We achieved these results in the face of what has become a challenging retail environment, demonstrating the unique benefits of our business model where contractually guaranteed revenue, no inventory risk and a diverse portfolio provide us with a much greater degree of resilience.
We are energized by several organic growth opportunities, including an exciting new joint venture in China, incredible growth opportunities for our three Wal-Mart brands, new home deals for Royal Velvet and Cannon, and many others.
