| Item
2.02 |
| --- |
| On December 6, 2011, the Company
issued a press release reporting fourth quarter fiscal 2011 results. A
copy of the press release is attached to this 8-K. A copy of the press release is
furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The information contained in
this Item 2.02 and the attached Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, 99.5 and
99.6 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and shall not be incorporated by reference
in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 except as shall be
expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. On December 7, 2011, the Company
will conduct a conference call during which certain unaudited, non-GAAP
EBITDA financial information related to the Company’s operations for the
three months ended October 30, 2011 will be disclosed. This information is
set forth in Exhibit 99.6. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial
measure that the Company defines pursuant to its credit agreement. The
Company believes that EBITDA is generally accepted as providing useful
information regarding the operational strength and performance of its
business, including the ability of the Company to pay interest, service
debt and fund capital expenditures. The Company’s method for calculating
EBITDA may not be comparable to methods used by other companies but is the
same method the Company uses for calculating EBITDA under its credit
facility. |
