Tom Kirk
Good morning.
Bryan Sekino - Barclays Capital
Good morning. Just I want to see if you guys could give us a couple of housekeeping details here. As far as the impact from leap year and I guess the poor weather, do you guys have an indication in terms of what that did for your same-store number?
George McHenry
Well, the extra day from leap year last year would have given us about 1.2% in additional sales. That will be roughly what the impact should be for leap year. So a little more nebulous to try to find a value to the weather winter, clearly were some sever weather in Midwest in particular. And we did some studies and determine that roughly half of this is where impacted at one point or other but whether that was more sever than the prior year is really hard to tell. So we are not assigning any value to that in numbers.
Bryan Sekino - Barclays Capital
Okay. And then did you give a bad debt number for the quarter?
George McHenry
Bad debt expense was at 2.2%.
Bryan Sekino - Barclays Capital
Okay.
George McHenry
So, it’s tracking to historic norms.
Bryan Sekino - Barclays Capital
Right. And then George, I think, you said that your SG&A, did you say that was up about 1.2% year-over-year?
George McHenry
No, it was up in dollar, but not as a percent.
Bryan Sekino - Barclays Capital
Okay.
George McHenry
Our SG&A other than labor was from margin standpoint at the same level as the prior year and that's with a higher comparable competition accrual.
Bryan Sekino - Barclays Capital
I got you, but that's not something that we are going to see going forward with your new presentation in terms of just breaking out SG&A on.
George McHenry
It's correct.
Bryan Sekino - Barclays Capital
Okay.
George McHenry
New presentation is going to concentrate on our personnel cost and then all other SG&A will be in one category.
Bryan Sekino - Barclays Capital
Okay. Great, and then with your guidance for revenue the 6.7% to 8.1% growth, can you kind of breakout what portion of that relates the kind of same-store. And what relates to kind of acquisitions that you made in 2008 that are not included in the year-over-year same store number.
