(1) | Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by average common shares outstanding during the period. | |
(2) | Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the average common shares and dilutive potential common shares (common stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock) outstanding during the period. | |
(3) | EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be used as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. | |
(4) | The Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosure Items includes the following non-GAAP financial measures (1) pro forma net loss, (2) pro forma diluted loss per common share and (3) EBITDA. The Company believes that the disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors or other users of the financial statements, such as lenders. For pro forma net loss and pro forma diluted loss per common share, interest expense and diluted shares have been computed as if the recapitalization transactions were completed as described in Note 5 below. The presentation of EBITDA is provided as a convenience to the Companys lenders because EBITDA is a component of certain debt covenants. | |
(5) | During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, Scotts Miracle-Gro completed a significant recapitalization plan. The objective of this plan, announced on December 12, 2006, was to return $750 million to the Companys shareholders. This was accomplished via a share repurchase that totaled $245.5 million, or 4.5 million shares, which was completed via a modified Dutch auction tender offer on February 14, 2007, and a special one-time cash dividend of $8.00 per share, totaling $508.0 million, which was paid on March 5, 2007 to shareholders of record as of February 26, 2007. | |
In order to fund these transactions, the Company entered into new credit facilities aggregating to $2.15 billion. As part of this debt restructuring, the Company launched a successful tender offer for all of its $200 million 6 5/8% senior subordinated notes, which were retired in the second quarter. | ||
Subsequent to the completion of this recapitalization, the Companys interest expense has been and will be significantly higher as a result of the borrowings incurred to fund the cash returned to shareholders and related expenses. The following pro forma incremental interest expense has been determined as if the Company had completed these recapitalization transactions as of October 1, 2006 for fiscal 2007. Borrowing rates in effect as of March 30, 2007 were used to compute this pro forma interest expense. As the recapitalization involved a share repurchase, pro forma diluted shares are also provided. |
