in. During the third quarter, we were fiercely focused on sales
execution and it showed in our results. We continue to build this
business back up in a sustainable way that makes sense for the long-term
future of this brand. We remain cautiously optimistic and hyper-focused
on executing our strategy going into the fourth quarter and 2015.”
