Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation (Unaudited) To provide additional transparency, the Company has presented the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted diluted earnings per share for comparing its operating performance for the three months ended July 31, 2020, with the respective period ended August 2, 2019.

As a result of this review and related actions, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recognized $10 million of pre-tax operating costs related to remaining inventory write-downs and store closing costs (Canada restructuring) Eiscal 2019. Impacts During fiscal 2019, the Company recognized financial impacts from the following discrete item, not contemplated in the Company's Business Outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2019: Prior to the beginning of fiscal 2019, the Company announced its intention to exit its Mexico retail operations and had planned to sell the operating business. During the three months ended August 2, 2019, the Company recognized a net loss of S12 million in pre-tax operating losses associated with the exit and ongoing wind-down of the Mexico retail operations (Mexico adjustments) Adjusted diluted carings per share should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful indicator of the Company's diluted camnings per share as prepared in accordance with GAAP.
