Fran Horowitz, Chief Executive Officer, commented,
The upward trend has persisted during the first quarter. The back-to-school season in the United States has started off well. The reaction to the relaunch of the Gilly Hicks brand, accompanying products, and improved retail experiences has been overwhelmingly favorable. Since the introduction of their newest brand, Social Tourist, three months ago, they’ve been delighted about the lessons they’ve learned and its outcomes. Looking ahead, they plan to stay on the offensive and are optimistic that the proactive actions they’ve made to develop their operational model and cost structure, as well as the repositioned brand, will continue to pay dividends in the short and long term.
