The Company still anticipates potentially significant volatility in its results, driven by the ongoing uncertainty related to the pandemic. The table below outlines the Company’s updated guidance for selected full-year 2021 financial data:For the Year Ending December 31, 2021 Comparable store sales 10% to 12% Total revenue $12.9 billion to $13.2 billion Gross profit as a percentage of sales 52.2% to 52.7% Operating income as a percentage of sales 21.0% to 21.4% Effective income tax rate 23.0% Diluted earnings per share (1) $29.25 to $29.45 Net cash provided by operating activities $2.6 billion to $3.1 billion Capital expenditures $450 million to $550 million Free cash flow (2) $2.0 billion to $2.3 billion (1) Weighted-average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, used in the denominator of this calculation, includes share repurchases made by the Company through the date of this release.
(2) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The table below reconciles Free cash flow guidance to Net cash provided by operating activities guidance, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:
For the Year Ending (in millions) December 31, 2021 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 2,655 to $ 3,080 Less: Capital expenditures 450 to 550 Excess tax benefit from share-based compensation payments 25 to 30 Investment in tax credit equity investments 180 to 200 Free cash flow $ 2,000 to $ 2,300 Non-GAAP Information
This release contains certain financial information not derived in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These items include adjusted debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and rent (“EBITDAR”) and free cash flow. The Company does not, nor does it suggest investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial information. The Company believes that the presentation of adjusted debt to EBITDAR and free cash flow provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company’s core operations. The Company has included a reconciliation of this additional information to the most comparable GAAP measure in the table above and the selected financial information below.Earnings Conference Call Information
