BlueLinx Holdings Inc. Safe Harbor Statement and Use of Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Information Forward-Looking Statement Safe Harbor - This presentation includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All of these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by our management that, although believed by BlueLinx to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors outside of its control, that may cause our business, strategy or actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may include, among other things: changes in the supply and/or demand for products which we distribute, especially as a result of conditions in the residential housing market; general economic business conditions in the United States; the activities of competitors; changes in significant operating expenses; changes in the availability of capital; the ability to identify acquisition opportunities and effectively and cost-efficiently integrate acquisitions; general economic and business conditions in the United States; adverse weather patterns or conditions; acts of war or terrorist activities; variations in the performance of the financial markets; and other factors described in the "Risk Factors" section in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007, and in its periodic reports filed with the SEC from time to time. In addition, the statements in this presentation are made as of July 30, 2008. The Company expects that subsequent events or developments will cause its views to change. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements made herein, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in expectation or otherwise. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's views as of any date subsequent to July 30, 2008. Use of Non-GAAP and Pro Forma* Financial Information - To supplement GAAP financial statements, the Company may use non-GAAP, or pro forma measures of operating results. This non-GAAP, or pro forma financial information is provided as additional information for investors and is not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP. These adjusted results exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, and we believe their exclusion can enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the operating performance of the Company as opposed to GAAP results, which may include non-recurring, infrequent or other non-cash charges that are not material to the ongoing performance of the Company's business. Company management uses these non-GAAP and pro forma results as a basis for planning and forecasting core business activity in future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, diluted earnings per share or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. |
