Financial Statements and Exhibits. (c) Exhibits 99.1 Press Release dated January 29, 2004 Item 12. Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. On January 29, 2004, 7-Eleven, Inc. (the "Company") issued an earnings release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2003. A copy of the earnings release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The release includes references to "core earnings," which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that core earnings, which exclude non-operating items, are more indicative of the Company's operating performance than net earnings. With regard to the Company's results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2003, the earnings release includes tables that reconcile core earnings to net earnings, which the Company believes to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The information contained in the attached Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
