Comments of Management
Mr. David Weissman, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Business Officer – "We are very pleased from the measures taken by Dor Alon for dealing with the issues of reducing the marketing margin and improving the operating profit. The real estate company continues to grow and currently is in stages of development and betterment of real estate investment properties. Mega embodies strength with over 200 branches deployed nationally in cities and outside cities and a strong equity. In the Supermarkets segment we reached conclusions to be specified later on.
In the Non food segment, we are in a changing process that is led by the new CEO and chairman".
Regarding the Supermarket segment Mr. Zeev Vurembrand, CEO, said: "The Supermarkets segment presents a material improvement in the operating profit compared to the business results during the two elapsing quarters. The improvement of the business results derives from implementing the efficacy measures taken in the first quarter and from adjusting the operating expense structure to the changing market.
In recent months the Company formulated a comprehensive plan on the deployment of braches and the brand structure of the Supermarkets segment where the Company contemplates to handle 30 branches individually in two activity channels – exit from 10 branches on one hand and formulating a new Heavy Discount chain in the remaining branches, on the other hand.
The Company sold the operations of 9 branches and concluded a rental agreement in an additional branch in a total area of 23,000 sq.m. This maneuver will be completed until the end of 2012.
The second section of this plan is launching a chain in Heavy Discount format under a new name and in national deployment of 20 branches. This chain shall be launched until the end of the year, shall lead the Heavy Discount segment in Israel and shall be operated under a new operating model alongside the Mega chains.

2Use of financial measures that are not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
EBITDA is a measure that is not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Non-GAAP) and is defined as income before financial income (expenses) net, other gains (losses) net, changes in fair value of investment property, taxes, depreciation and amortization. It is an accepted ratio in the retail industry. It is presented as an additional performance measure, since it enables comparisons of operating performances between periods and companies while neutralizing potential differences resulting from changes in capital structures, taxes, age of property and equipment and its related depreciation expenses. EBITDA, however, should not be related to as a single measure or as an alternative to operating income, another performance indicator and to cash flow information, which are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as indicators of profit or liquidity. EBITDA does not take the costs of servicing debt and other liabilities into account, including capital expenditures and therefore it does not necessarily indicate the amounts that may be available to the use of the company and in addition EBITDA should not be compared to other indicators with similar names reported by other companies because of differences in the calculation of these indicators. See the reconciliation between our net income and EBITDA which is presented in this press release.
