The Company recorded a $157.2 million non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

      Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted SG&A expense are not financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). For a description of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of these measures to GAAP measures, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and Exhibit D of this press release.

      Balance Sheet and Other Highlights

      • There were $33.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Company's $225 million asset-backed loan facility and approximately $103.3 million of undrawn availability after deducting letters of credit and outstanding borrowings at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
      • Capital expenditures were $32.0 million during fiscal 2014.
      • Inventory balances at the end of fiscal 2014 were $198.3 million compared to $175.5 million at the end of fiscal 2013. On a per square foot basis, inventory cost increased 13% year over year and inventory units increased by a mid-teen percentage year over year.

      Fiscal 2015 Business Outlook

      The Company's fiscal 2015 outlook is based on current economic environment trends, as well as management expectations for the remainder of the year.

      First Quarter

      The Company anticipates Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 to be in the range of $12 million to $15 million.  This expectation reflects flat to slightly negative comparable sales, as well as the impact of the port slowdown, which is estimated to negatively impact Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $6 million.

      Full Year

      For the full year, the Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $95 million to $105 million, which includes a negative impact to Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $9 million to $12 million resulting from the port slowdown in the first half of the year. Based on this guidance, the Company expects to have sufficient liquidity during fiscal 2015 to service its debt and invest in the business to drive long-term growth.

      Stores

      During fiscal 2015, the Company plans to open approximately 12 stores and expects to close approximately 30 to 40 stores.

      Capital Expenditures

      During fiscal 2015, the Company anticipates spending approximately $25 million to $30 million for capital expenditures.

      Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      The Company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as net loss attributable to The Gymboree Corporation before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") adjusted for other items including loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash share-based compensation, loss on disposal/impairment of assets and sponsor management fees and expenses, as well as the impact of purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the Acquisition and other non-recurring or unusual items.  The Company is likely to exclude these items from Adjusted EBITDA in the future and may also exclude other similar items, the effect of which is uncertain but may be significant in amount.  The determination of the amounts that are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts.

      Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure but is considered an important supplemental measure of the Company's performance and is believed to be used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of similar retail companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and the Company's computation of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in the industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net income, as a measure of operating performance or cash flow, or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP (see Exhibit D for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to The Gymboree Corporation).

      RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

      ADJUSTED EBITDA:









      The Company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income (loss) attributable to The Gymboree Corporation before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense/benefit, and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") adjusted for other items, including non-cash share-based compensation, loss on disposal/impairment of assets, sponsor management fees and expenses, as well as the impact of purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the acquisition of the Company by investment funds sponsored by Bain Capital Partners, LLC (the "Acquisition"), non-recurring and unusual items.

      Adjusted EBITDA is not a performance measure under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but is considered an important supplemental measure of the Company's performance and is believed to be used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of similar retail companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and the Company's computation of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in the industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net income, as a measure of operating performance or cash flow, or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.

      The table below provides a reconciliation of net loss attributable to The Gymboree Corporation to Adjusted EBITDA:
