ITEM 9.                                                     REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

 

Copies of slide presentations which will be presented by us at the Lehman Brothers Global Services Conference on June 4, 2003 at 2:25 PM (ET), and generally to members of the financial and investment community from time to time (the “Investor Presentation”), are attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.1 and are also available on Labor Ready’s website, www.laborready.com .  The Investor Presentation is being furnished pursuant to Regulation FD and Item 9 of  Form 8-K.

 

The Investor Presentation contains certain information relating to EBITDA.  As used in the Investor Presentation, EBITDA means income from operations excluding depreciation and amortization.  EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  EBITDA, as used by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
