Gross margins during the fourth quarter this year were affected by year-end inventory adjustments of $28-million to reflect additional markdowns necessary to sell excess inventory and higher than estimated shrinkage as determined by the year-end inventory count.

They don't really break down what component was shrinkage. It seems like it should be explained more clearly, and is ambiguous as written.
I guess they want to take all their write downs in this year, and clean the slate for the coming quarters.
