(1) 
Defined as stores operating the same period in both the current year and the prior year, comparing sales on a daily basis. Stores that are open during remodeling are included in identical-store sales (ID Sales). Internet sales are included in ID Sales if the store fulfilling the orders is included in the ID Sales calculation.

Management believes this ratio is relevant because it assists investors in evaluating Safeway’s ability to control costs.
