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 29, 2010, January 30, 2009, February 1, 2008 and July 6, 2007, and balance sheet data as of
January 29, 2010 and January 30, 2009 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 2, 2007 and February 3, 2006
and balance sheet data as of February 1, 2008, February 2, 2007 and February 3, 2006 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. (‘‘BAC’’),
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.
BAC’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 BAC prior to the
Merger. Other than these financial instruments, BAC had no assets, liabilities, or operations prior to
the Merger. The 2006 and 2005 fiscal years presented reflect the Predecessor.
Due to the significance of the Merger and related transactions that occurred in 2007, the 2009,
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.
