Victor Herrero, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Overall, our third quarter adjusted operating profit finished within our expectations, and adjusted earnings per share ended above the high-end of our guidance. We continue to see good momentum in Europe and Asia, where our revenues were up 19% and 17%, respectively, mainly driven by new store openings, wholesale growth and positive comp sales. We were also thrilled with the operating margin expansion in the Americas Retail despite a sales decline. This is the result of our profit improvement plan which included tight markdown management, higher IMUs, negotiated rent reductions and unprofitable store closures.”
