Revenues for the second quarter of 2014 increased 17% to $8.8 million compared with $7.5 million in second quarter of 2013 which the apparel marketer attributed to acquisition of Tony Hawk brand and continued global organic growth of the Cherokee brand.
However, SG&A expenses rose 19% to $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $4.2 million in the prior-year period. Cherokee said the hike in SG&A was due mainly to expenses related to recently acquired Tony Hawk Brand and additional marketing to support its brands.

Henry Stupp added, “We fully expect the second half will continue to show positive developments through the execution of our strategic growth plan including the identification of new brand acquisitions and organic growth geographically”. (AR)
