(a) Our fiscal year includes 52 or 53 weeks and ends on the last Saturday of the calendar year. References to fiscal year mean the year in which that fiscal year ended. Fiscal year 2016 consisted of 53 weeks while all other fiscal years presented consisted of 52 weeks.

(b) Beginning in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016, selected financial and operating information includes the consolidation of Petsense, unless otherwise noted.

(c) Basic net income per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding applied to net income. Diluted net income per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted share units.

(d) Comparable store metrics are calculated on an annual basis using sales generated from all stores open at least one year and all online sales, excluding certain adjustments to net sales. Beginning in fiscal 2015, stores closed during the year are removed from our comparable store metrics calculations. This change in the calculation methodology did not have a material impact on the comparable store metrics reported in prior periods presented due to the minimal number of stores closed in those periods. Stores relocated during the years being compared are not removed from our comparable store metrics. If the effect of relocated stores on our comparable store metrics becomes material, we would remove relocated stores from the calculations. Acquired Petsense stores are considered comparable stores beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.

(e) New stores sales metrics are based on stores open for less than one year.

(f) Assumes average inventory cost, excluding inventory in-transit.

(g) Working capital for 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015 reflects deferred tax assets as non-current as a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-17. Year 2014 has not been adjusted to reflect the adoption of this guidance.

(h) Long-term debt includes amounts outstanding under the Company’s debt facilities and capital lease obligations, excluding the current portions.
