Steven Nichols, Chairman of the Board and President, stated, "The highlights for this quarter were continued strong international operations, particularly in Europe, and better-than-expected domestic at-once sales. They are also on schedule for the launch of L.A.M.B. footwear this month in high-end boutiques and better department stores and have sustained momentum in their Classics with important domestic and international customers.
While company is pleased with the record second quarter results, the magnitude of the year-over-year increase was enhanced by the easier comparison due to the implementation of our direct delivery shipping program to customers in the second quarter of 2004 that moved about $10 million of sales from the second quarter to the third quarter of 2004. Conversely this situation makes the current third quarter comparison to the prior year more difficult."
