1 Rent expense is added back to operating income to show the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.
2 Depreciation is based on the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending capitalized operating lease obligations (see note 5) for the respective reporting periods with an assumed thirty-year useful life. This life assumption is based on our long-term participation in given markets though specific retail location lease commitments are generally 5 to 10 years at inception. This is subtracted from operating income to illustrate the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.
3 Reflects annual effective income tax rates, before discrete adjustments, of 24.0% and 24.4% for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
4 Long-term debt includes existing finance lease liabilities.
5 A multiple of eight times annual rent expense is used as an estimate for capitalizing our operating lease obligations. The methodology utilized aligns with the methodology of a nationally recognized credit rating agency.
6 Average invested capital represents the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending invested capital balances.
7 ROIC equals NOPAT divided by average invested capital.
