AND SUBSIDIARIES RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED) Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the U.K. restructuring charge is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2009 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that excluding this item allows for a more meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company's financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is evaluating the Company's financial performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. (1) The U.K. restructuring charge is comprised of facility and other exit costs associated with the disposal or closure of 37 branch locations related to the restructuring program.
