Forward-Looking Statements and
Non-GAAP Information
Forward-Looking Statements and
Non-GAAP Information
Fiscal 2012 second quarter results are unaudited. This presentation contains “forward-looking statements”
which are statements relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, and
competitive environment. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this
presentation, including statements regarding our future financial position, future revenue, prospects, plans and
objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “project,” “looking ahead” and similar expressions, as
well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. You should not read forward looking
statements as a guarantee of future performance or results. They will not necessarily be accurate indications of
whether or at what time such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based
on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief at that
time with respect to future events. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking
statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to factors described
under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 30, 2011,
and other risks outlined in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). The forward-looking statements in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by this
cautionary statement. Except as required by law, the Company may not update forward-looking statements
even though its situation may change in the future.
This presentation includes certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures as defined by SEC rules. We believe that the
presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial measures provides information that is useful to investors because it
allows for a more direct comparison of our performance for the period with our performance in the comparable
prior-year periods. As required by the SEC, we have provided a reconciliation of those measures to the most
directly comparable GAAP measures on the Regulation G slides included as slides 11 through 15 of this
presentation. We caution that Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a
substitute for, our reported GAAP results.
