The company earned $109 million, or 75 cents a share, in the year-ago quarter, boosted by a $59 million gain on a reversal of a tax reserve. The company said sales dropped mostly on lower post-paid wireless sales, and its profit was hurt by lower sales and an unfavorable merchandise mix of both wireless handset units and accessories. RadioShack said, before tax, it made a $29 million writedown on its wireless kiosk operations and took $18 million in costs on its turnaround plan. Analysts polled by Thomson First Call, on average, had expected a profit of 17 cents a share on revenue of $1.13 billion. End of Story
