Item
2.02. Results of Operations and
Financial Condition.
On April 14, 2022, Rite Aid Corporation (the “Company”)
reported its financial position and results of operations as of and for the thirteen and fifty-two weeks fiscal year ended February 26,
2022. The press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures, “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Net Income (Loss)”
and “Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share.” The Company uses these non-GAAP measures in assessing its performance
in addition to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income
(Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share to net income (loss) and net income (loss) per diluted share, the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures, are included in the press release, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA serves as
an appropriate measure in evaluating the performance of its business and helps its investors better compare the Company’s operating
performance with its competitors. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding the impact of income taxes, interest
expense, depreciation and amortization, LIFO adjustments, charges or credits for facility exit and impairment, goodwill and intangible
asset impairment charges, inventory write-downs related to store closings, gains or losses on debt retirements and modifications and other
items (including stock-based compensation expense, merger and acquisition-related costs, non-recurring litigation settlements, severance,
restructuring-related costs, costs related to facility closures, gain or loss on sale of assets, the gain or loss on Bartell acquisition,
and the change in estimate related to manufacturer rebate receivables). The Company references this non-GAAP financial measure frequently
in its decision-making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates internal comparisons to historical periods and external
comparisons to competitors. In addition, incentive compensation is based in part on Adjusted EBITDA and the Company bases certain of its
forward-looking estimates and budgets on Adjusted EBITDA.
The Company defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
as net income (loss) excluding amortization expense, merger and acquisition-related costs, non-recurring litigation settlements, gains
or losses on debt retirements and modifications, LIFO adjustments, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, restructuring-related
costs, the gain or loss on Bartell acquisition, and the change in estimate related to manufacturer rebate receivables. The Company calculates
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share using the Company’s above-referenced definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss). The
Company believes Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share serve as appropriate measures to be used
in evaluating the performance of its business and help its investors better compare the Company’s operating performance over multiple
periods.
In addition, the add back of LIFO (credit) charge
when calculating Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share removes the entire impact
of LIFO (credits) charges, and effectively reflects Rite Aid’s results as if the Company was on a FIFO inventory basis.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share should not be considered in isolation from, and are not intended to represent alternative
measures of, operating results or of cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s
definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share may not be comparable to similarly
titled measurements reported by other companies or similar terms in the Company’s debt facilities.
In addition, a copy of the Company’s Earnings
Release Supplement for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 is being furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K.
The information (including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2)
being furnished pursuant to this “Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition” shall not be deemed to be “filed”
for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities
of that section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
