resulted in Fung Retailing’s ownership of 15% in the combined company and our ownership of 85% in the combined company. Prior to the Asia Merger, Fung Retailing held a 30% interest in the Asia JV business.
