NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included
herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
adjustments) which are necessary for the fair statement of results for the
interim period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the fiscal 2005 Form 10-K Annual Report of the
Company.
2. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results for the
three months ended April 1, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the entire 2006 fiscal year.
3. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
4. In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 151, "Inventory Costs,"
(SFAS 151) effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS
151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory
Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility
expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. SFAS 151 requires
that those items be recognized as current period charges and requires that
allocation of fixed production overhead to the cost of conversion be based
on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of SFAS
151 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
5. In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 123, "Share-Based Payment," (SFAS 123(R)) effective
for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS 123(R) requires all
stock-based compensation awards to be recorded at fair value as an expense
in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The adoption of SFAS
123(R) had no effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
6. In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections," (SFAS 154) effective
for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005. SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion 20 and
SFAS 3. Among other changes, SFAS 154 requires retrospective application
to prior periods' financial statements for changes in accounting
principle, unless it is impractical to determine either the
period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154
also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion
method for long-lived non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. The
adoption of SFAS 154 will only affect the Company's financial condition
or results of operations if it has such changes or corrections of errors in
the future.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
Overview
--------
The Company is primarily engaged in the retail food industry, operating
stores in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. As of April
1, 2006, the Company operated 875 supermarkets, five convenience stores and
seven liquor stores. In addition, the Company has a majority position in the
Crispers restaurant chain. As of April 1, 2006, Crispers operated 34
restaurants, all located in Florida.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments
totaled approximately $2,451.7 million as of April 1, 2006, compared to $2,029.1
million as of December 31, 2005.
Net cash provided by operating activities
-----------------------------------------
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $612.5
million for the three months ended April 1, 2006, as compared with $512.3
million for the three months ended March 26, 2005. As a result of hurricane
Wilma that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company received an
extension on its Federal income tax payment due December 15, 2005 until February
28, 2006. The delay in this tax payment decreased net cash provided by operating
activities by $95.0 million during the three months ended April 1, 2006. During
2004, the Company experienced an unprecedented four major hurricanes in six
weeks. As a result, the Company received an extension on its Federal income tax
payments due September 15, 2004 and December 15, 2004 until December 30, 2004.
The delay in these tax payments decreased net cash provided by operating
activities by $190.0 million during the three months ended March 26, 2005. Any
net cash in excess of the amount needed for current operations is invested in
short-term and long-term investments.
Net cash used in investing activities
-------------------------------------
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $332.6 million
for the three months ended April 1, 2006, as compared with $212.2 million for
the three months ended March 26, 2005. The primary use of net cash in investing
activities was funding capital expenditures and purchasing investments. During
the three months ended April 1, 2006, capital expenditures totaled approximately
$96.6 million. These expenditures were incurred in connection with the opening
of two new supermarkets (two supermarkets also closed) and remodeling seven
supermarkets. Expenditures were also incurred in the expansion of warehouses and
new or enhanced information technology applications. During the three months
ended March 26, 2005, capital expenditures totaled approximately $69.7 million.
These expenditures were primarily incurred in connection with the opening of one
net new supermarket (seven new supermarkets opened and six supermarkets closed)
and remodeling 11 supermarkets. Significant expenditures were also incurred in
the expansion of warehouses and new or enhanced information technology
applications.
Capital expenditure projection
------------------------------
Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2006, primarily consisting of
new supermarkets, remodeling and expanding certain existing supermarkets,
expansion of warehouses, installation of generators at hurricane prone
locations, and new or enhanced information technology applications, are expected
to be approximately $378.4 million. This capital program is subject to
continuing change and review. In the normal course of operations, the Company
replaces supermarkets and closes supermarkets that are not meeting performance
expectations. The impact of future supermarket closings is not expected to be
material.
6
Net cash used in financing activities
-------------------------------------
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $102.4 million
for the three months ended April 1, 2006, as compared with $72.0 million for the
three months ended March 26, 2005. The primary use of net cash in financing
activities was funding net common stock repurchases. The Company currently
repurchases common stock at the stockholders' request in accordance with the
terms of the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 401(k) Plan, Employee Stock
Ownership Plan and Non-Employee Directors Stock Purchase Plan. Net common stock
repurchases totaled approximately $102.3 million for the three months ended
April 1, 2006, as compared with $71.9 million for the three months ended March
26, 2005. The amount of common stock offered to the Company for repurchase is
not within the control of the Company, but is at the discretion of the
stockholders. The Company expects to continue to repurchase its common stock, as
offered by its stockholders from time to time, at its then currently appraised
value for amounts similar to those in prior years. However, such purchases are
not required and the Company retains the right to discontinue them at any time.
Dividends
---------
On March 15, 2006, the Company declared an annual cash dividend on its
common stock of $1.00 per share or approximately $171.3 million, payable on June
1, 2006, to stockholders of record as of the close of business April 21, 2006.
In 2005, the Company paid an annual cash dividend on its common stock of $121.9
million or $.70 per share.
Cash requirements
-----------------
In 2006, the cash requirements for current operations, capital
expenditures and common stock repurchases are expected to be financed by
internally generated funds or liquid assets. Based on the Company's financial
position, it is expected that short-term and long-term borrowings would be
readily available to support the Company's liquidity requirements if needed.
Results of Operations
---------------------
Sales
-----
Sales for the three months ended April 1, 2006, were $5.5 billion as
compared with $5.1 billion for the three months ended March 26, 2005, an
increase of $368.0 million or a 7.2% increase. The Company estimates that its
sales increased approximately $113.4 million or 2.2% from net new supermarkets
and approximately $254.6 million or 5.0% in comparable store sales (supermarkets
open for the same weeks in both periods, including replacement supermarkets)
since the beginning of the first quarter of 2005. Additionally, sales for the
first quarter of 2006 excluded approximately $62.0 million of sales or 1.2% due
to the later Easter holiday which was in the second quarter of 2006.
Gross profit
------------
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was approximately 27.2% for the
three months ended April 1, 2006 and March 26, 2005.
Operating and administrative expenses
-------------------------------------
Operating and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were
approximately 20.4% for the three months ended April 1, 2006 and March 26, 2005.
Payroll and worker's compensation costs decreased as a percentage of sales while
other operating expenses increased as a percentage of sales during the three
months ended April 1, 2006.
Investment income, net
----------------------
Investment income, net was approximately $26.4 million and $16.1 million
for the three months ended April 1, 2006 and March 26, 2005, respectively. The
increase in investment income, net was primarily due to higher investment
balances, as well as higher interest rates during the three months ended April
1, 2006.
7
Income taxes
------------
The effective income tax rates were approximately 35.8% and 36.9% for
the three months ended April 1, 2006 and March 26, 2005, respectively. The
effective income tax rates differ from the expected U.S. Federal statutory rate
of 35.0% in both periods due to the impact of state income taxes, partially
offset by the Federal benefit of state income taxes, tax exempt interest and
dividends paid to ESOP participants.
Net earnings
------------
Net earnings were $288.4 million or $1.70 per share and $259.1 million
or $1.50 per share for the three months ended April 1, 2006 and March 26, 2005,
respectively.
Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------
From time to time, certain information provided by the Company,
including written or oral statements made by its representatives, may contain
forward-looking information as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Forward-looking information includes statements about the future
performance of the Company, which is based on management's assumptions and
beliefs in light of the information currently available to them. When used, the
words "plan," "estimate," "project," "intend," "believe" and other similar
expressions, as they relate to the Company, are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to
uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those statements including, but not limited to: competitive
practices and pricing in the food and drug industries generally and particularly
in the Company's principal markets; results of programs to control or reduce
costs, improve buying practices and control shrink; results of programs to
increase sales, including private-label sales, improve perishable departments
and improve pricing and promotional efforts; changes in the general economy;
changes in consumer spending; changes in population, employment and job growth
in the Company's principal markets; and other factors affecting the Company's
business in or beyond the Company's control. These factors include changes in
the rate of inflation, changes in state and Federal legislation or regulation,
adverse determinations with respect to litigation or other claims, ability to
recruit and retain employees, increases in operating costs including, but not
limited to, labor costs, credit card fees and utility costs, particularly
electric utility costs, ability to construct new supermarkets or complete
remodels as rapidly as planned and stability of product costs. Other factors and
assumptions not identified above could also cause the actual results to differ
materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The Company
assumes no obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other
speculative purposes, nor does it utilize leveraged financial instruments. The
Company does not consider to be material the potential losses in future
earnings, fair values and cash flows from reasonably possible near-term changes
in interest rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
----------------------------------
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the
Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to
material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated
subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic Securities and
Exchange Commission filings. There have been no changes in the Company's
internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 1,
2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
----------------------------
As reported in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2005, the Company is a party in various legal claims and actions considered in

resolution of these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

(1) Common stock is made available for sale only to the Company's
current employees through the Company's Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (ESPP) and 401(k) Plan. In addition, common stock is made
available under the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Common
stock is also made available for sale to members of the Company's
Board of Directors through the Non-Employee Directors Stock
Purchase Plan (Directors Plan). The Company currently repurchases
common stock subject to certain terms and conditions. The ESPP,
401(k) Plan, ESOP and Directors Plan each contain provisions
prohibiting any transfer for value without the owner first
offering the common stock to the Company.
The Company's common stock is not traded on any public stock
exchange. The amount of common stock offered to the Company for
repurchase is not within the control of the Company, but is at the
discretion of the stockholders. The Company does not believe that
these repurchases of its common stock are within the scope of a
publicly announced plan or program (although the terms of the
plans discussed above have been communicated to the participants).
Thus, the Company does not believe that it has made any
repurchases during the three months ended April 1, 2006 required
to be disclosed in the last two columns of the table.
