Slide 27
 
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to results reported in accordance with GAAP, the Company provides adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income and margin and adjusted earnings per diluted share. These adjusted amounts consist of GAAP amounts excluding inventory write-down and disposition charges to the extent occurring during the period.  Adjusted gross margin is calculated as gross profit plus the book to physical divided by sales.  Adjusted operating income and margin is calculated as operating income plus the book to physical loss divided by sales.  Adjusted earnings per diluted share were calculated by dividing adjusted net income for diluted earnings per share by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
 
The Company measures its performance primarily through its operating profit.  In addition to its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses certain non-GAAP measures, including adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income and margin, and adjusted earnings per diluted share, to measure our operating performance.
 
These non-GAAP measures are presented to enhance an understanding of the Company’s operating results and are not intended to represent cash flow or results of operations.  The use of these non-GAAP measures provides an indication of the Company’s ability to service debt and measure operating performance.  Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance compared to other companies in its industry and beneficial to investors, potential investors and other key stakeholders, including creditors, who use this measure in their evaluation of the Company’s performance.
