" Based on the considerations above, we forecast the following GAAP results for the second half of the Fiscal 2021 in comparison to the second half of Fiscal 2020:
Comparable sales increases in the mid-single digits; Gross margin improvement of approximately 50 to 70 basis points; SG&A leverage of approximately 70 to 90 basis points; and Diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.85 to $1.00, assuming an effective tax rate of approximately 26.0% and a diluted share count of approximately 16.9 million. Additionally, non-GAAP adjustments in the second half of Fiscal 2021 are not expected to be material. "
