Included in last year's third quarter results was a $48.1 million pre-tax ($30.3 million after-tax) charge primarily reflecting the reduced gross margin on estimated future returns recorded in the adjustment to the sales returns reserve noted above. Excluding this adjustment, last year's third quarter net income would have been $254.3 million, or $.56 per diluted share.
Net income for the first thirty-six weeks of fiscal 2008 was $884.9 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, compared to net income for the first thirty-six weeks of fiscal 2007 of $710.4 million, or $1.54 per diluted share.
Excluding the sales return reserve adjustments outlined above, as well as two additional non-recurring items recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, which in total aggregated to $132.5 million pre-tax ($83.4 million after-tax), net income for the first thirty-six weeks of fiscal 2007 would have been $793.8 million or $1.72 per diluted share.
