BARNES & NOBLE, INC. (NYSE:BKS) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Item 2.02.

On June 22, 2017, Barnes Noble, Inc. (the Company) issued a press
release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter
and full year ended April 29, 2017 (the Press Release). A copy of
the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto
pertaining to the Companys financial results shall not be deemed
filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by
reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific
reference in such filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the Companys consolidated financial statements
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), in the Press Release attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.1, the Company uses the non-GAAP financial measure of
EBITDA (defined by the Company as earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization).

The Companys management reviews this non-GAAP measure internally
to evaluate the Companys performance and manage its operations.
The Company believes that the inclusion of EBITDA results provide
investors useful and important information regarding the Companys
operating results. The non-GAAP measure included in the Press
Release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 has been reconciled to
the comparable GAAP measure as required under SEC rules regarding
the use of non-GAAP financial measures. The Company urges
investors to carefully review the GAAP financial information
included as part of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K,
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and quarterly earnings releases.
