Quoting Management: “We experienced better than expected sales trends in several areas of our business during the second quarter,” stated Angel Martinez, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors. “Sell-through of the UGG brand in our direct to consumer channel was higher than planned; highlighted by a 43.9% increase in eCommerce sales year over year and a 6.8% same store sales increase. Along with record domestic wholesale sales for the UGG and Teva brands and the addition of the Sanuk brand, we were able to more than offset declines in our European wholesale and distributor divisions and drive overall second quarter sales above our initial projections.”
