In addition, we continue to expect consolidated sales to be in the range of $2.25 billion to $2.35 billion before intercompany eliminations, and capital expenditures to be approximately $50 million. • We currently expect consolidated BNED Adjusted EBITDA for FY2018 to be in the range of $105 million-$120 million. • We expect to provide further detail and information, including a general discussion of management’s plans to address our business trends, during our second quarter FY2018 earnings call, currently scheduled for December 5, 2017. 7

APPENDIX 8

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information To supplement BNED’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), BNED uses the Non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA (defined by BNED as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for additional items subtracted from or added to net income). This Non-GAAP financial measure is not intended as a substitute for and should not be considered superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, BNED's use of this Non-GAAP financial measure may be different from similarly named measures used by other companies, limiting its usefulness for comparison purposes. This Non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of BNED’s performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. BNED's management reviews this Non-GAAP financial measure as an internal measure to evaluate BNED’s performance and manage BNED’s operations. BNED’s management believes that this Non- GAAP financial measure is a useful performance measure which is used by BNED to facilitate a comparison of on-going operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period. BNED’s management believes that this Non-GAAP financial measure provides for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting BNED’s business than measures under GAAP can provide alone, as it excludes certain items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of its operations. BNED’s Board of Directors and management also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expected performance, for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations, and as a measure for performance incentive plans. BNED’s management believes that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA provides investors useful and important information regarding BNED’s operating results. 9
