All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this release, including statements regarding the Company’s future operating results and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “seeks,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “budget,” “potential,” “focused on” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this release are only predictions. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements in this release are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future events, results, performance or achievements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements in this release or the associated webcast/conference call, including, without limitation, those factors described in “Risk Factors,” “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Business” sections and elsewhere in the Company’s final prospectus, dated April 26, 2017 and filed with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 on April 28, 2017.

Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict those events or how they may affect the Company. If a change to the events and circumstances reflected in the Company’s forward-looking statements occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results may vary materially from those expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, the Company does not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein or in the associated webcast/conference call, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise, including the Company’s estimated net sales, comparable store sales growth, GAAP EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, diluted share count, adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding, adjusted EBITDA, warehouse format store count and new warehouse format stores for both the thirteen weeks ended 6/29/17 and all of fiscal 2017 and with respect to the Company’s estimated depreciation and amortization expenses, interest expense, tax rate and capital expenditures for fiscal 2017.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company's financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and aid understanding of the Company's business performance, the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures (namely adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding, adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA) to evaluate our operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in establishing operational goals. We believe that providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, helps investors to (i) evaluate our operating and financial performance and future prospects, (ii) compare financial results across accounting periods, (iii) better understand the long-term performance of our core business, (iv) to determine covenant compliance with respect to our credit facilities and (v) evaluate trends in our business, all consistent with how management and our board of directors evaluates such performance and movements. Under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, non-GAAP financial measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.

Adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding: We define adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding as the weighted average shares outstanding during the relevant period plus the weighted average impact of issuing 10.1 million shares in our IPO. We adjust diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the impact of the IPO as we believe it is useful to investors to better analyze the Company’s ongoing core financial performance in the periods shown to reflect the higher share count associated with the IPO.

Adjusted net income: We define adjusted net income as net income before costs related to the September 30, 2016 refinancing (as described in the Company’s final prospectus, dated April 26, 2017 and filed with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 on April 28, 2017) (the “September 2016 Refinancing”), the IPO, the Term Loan Repricing, legal settlement and loss on early extinguishment of debt and income tax expenses due to the adjustments for the September 2016 Refinancing, the IPO, the Term Loan Repricing, legal settlement and loss on early extinguishment of debt. We adjust interest expense for the September 2016 Refinancing because we believe that presenting the increased interest expense allows investors to better understand and analyze the Company’s core financial performance in the periods shown, including the higher debt incurred as part of the September 2016 Refinancing and associated higher interest in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2017. We adjust for estimated lowered interest expense due to the IPO because we believe that presenting the decreased interest expense allows investors to better understand and analyze the Company’s ongoing core financial performance in the periods shown with lower interest expense associated with our IPO. We adjust for estimated lowered interest expense due to the Term Loan Repricing because we believe that presenting the decreased interest expense allows investors to better understand and analyze the Company’s ongoing core financial performance in the periods shown. We adjust for legal settlements and loss on early extinguishment of debt because we believe these are discrete and not a normal part of our business and removing them allows investors to better understand and analyze the Company’s financial performance in the periods shown. We included the estimated income tax effect of the above mentioned adjustments when presenting adjusted net income because we believe that presenting the estimated income tax effect of adjustments allows investors to better understand and analyze the Company’s core financial performance in the periods shown.

Adjusted diluted EPS: We define adjusted diluted EPS as adjusted net income divided by adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: We define EBITDA as net income before interest, loss on early extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, loss on early extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance and enterprise value. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures, as they eliminate certain expenses that are not indicative of our core operating performance and facilitate a comparison of our core operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a basis to determine covenant compliance with respect to our credit facilities, to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by analysts, investors and other interested parties as performance measures to evaluate companies in our industry.

Use of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. Each of these non-GAAP measures has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.

Please see “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
