Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP disclosures
(Unaudited)
Certain comparisons made in this press release are against a prior
year, fiscal 2004, excluding the effect of certain charges. As
reported in the Company's fiscal 2004 annual consolidated financial
statements, the Company incurred certain litigation settlement charges
that reduced earnings. Since these charges related to settlement of
long-standing litigation, the Company is showing operating income, net
income and diluted net income per share results excluding the effects
of these charges to improve the comparability of year-to-year
results.. Reconciliation for the effect of such a charge on each of
the GAAP financial disclosures to the non-GAAP financials used in this
press release is shown below, and more detail of this charge may be
found in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for
fiscal 2004.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company incurred a charge
related to a settlement of certain lawsuits against the Company's
Cracker Barrel subsidiary. The charge totaled $5.2 million before
taxes and $3.3 million after the effect of income taxes.
