However, excluding items affecting comparability, diluted EPS declined$0.01 , primarily due to the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates on international royalty revenues and lower operating income from domestic store operations, offset in part by improvements in operating performance in the Company's international and supply chain business units. (See the Items Affecting Comparability section and the Comments on Regulation G section.) -- Global Retail Sales were down 4.7% in the second quarter, or up 3.8% when excluding the impact of foreign currency.

Items Affecting Comparability
The Company's reported financial results for the second quarter and first two quarters of 2009 are not comparable to the reported financial results for the prior year comparable periods. The table below presents certain items that affect comparability between our 2009 and 2008 financial results.

(in thousands) First Two Quarters of 2009 ---------------- Net cash provided by operating activities (as reported)$29,138 Capital expenditures (as reported) (9,407) ------- Free cash flow$19,731 ======= Comments on Regulation G
In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G due to items affecting comparability between fiscal quarters. Additionally, the Company has included metrics such as global retail sales and same store sales growth, which are commonly used in the quick-service restaurant industry and are important to understanding Company performance.
The Company uses "Diluted EPS, as adjusted," which is calculated as reported Diluted EPS adjusted for the items that affect comparability to the prior year periods discussed above. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is Diluted EPS. The Company's management believes that the Diluted EPS, as adjusted measure is important and useful to investors and other interested persons and that such persons benefit from having a consistent basis for comparison between reporting periods.
The Company uses "Global retail sales" to refer to total worldwide retail sales at Company-owned and franchise stores. Management believes global retail sales information is useful in analyzing revenues, because franchisees pay royalties that are based on a percentage of franchise retail sales. Management reviews comparable industry global retail sales information to assess business trends and to track the growth of the Domino's Pizza brand. In addition, domestic supply chain revenues are directly impacted by changes in domestic franchise retail sales. Retail sales for franchise stores are reported to the Company by its franchisees and are not included in Company revenues.
The Company uses "Same store sales growth," calculated by including only sales from stores that also had sales in the comparable period of the prior year. International same store sales growth is calculated similarly to domestic same store sales growth. Changes in international same store sales are reported on a constant dollar basis, which reflects changes in international local currency sales.
The Company uses "Free cash flow," calculated as cash flows from operations less capital expenditures, both as reported. The Company's management believes that the free cash flow measure is important to investors and other interested persons and that such persons benefit from having a measure which communicates how much cash flows are available for working capital needs or to be used for repurchasing debt, making acquisitions, repurchasing shares or similar uses of cash.
