Consolidated Results
 
All earnings/loss figures reported throughout this news release are on a GAAP basis unless otherwise noted.
 
Fourth quarter total consolidated sales were $937.3 million, down 13.3% from the same period a year ago. For the full year, total consolidated sales were $2.8 billion, a 13.9% decrease from 2008.
 
Borders Group generated fourth quarter income from continuing operations of $59.9 million or $0.91 per share compared to income from continuing operations of $28.9 million or $0.48 per share for the same period a year ago. For the full year, the company generated a loss from continuing operations of $110.2 million or $1.83 per share compared to a loss from continuing operations of $184.7 million or $3.07 per share in 2008.  Fourth quarter and full year 2009 results were impacted favorably by a $32.4 million tax refund related to the extension of the net operating loss carryback provision.
 
Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased in the fourth quarter 2.2% from 27.1% to 24.9%. The shift from lower margin multimedia product to higher margin gifts and stationery and kids categories had a positive impact on gross margin. However, this shift did not offset the negative impact of the de-leveraging of occupancy costs as a percent of sales, which resulted from the comparable store sales decline. Gross margin was also negatively impacted by product markdowns in Waldenbooks Specialty Retail stores that closed during the quarter. For the full year, gross margin as a percent of sales decreased 1.7% from 24.3% to 22.6%.
 
SG&A as a percent of sales increased in the fourth quarter 0.7% from 20.3% to 21.0%, but declined in dollars by $22.7 million due to the company’s aggressive expense reduction initiatives, which were partially offset by de-leveraging due to negative sales trends. For the full year, SG&A as a percent of sales improved 0.4% from 25.9% to 25.5%.  In dollars, for the full year, SG&A declined $131.1 million.
 
At the end of the fourth quarter, inventory investment was $873.8 million, down $41.4 million or 4.5% from the prior year. The inventory decline was primarily attributed to the closure of Waldenbooks Specialty Retail stores.
 
Operating cash flow for the fourth quarter was $138.4 million compared to $219.2 million for the same period a year ago. For the full year, the company generated operating cash flow of $56.1 million compared to $233.6 million in 2008. The 2008 cash flow was primarily the result of significant inventory reductions that took place in the fourth quarter of that year.
 
Fourth quarter capital expenditures were $6.7 million compared to $7.9 million for the same period a year ago. For the full year, capital expenditures were $17.9 million compared to $79.9 million in 2008 as management continued to conserve capital.

Borders Group, Inc. Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
(dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
Unaudited
 
We discuss several measures of operating performance within this news release, including (i) adjusted EBITDA and (ii) debt net of cash, both of which are considered non-GAAP measures within the meaning of Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission and which are not measures of operating performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe excluding certain recurring non-operating items, as detailed in the following tables, from our financial results provides investors with a clearer perspective of the current underlying operating performance of the company, a clearer comparison to current period results and greater transparency regarding supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. We use these non-GAAP financial measures as an internal measure of business operating perfor mance, to establish operational goals, and to analyze trends.
 
 
A reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure discussed in this news release to its most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP follows below.
 
 
(i) Loss from continuing operations is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is the most comparable to adjusted EBITDA. The table below reconciles adjusted EBITDA to loss from continuing operations.
