Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 8, 2015, Dollar Tree, Inc. (“Dollar Tree”) issued the following supplementary information regarding certain matters relating to the recently completed acquisition of Family Dollar Stores, Inc. (“Family Dollar”):
• | Reconciliation of Second Quarter 2015 Reported Results to Results Adjusted for the Effects of Purchase Accounting |
• | Summary of Family Dollar Stores, Inc. Reclassification Amounts from Selling, General and Administrative Expenses to Cost of Sales |
• | Summary of Expected Purchase Accounting Effect on Third Quarter and Fourth Quarter 2015 and Expected Interest Expense for Third Quarter and Fourth Quarter 2015 |
Management of Dollar Tree believes that the Reconciliation of Second Quarter 2015 Reported Results to Results Adjusted for the Effects of Purchase Accounting is useful to investors because it shows the effect of acquisition-related costs, purchase accounting adjustments and significant markdowns on reported results for the second quarter of 2015 and should enable more relevant comparisons of results in future quarters.
The Summary of Family Dollar Stores, Inc. Reclassification Amounts from Selling, General and Administrative Expenses to Cost of Sales is believed to be useful to investors because it shows the amounts which Family Dollar would have reported in cost of sales had it reported based on the same fiscal periods and accounting policies of Dollar Tree. This information is expected to allow for more relevant comparisons of results in future quarters.
The Summary of Expected Purchase Accounting Effect on Third Quarter and Fourth Quarter 2015 and Expected Interest Expense for Third Quarter and Fourth Quarter 2015 is believed to be useful because it provides forward-looking information with regards to the expected effect of purchase accounting entries and the expected interest expense associated with Dollar Tree’s debt structure following the acquisition of Family Dollar.
This supplementary information is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference.
The information contained in this Item 7.01, including that incorporated by reference, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements contained herein are "forward-looking statements" that are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements and information about Dollar Tree's current and future prospects and its operations and financial results are based on currently available information. Various risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause actual future results and financial performance to vary significantly from those anticipated in such statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein include certain plans, activities or events which Dollar Tree expects will or may occur in the future and relate to, among other things, the consummation of the pending divestiture, and the benefits, results, effects, timing and certainty of the pending transaction between Dollar Tree and Family Dollar.
Risks and uncertainties related to the acquisition of Family Dollar and the pending divestiture include, among others: the risk that the divestiture agreement with Sycamore Partners, which is subject to various conditions, does not close; costs and difficulties related to the integration of Family Dollar's business and operations with Dollar Tree's business and operations and the divestiture; and the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, the cost savings and synergies contemplated by the acquisition of Family Dollar. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made by Dollar Tree, in this and in other documents or statements are qualified by factors, risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those set forth under the headings titled "A Warning About Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in Dollar Tree's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 and Dollar Tree's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 1, 2015, and other reports filed by Dollar Tree with the SEC, which are available at the SEC's website http://www.sec.gov.
Please read Dollar Tree's "Risk Factors" and other cautionary statements contained in its filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Dollar Tree undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, even if experience or future changes make it clear that projected results expressed or implied in such statements will not be realized, except as may be required by law. As a result of these risks and others, actual results could vary significantly from those anticipated herein, and Dollar Tree's financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
