Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On November 24, 2015, Chico’s FAS, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its third quarter and year-to-date earnings for the period ended October 31, 2015. A copy of the release issued on November 24, 2015 is attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01 Other Events. 

On November 24, 2015, the Company elected to disclose a reconciliation of selected consolidated financial data on a GAAP basis to selected consolidated financial data on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, when excluding Boston Proper for each of the thirteen weeks ending May 2, 2105, August 1, 2015, October 31, 2015 and the year-to-date period ending October 31, 2015. Management believes that certain non-GAAP results, which exclude results from non-continuing operations, may provide a more meaningful measure on which to compare the Company’s results of operations between periods. A copy of the selected financial data is attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.
