The Company also reported earnings from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011, of $54.5 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $29.1 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2010. Fiscal 2011 earnings reflected after-tax charges of $0.19 per diluted share, including asset impairments, purchase price accounting adjustments, network intrusion-related expenses, flood loss and other legal matters, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. Fiscal 2010 earnings reflected after-tax charges of $0.56 per diluted share, including asset impairments, loss on early retirement of debt and tax rate adjustments, partially offset by a gain related to other legal matters. In addition, Fiscal 2010 reflected additional interest expense due to the adoption in the first quarter of Fiscal 2010 of FSP APB 14-1, a new accounting standard that applied to the Company's convertible debt.

Adjusted for the listed items in both years, earnings from continuing operations were $59.0 million, or $2.48 per diluted share, for Fiscal 2011, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $43.1 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, for Fiscal 2010. For consistency with previously announced earnings expectations, which did not reflect the listed items, the Company believes that disclosure of earnings from continuing operations adjusted for those items will be useful to investors. A reconciliation of the adjusted financial measures to their corresponding measures as reported pursuant to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is included in Schedule B to this press release. Net sales for Fiscal 2011 increased 13.7% to $1.79 billion from $1.57 billion in Fiscal 2010.
