^1.

Column may not recalculate due to rounding.

^2.

Due to the 53^rd week in fiscal 2023, there is a one-week shift in the fiscal 2024 calendar compared to the prior year, which unfavorably impacted net sales comparisons for the third quarter by approximately $105 million, or approximately $0.35 per diluted share, and favorably impacted the year-to-date period by approximately $35 million, or approximately $0.10 per diluted share. Comparable sales for fiscal 2024 are calculated by shifting the prior year period by one week to compare similar calendar weeks.

^3.

Beginning in fiscal 2024, we revised our method for calculating comparable sales to include GameChanger revenue. Prior year information has been revised to reflect this change for comparability purposes. See additional details as furnished in Exhibit 99.2 of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2024.

^4.

Also referred to by management as earnings before income taxes ("EBT").

^5.

In the fiscal 2024 period, there were no non-GAAP adjustments to reported EBT margin, net income or earnings per diluted share. The fiscal 2023 period reflects non-GAAP adjustments for charges from the Company's business optimization, which was completed in 2023 to better align its talent, organization design and spending in support of its most critical strategies. For additional information, see GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations included in tables later in the release under the heading "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations."

^6.

The Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility in 2024 and 2023.

^7.

During the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.8 million shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $203.98 per share, for a total cost of $170.3 million. The Company has $609.3 million remaining under its authorization as of November 2, 2024.

^8.

The Company declared and paid quarterly dividends of $1.10 per share in fiscal 2024 and $1.00 per share in fiscal 2023.

Earnings per diluted share

●        $13.65 to 13.95

•         Based on approximately 83 million diluted shares outstanding
