Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On December 2, 2015, the Company issued a press release reporting fourth quarter fiscal 2015 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 3, 2015, the Company will conduct a conference call during which certain unaudited, non-GAAP financial information related to the Company’s operations for the three months ended November 1, 2015 will be disclosed. This information is set forth in Exhibit 99.5 and 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.
