[1] | During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the presentation of net sales by customer channel was adjusted to reflect changes in the classification of customer types as a result of a detailed review of customer channel definitions. There was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a result of revising the classification of customer types. As a result of this adjustment, net sales to our supermarkets channel and to our other channel for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 decreased approximately $12 million and $15 million, respectively, compared to the previously reported amounts, while net sales to the independents channel for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 increased approximately $27 million compared to the previously reported amounts.
