Results of Operations and Financial Condition
|
Barnes & Noble, Inc. (the “Company”) will hold an investor presentation on June 23, 2016. A copy of the slides that will be used during the investor presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information furnished in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under Section 18 of the Exchange Act and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), in the Investor Presentation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, the Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure of EBITDA (defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization).
The Company’s management reviews this non-GAAP measure internally to evaluate the Company’s performance and manage its operations. The Company believes that the inclusion of EBITDA results provide investors useful and important information regarding the Company’s operating results. The non-GAAP measure included in the Investor Presentation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 has been reconciled to the comparable GAAP measure as required under SEC rules regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures. The Company urges investors to carefully review the GAAP financial information included as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and quarterly earnings releases.
