ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The following table sets forth selected consolidated financial information of Dollar
General Corporation as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The selected historical
statement of operations data and statement of cash flows data for the fiscal years or periods, as
applicable, ended January 30, 2009, February 1, 2008, July 6, 2007 and February 2, 2007, and
balance sheet data as of January 30, 2009 and February 1, 2008 have been derived from our
historical audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. The
selected historical statement of operations data and statement of cash flows data for the fiscal
years ended February 3, 2006 and January 28, 2005 and balance sheet data as of February 2,
2007, February 3, 2006 and January 28, 2005 presented in this table have been derived from
audited consolidated financial statements not included in this report.
On July 6, 2007, we completed a merger (the “Merger”) and, as a result, we are a
subsidiary of a Delaware limited partnership controlled by investment funds affiliated with
Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., L.P. As a result of the Merger of the Company and Buck
Acquisition Corp. (“Buck”), the related purchase accounting adjustments, and a new basis of
accounting beginning on July 7, 2007, the 2007 financial reporting periods presented below
include the Predecessor period of the Company reflecting 22 weeks of operating results from
February 3, 2007 to July 6, 2007 and 30 weeks of operating results for the Successor period,
reflecting the Merger from July 7, 2007 to February 1, 2008. Buck’ s results of operations for the
period from March 6, 2007 to July 6, 2007 (prior to the Merger on July 6, 2007) are also
included in the consolidated financial statements for the 2007 Successor period described above,
as a result of certain derivative financial instruments entered into by Buck prior to the Merger.
Other than these financial instruments, Buck had no assets, liabilities, or operations prior to the
Merger. The fiscal years presented from 2004 to 2006 reflect the Predecessor.
Due to the significance of the Merger and related transactions that occurred in 2007, the
2008 and 2007 Successor financial information is not comparable to that of the Predecessor
periods presented in the accompanying table.
The information set forth below should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by
reference to, the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Part II, Item 8
of this report and the Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations included in Part II, Item 7 of this report.
