Item 12. |
|
Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
|
On February 17, 2004, we issued our Fourth Quarter 2003 Fact Book, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.
We present our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement the GAAP presentations in this Fact Book, we also present the results of our operations before special items. For example, we present results that exclude items such as asset write-downs, the effect of accounting changes, and other items we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operations. Further, in some instances, we present results that exclude the impact of our recent acquisition of OfficeMax, Inc. We believe this presentation, together with the GAAP presentation, allows investors to compare our core operating results within the period both before and after this acquisition and also to compare our core operations from period to period. We believe our presentation of results before these special items provides useful information to both investors and management by excluding gains and losses that are not indicative of our core operating results.
We have reconciled the non-GAAP financial measures to our reported financial performance in the financial notes that accompany our Fact Book.
