Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On December 8, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing preliminary financial results for the quarter ended November 25, 2016.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The press release contains a non-GAAP financial measure. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the Company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation within the press release of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The non-GAAP financial measure used within the Company's press release is adjusted earnings per share, which represents earnings per share, excluding restructuring costs (benefits), and the related income tax effect.

This measure is presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends. Therefore, management believes this information is also useful for investors.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibits hereto) shall not be considered “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into future filings by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, unless the Company expressly sets forth in such future filing that such information is to be considered “filed” or incorporated by reference therein.
