Consolidated EBITDA should not be consideredan alternative measure of our net income, operating performance, cash flows or liquidity. The amount of consolidated EBITDA is provided as additional information relevant to compliance with our debt covenants. | |
(b) | Leverage ratio is defined as the Company’s total debt at March 28, 2009 and March 22, 2008, divided by Consolidated EBITDA for the respective four trailing quarters. The most comparable GAAP ratio is debt at the same date divided by earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the respective four quarters. |
