In the press release announcing third-quarter operating results, the company provides both earnings per diluted share determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and earnings per diluted share excluding both (i) a fiscal 2004 charge related to refinancing, which was recorded in interest expense and (ii) the effect of the 53rd week of fiscal year 2004. This non-GAAP financial measure is used by management to evaluate financial and operating performance. Management does not consider the refinancing charge to be directly related to operating results for the period. Not all fiscal years have 53 weeks. Use of this non-GAAP measure also facilitates comparisons between current and prior period financial results and to the results of the company's competitors. This financial measure is also comparable to forecasts made by securities analysts and others, which generally exclude special items, as they are difficult to predict in advance. Non-GAAP measures are not intended to be a substitute for net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP. Jack in the Box Inc. will conduct a conference call on August 10, 2005, at 8:30 a.m. PDT to review Jack in the Box Inc. third-quarter results and guidance for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2005.
