Commenting on the results, Mr. Ilia Lekach, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "They view our attainment of the $100 million sales level as a first step to significantly increase revenues for fiscal 2006.
The success of our Paris Hilton fragrance, the continued growth of our core Perry Ellis brand, and the recent addition of the XOXO brand have provided a solid platform for our new GUESS? fragrance launch in July and the launch of our Maria Sharapova fragrance scheduled for September.
Our penetration into the luxury goods market for watches, handbags and other small leather accessories under the Paris Hilton name, scheduled to be introduced during the last two quarters of our fiscal year, are projected to add to this sales growth."
Mr. Lekach added, "This past year, they also increased our operating income to 17% of sales compared to 13% for the prior year. This improved operating performance resulted in earnings per share exceeding analysts' expectations. I appreciate and congratulate all who contributed to these results.
