For the nine months ended October 29, 2011, we improved EBITDA margin by 10 basis points, which increased to 7.8%, as compared to 7.7% for the same period last year. We improved our EBITDA margin because of our ability to leverage selling, general and administrative expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended October 29, 2011, was $193.1 million, an increase of $29.5 million, or 18.0%, from $163.6 million for the nine months ended October 30, 2010. The increase was attributable to the new Rafaella business, which accounted for approximately $12.9 million of the increase. Other increases were attributable to distribution costs, due to our increase in sales and increases in advertising and marketing expenditures.

The cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended October 30, 2010 is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable of $21.9 million and a decrease in other current assets and prepaid income taxes of $6.9 million; offset by an increase of $16.1 million in inventory, the reduction of account payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the amount of $10.4 million and the decrease of unearned revenues and other liabilities of $3.8 million.
