Regulation FD Disclosure, Financial Statements and Exhibits
The Company will be presenting a slide presentation to various investment groups at upcoming investor conferences beginning on September 16, 2009. A copy of the slides to be presented at those conferences is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1, which slide presentation is incorporated by reference herein.
The slide presentation contained in the exhibit includes statements intended as "forward-looking statements," which are subject to the cautionary statement about forward-looking statements set forth in the exhibit. The slide presentation is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to Regulation FD. Accordingly, the slide presentation will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference. The furnishing of the slide presentation is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or admission by the Company that the information in the slide presentation is material or complete, or that investors should consider this information before making an investment decision with respect to the Company.
Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures
The slide presentation includes the discussion of non-GAAP free cash flow on slides 4 and 7. Free cash flow is not a measure determined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.
In addition, all companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, "free cash flows" as presented in this slide presentation may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. The Company calculates free cash flows as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures and discretionary store asset acquisitions, if any. We calculate projected free cash flows for fiscal 2009 of $20.0-$25.0 million as estimated cash flow from operating activities of $25.0-$30.0 million, less estimated capital expenditures of $5.0 million (no discretionary store asset acquisitions are anticipated in fiscal 2009). Free cash flow for fiscal 2008 of $7.6 million was calculated as cash flow from operating activities of $23.2 million less capital expenditures of $12.6 million and less $3.0 million for discretionary store asset acquisitions. Free cash flow for fiscal 2007 of $(9.6) million was calculated as cash flow from operating activities of $11.7 million less capital expenditures of $21.3 million. There were no discretionary store asset acquisitions in fiscal 2007. During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we changed our method of calculating free cash flow to include, as a deduction, the use of cash for discretionary store asset acquisitions, if any. Accordingly, free cash flow for fiscal 2008, which was previously defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures, was restated to include, as a deduction, the cash used for discretionary store asset acquisitions of $3.0 million, for the Company's acquisition of Dahle's Big & Tall stores.
We believe that inclusion of this non-GAAP measure helps investors gain a better understanding of our performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods
