Employees
As of February 1, 2009, we employed approximately 46,000 associates, approximately 22,000 of whom were
employed full-time. We continue to invest in education for our full and part-time associates as part of our emphasis
on customer service and providing pet care solutions. We are subject to no collective bargaining agreements and
have experienced no work stoppages. We consider our relationship with our associates to be good. Increases in the
federal and state minimum wage in recent years have not had a material effect on our business.
Financial Information by Business Segment and Geographic Data
Financial Accounting Standards Board, or “FASB,” Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or “SFAS,”
No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires that a public company
report annual and interim financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating
segments, as defined, are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Utilizing these criteria, we manage our business on the basis of one reportable operating segment.
