“This is truly an exciting time for our company as we continue to execute our turnaround. For this fiscal year, we are planning for positive comps in all regions and expecting every business segment to be profitable. Beyond the current year, we still have a lot of growth opportunities in Europe and Asia; the results in the Americas retail business have continued to show improvement; and we see more opportunities to reduce costs, particularly in logistics. More than ever, we remain focused on executing our strategic initiatives which are the pillars of our revenue and profit growth and our 7.5 per cent operating margin goal,” added Herrero.

The company’s expectations for the fourth quarter ending February 2, 2019 is to have consolidated net revenue increase between 4-6 per cent and increase of 10-10.5 per cent for entire FY2019 in terms of US dollars. (PC)
