Additions made during 2014 relate to the closure and relocation of one store and to the closure and
relocation of the Texas warehouse, and usage during 2014 relates to lease payments made during the
period for closed stores. Adjustments made during 2014 include a $0.4 million favorable reserve
adjustment due to a sublease for the Sunflower administrative office and a $1.2 million favorable reserve
adjustment for one store due to settlement with the landlord. Also during 2014, the Company determined
that it should have been recording accretion expense for store closure reserves and made a correcting
entry of $0.9 million to adjust the liability for closed stores to include such accretion for prior periods. The
effect of this error on the Company’s financial statements was not material to any prior period. Store
closure and exit costs for 2013 include charges related to the closure of a former Sunflower warehouse,
and adjustments to sublease estimates for stores and facilities already closed.

Effective tax rate ...................... 38.15% 38.95% 43.91%
The effective income tax rate decreased to 38.15% in 2014 from 38.95% in 2013 as a result of
increased enhanced charitable food contribution deductions for 2014. The effective income tax rate
decreased to 38.95% in 2013 from 43.91% in 2012 as a result of increased tax credits and charitable
contributions for 2013 and the non-deductible transaction costs incurred in 2012 related to the Sunflower
Transaction.
