The Lafuma group reported a 27.7% increase in revenues for the fiscal nine month year-to-date period to €163.6 million ($198.9 mm) compared to €128.1 million reported last year. Much of this increase is due to the acquisition of the French surf brand, Oxbow, which reported 8% organic growth for the year-to-date. Falling sales in camping furniture and at the Ober brand were said to be “weighing in on the business,” but there was organic growth in the four key
brands under the Lafuma group.

International sales, which include Lafuma’s North American subsidiary, increased 18.8% for the year-to-date to €64.5 million ($78.4 mm) compared to €54.3 million ($70.2 mm) last year.

For the fiscal third quarter, sales increased 13.5% to €47.1 million ($59.2 mm), compared to €41.5 million ($52.3 mm) last year.
