Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $116.1 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $6.19, for fiscal 2015. This compares to $89.6 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $4.73, for fiscal 2014. The increase in adjusted net income was primarily due to a significant decline in cash interest expense and higher gross profit, including the positive effect of the 53rd calendar week in fiscal 2015. The increase was partially offset by higher income taxes and an increase in general and administrative expenses.
