Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(In millions, except per share data) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(Unaudited) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
From time-to-time, the Company discloses certain financial measures not derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, or considered in isolation, for the purposes of analyzing operating performance, financial position, liquidity, or cash flows. The non-GAAP financial measures we have disclosed include adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses; adjusted selling, general and administrative expense rate; adjusted operating income; adjusted operating income margin; adjusted net income; adjusted diluted earnings per share; adjusted effective tax rate; and free cash flow. The Company believes providing additional information in these non-GAAP measures that exclude the unusual expenses described below is beneficial to the users of its financial statements in evaluating the Company's current operating results in relation to past periods. In addition, the Company's debt covenants exclude the impact of certain unusual expenses. The Company has included a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures in the following tables. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1.) In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company recorded a $30.0 million charge to its legal reserve for West Memphis-related matters. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, an additional $26.7 million charge was recorded to the legal reserve for these matters. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the existing reserve was reduced by $2.5 million based on updated information. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2.) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we announced that we had initiated a comprehensive store portfolio optimization review which involved identifying stores for closure, relocation or re-bannering based on an evaluation of current market conditions and individual store performance, among other factors. In connection with this portfolio optimization review, we closed approximately 500 Family Dollar stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and incurred more than $17 million of costs including severance and retention expenses for impacted associates and other related closure costs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition, the Company discloses free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company believes free cash flow is an important indicator of our liquidity as it measures the amount of cash we generate from our business operations. Free cash flow may not represent the amount of cash flow available for general discretionary use, because it excludes non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt repayments and required settlements of recorded and/or contingent liabilities not reflected in cash flow from operations. The Company has included a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measures in the following tables. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
