Use of Non-GAAP Measures Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, income taxes, impairment charges and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities or other income or cash flow statement data. The Company has included information concerning Adjusted EBITDA because it believes investors find this information useful as a reflection of the resources available for strategic opportunities including, among others, to invest in the Company’s business, make strategic acquisitions and to service debt. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to review the performance of the Company's business directly resulting from its retail operations and for budgeting and compensation targets. Adjusted EBITDA does not include impairment of long-lived assets and other charges. The Company excluded the effect of impairment losses because it believes that including them in Adjusted EBITDA is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of its remaining assets. Adjusted EBITDA does not include gain/loss on extinguishment of debt because it represents financing activities and is not indicative of the ongoing performance of the Company’s remaining stores. Slide 24

Use of Non-GAAP Measures Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Fuel Gross Profit Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Fuel Gross Profit is Adjusted EBITDA before fuel gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Fuel Gross Profit is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities or other income or cash flow statement data. The Company has included information concerning Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Fuel Gross Profit because it believes investors find this information useful as a helpful measure in assessing the performance of the merchandise portion of its business. 25

Use of Non-GAAP Measures Free Cash Flow Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less net capital expenditures. Free cash flow is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for cash flows provided by operating activities or other cash flow statement data. We have included information concerning free cash flow because we believe it provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after capital expenditures, which can then be used to, among other things, retire debt, make strategic acquisitions and strengthen the balance sheet. A limitation on the utility of free cash flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for the period. Slide 26

Additional Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures Any measure that excludes interest expense, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, income taxes, or fuel gross profit has material limitations because the Company uses debt and lease financing in order to finance its operations and acquisitions, uses profit, capital and intangible assets in its business and must pay income taxes and rent as a necessary element of its operations. Due to these limitations, the Company uses non-GAAP measures in addition to and in conjunction with results and cash flows presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, the non-GAAP financial measures referenced herein, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. It therefore may not be possible to compare our use of non-GAAP financial measures with non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names used by other companies. Slide 27
