First Quarter 2013 Highlights
- Record revenue of $311.7 million
- Gross Margin of 53.2 percent
- Net income of $29.0 million
- Earnings per diluted share of $0.33
Our record revenue performance in the first quarter of 2013 demonstrates the benefit of innovative products, the success of our multi channel strategy and the global reach of our business. During the quarter we saw strong sell-in of our spring and summer line into our wholesale accounts globally and solid initial sell-through in our own retail channel, all of which contributed to a 17 percent constant currency revenue growth during the quarter, said John McCarvel, President and Chief Executive Officer. As we look into the core of the spring summer selling season, we are confident that our product line-up, including a combination of new collections and core products will continue to drive revenues forward.
The Asia Pacific segment of our business was a key component of our success during the quarter. While weather did impact consumers in North America and Europe, and Europe also dealt with ongoing macro-economic issues, we did see early signs of recovery in Japan.

Margins
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2013 increased 14.5 percent to $165.8 million, or 53.2 percent as a percentage of sales, compared with $144.8 million, or 53.3 percent as a percentage of sales in the prior year period. Selling, General, & Administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 22.9 percent to $128.2 million compared with $104.3 million a year ago. As a percentage of sales, SG&A increased to 41.1 percent from 38.4 percent compared with the first quarter of 2012. The increase in SG&A is largely attributable to our year-over-year increase in retail stores and partially attributable to our previously announced increase in marketing spending in 2013, which totaled approximately $2.7 million during the quarter.
