Year-to-date, the impact from discontinued operations was a net loss of $19.9 million, or $.17 per share. Considering the anticipated gain on assets yet to be sold throughout the remainder of the year, the projected impact from discontinued operations for the full year is an estimated loss of $.07 per share.
"The success of our brand portfolio management strategy is evidenced by another record quarter. Our core businesses, which remain strong and healthy, and the brands we have acquired over the last several years continue to drive tremendous shareholder value."
"Most importantly, we continue to see substantial opportunities for growth, particularly across our lifestyle brands," said Mackey J. McDonald, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
"Our two most recent acquisitions, the Eagle Creek and Majestic businesses, are performing very well, and we remain confident in our ability to successfully identify, acquire and integrate additional brands with strong growth potential."
