This compares favorably with a one-cent loss in the prior-year quarter. Results for the prior-year quarter included $18.2 million restructuring and impairment charges. Excluding these charges, earnings would have been 21 cents per share. Net income for the reported quarter came in at $33.3 million, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Despite the sluggish economic environment, Waddell &#38; Reed witnessed an improvement in its sales volume across all revenue channels.
