Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $240.7 million for the three month period ended May 2, 2009 compared to $160.8 million for the three month period ended May 3, 2008. The primary source of cash provided by operating activities for the three month periods ended May 2, 2009 and May 3, 2008 was accounts payable and net earnings plus non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization. The increase in cash flow from operating activities for the three month period ended May 2, 2009 primarily resulted from an increase in accounts payable leverage as a result of faster inventory turns. Accounts payable leverage (defined as accounts payable divided by merchandise inventory) was 61% as of January 31, 2009 and increased to 74% as of May 2, 2009. Accounts payable leverage was 64% as of May 3, 2008.

Working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) was $418.4 million as of May 2, 2009, compared to $418.7 million as of May 3, 2008. Our primary source of liquidity is the sale of our merchandise inventory. We regularly review the age and condition of our merchandise and are able to maintain current merchandise inventory in our stores through replenishment processes and liquidation of slower-moving merchandise through clearance markdowns.
