Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 15, 2004, Nash Finch Company (“Nash Finch”) issued a press release announcing its results for the twelve weeks ended June 19, 2004. The press release by which these results were announced is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The press release includes financial measures that are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures for purposes of the SEC’s Regulation G. As required by Regulation G, Nash Finch has disclosed in the press release (including the schedules attached thereto) information regarding the GAAP financial measures which are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures presented, and reconciling information between these GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Relevant reconciling information is also provided on the “Investor Relations” portion of our website, under the caption “Presentations – Supplemental Financial Information”.
As noted in the press release, the following three non-GAAP financial measures; Consolidated EBITDA, leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, (defined in the press release schedules) are presented within this release. Nash Finch management believes the presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors because Consolidated EBITDA forms the basis for the most significant financial covenants, including the leverage ratio and the interest coverage ratio, in the Nash Finch bank credit facility, which represents one of Nash Finch’s primary sources of liquidity. Compliance with these financial covenants is essential to continued credit availability under that facility.
