The remaining year-over-year decrease primarily reflected lower payroll expenses partially offset by higher marketing and depreciation.

DOLLAR TREE, INC.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(In millions, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
From time-to-time, the Company discloses certain financial measures not derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, or considered in isolation, for the purposes of analyzing operating performance, financial position, liquidity, or cash flows. The non-GAAP financial measures we have disclosed include adjusted corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive and inclusive of transition services agreement income, net; adjusted corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive and inclusive of transition services agreement income, net as a percentage of total revenue; adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive and inclusive of transition services agreement income, net; adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive and inclusive of transition services agreement income, net as a percentage of total revenue; adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses; adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, exclusive of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue; adjusted operating income; adjusted operating income margin; adjusted income from continuing operations; adjusted income from continuing operations as a percentage of total revenue; adjusted diluted earnings per share - continuing operations; and adjusted effective tax rate, in each case with respect to our continuing operations. The Company believes providing additional information in these non-GAAP measures that exclude the unusual expenses and income described below is beneficial to the users of its financial statements in evaluating the Company's current operating results in relation to past periods. In addition, the Company's debt covenants exclude the impact of certain unusual expenses. The Company has included a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures in the following tables.
1.)
During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Family Dollar business, and completed the sale on July 5, 2025. We incurred consulting, legal and other expenses related to the sale and separation activities, including costs associated with optimizing the remaining Dollar Tree business post-divestiture. Costs associated with these activities incurred in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2025 totaled $5.0 million and $8.7 million, respectively.
2.)
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, a tornado destroyed our Dollar Tree distribution center in Marietta, Oklahoma ("DC 8"). As a result of the destruction, we have incurred losses totaling $129.0 million, consisting of $70.0 million related to damaged inventory and $59.0 million related to property and equipment. These losses are fully insured and therefore not contemplated in the non-GAAP adjustments below. Since the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we have received insurance proceeds totaling $125.0 million related to damaged inventory, and $100.0 million related to damaged property, including $70.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and $5.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we recorded a gain of $29.7 million for insurance proceeds received. We recorded additional gains in the first quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026 totaling $61.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, for insurance proceeds received.
DOLLAR TREE, INC.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(In millions, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
In addition, the Company discloses free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company believes free cash flow is an important indicator of our liquidity as it measures the amount of cash we generate from our business operations. Free cash flow may not represent the amount of cash flow available for general discretionary use, because it excludes non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt repayments and required settlements of recorded and/or contingent liabilities not reflected in cash flow from operations. The Company has included a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measures in the following tables.
A reconciliation of the projected adjusted diluted EPS, which is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide a reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty predicting the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized. GAAP measures may include the impact of such items as litigation reserves; restructuring charges; goodwill and intangible asset impairments; natural disasters; our store portfolio optimization review and strategic review and sale of Family Dollar, and the tax effect of all such items. Historically, the company has excluded these items from non-GAAP financial measures. The company currently expects to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures and may also exclude other items that may arise (collectively, “non-GAAP adjustments”). The decisions and events that typically lead to the recognition of non-GAAP adjustments, such as a decision to exit part of the business or reaching settlement of a legal dispute, are inherently unpredictable as to if or when they may occur. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
