[1] Quarterly totals may not foot across due to rounding.
[2] Comparable sales include sales from stores that have been open at least one full year at the beginning of the year. We also include sales from our online channels (Nordstrom.com, Nordstromrack.com and HauteLook) in comparable sales because of the integration with our stores.
[3] Gross profit is calculated as net sales less cost of sales and related buying and occupancy costs (for all segments).
