¹  Includes the impact of the Act mainly in the first and fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

The sum of the quarterly per share amounts may not equal per share amounts reported for year-to-date periods.  This is due to changes in the number of weighted average shares outstanding and the effects of rounding for each period.
