^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 favorably impacted current period net sales comparisons by approximately $45 million. 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. 

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

^6.      

During the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $207.32 per share, for a total cost of $113.6 million, of which $5.0 million was paid subsequent to the first fiscal quarter. The Company has $665.9 million remaining under its authorization as of May 4, 2024.

^7. 

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