The Company believes that the non-cash accounting charge associated with the change in fair value of derivative instruments is not directly related to its retail operations and is therefore providing supplemental adjusted results that exclude this item. This non-GAAP financial measure should facilitate analysis by investors and others who follow the Company's financial performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP results follows:
