In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company recorded restructuring and impairment charges of $23.0 million, which was slightly below previously announced estimates.

Excluding the effect of these charges in both years, fourth quarter fiscal 2004 earnings per share would have increased 36% to $0.75 compared to $0.55 in last year's fourth quarter.
