SECOND Quarter Highlights -- Total company sales increased 23.6% for the quarter. Apparel sales, representing 70.7% of total sales, increased 4.0%. Tuxedo rental revenues, representing 23.6% of total sales, increased 200.9%. Tuxedo rental revenues excluding After Hours increased 16.4%. -- Comparable store sales increased 1.1% for the Company's United States based stores, at the high end of the Company's guidance of flat to +1%. The increase in comparable store sales is primarily due to growth of the Company's tuxedo rental business and increases in traffic levels resulting in higher clothing sales at TMW; both of which offset traffic weakness at K&G. -- Comparable store sales increased 8.4% for the Company's Canadian based stores, ahead of the Company's guidance of +4% to +6%, and is a reflection of gains in both traffic levels and average ticket. -- Gross margin, as a percentage of sales, increased 498 basis points from 43.23% to 48.21%. This improvement is due to both organic and acquired growth in tuxedo rental revenues as well as continued gains in merchandise margins. -- Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased 253 basis points from 31.16% to 33.69%. This increase is due to the inclusion of the operations of After Hours. -- Operating Income increased 245 basis points from 12.07% to 14.52%. -- The effective tax rate for the quarter of 34.8% was lower than the Company's guidance of 37.6%. This was due to favorable developments on certain outstanding income tax matters. -- During the quarter the Company repurchased 495,900 shares for a total of $24.7 million.
