Definitions
* Identical sales: net sales from exactly the same stores in local currency for the comparable period. * Comparable sales: identical sales plus net sales from replacement stores in local currency. * Constant exchange rates: excludes the impact of using different currency exchange rates to translate the financial information of certain of Ahold's subsidiaries or joint ventures to euros. For comparison purposes, the financial information of the previous year or quarter is adjusted using the average currency exchange rates for the current year or quarter in order to understand this currency impact.
Non-GAAP financial measures
This trading statement includes the following non-GAAP financial measures:
* Net sales, at constant exchange rates. Net sales, at constant exchange rates, exclude the impact of using different currency exchange rates to translate the financial information of certain Ahold subsidiaries or joint ventures to euros. Ahold's management believes this measure provides a better insight into the operating performance of Ahold's foreign subsidiaries or joint ventures. * Identical sales, excluding gasoline net sales. Because gasoline prices have experienced greater volatility than food prices, Ahold's management believes that by excluding gasoline net sales, this measure provides a better insight into the effect of gasoline net sales on Ahold's identical sales.
Ahold's financial year
* Ahold's reporting calendar is based on 13 periods of four weeks. The quarters in 2008 are as follows: First Quarter December 31, 2007 through April 20, 2008 Second Quarter April 21 through July 13, 2008 Third Quarter July 14 through October 5, 2008 Fourth Quarter October 6 through December 28, 2008
