Big Lots, Inc. 2010 Annual Report Financial Highlights (Unaudited Adjusted Results) The Unaudited Adjusted Results, which include financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), are presented in order to provide additional meaningful financial information for the period presented. The Unaudited Adjusted Results should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. Our definition of adjusted results may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. While it is not possible to predict future results, our management believes that the adjusted non-GAAP information is useful for the assessment of our ongoing operations. The Unaudited Adjusted Results should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes contained in our Form 10-K for fiscal year 2010. The 2009 Unaudited Adjusted Results reflect lower selling and administrative expenses as a result of the adjustment for legal settlement agreement expense and lower operating profit as a result of the adjustment for gain on sale of real estate, both described and reconciled below ($ in thousands): Gain on Sale of Real Estate In fiscal 2009, we recognized $12,964 gain on sale of real estate ($8,163 net of tax) related to the sale of a company-owned and operated store in California which resulted in an increase of our operating profit. Legal Settlement In fiscal 2009, we recorded $4,000 expense ($2,420 net of tax) related to a legal settlement agreement which resulted in an increase of selling and administrative expenses.

Creating value for shareholders, customers, and associates. We focused on a few key initiatives as we grew our fleet of stores profitably. Dear Shareholders: It’s hard for me to believe that over five years have gone by since I first wrote to you in my role as Big Lots’ Chief Executive Officer. In that first letter, I told you that I saw my job as rather straightforward. Essentially, it was about setting priorities so that you, our shareholders, would achieve the kind of return you expect from your investment. That statement was every bit as true this past year as it was back then. Last year I said that in fiscal 2010, Big Lots would build upon the things that were working so well for us — namely, keeping our organization focused on a few key initiatives as we grew our fleet of stores profitably. I told you that Big Lots associates around the country were dedicated to delivering results and building the value of the company. I’m pleased to report that our organization delivered on those objectives and more, achieving our 4th consecutive year of record income and EPS from continuing operations. Specifically: We remain in a growth mode. We expanded our footprint with the opening of 80 new stores and now have operations in all of the 48 contiguous states. Our new store sales and profitability exceeded our plans for 2010, which validates to us that our growth strategy is working. In fact, new stores are likely the best investment we can be making right now for the future of the company.
