trend-right merchandise assortment created by Steve and his design
team enabled us to deliver solid top and bottom line gains in both

business model.”
First Quarter 2011 Results
First quarter net sales totaled $165.8 million compared to
$131.6 million in the comparable period of 2010, an increase of
25.9%. Net sales from the wholesale business were $134.3 million
compared to $103.1 million in the first quarter of 2010, driven by
strong gains in both the wholesale footwear and wholesale
accessories divisions as well as the transition of the Company's
Target private label and Olsenboye footwear businesses from the
buying agency model to the wholesale model. Retail net sales grew
10.5% to $31.5 million compared to $28.5 million in the first
quarter of the prior year. Same store sales increased 12.0%
following a 13.6% increase in the prior year’s first quarter. The
Company opened three outlet stores and closed four full price
stores during the first quarter.
Gross margin was 41.7% in the first quarter of 2011 as compared
to 45.5% in the same period last year. Gross margin in the
wholesale business was 37.9% compared to 42.5% in the prior year's
first quarter, driven primarily by changes in sales mix as a result
of (i) the inclusion of the Company’s Target private label and
Olsenboye footwear businesses in the net sales line; (ii) the
strong growth of the private label accessories business and (iii)
the strong growth of the international business. Retail gross
margin increased to 58.1% from 56.7% in the comparable period of
the prior year as a result of less discounting.
Operating expenses as a percent of sales were 27.9% compared to
31.4% in the same period of the prior year, due to leverage on
higher sales.
Operating income for the first quarter increased to $27.5
million, or 16.6% of net sales, compared with operating income of
$24.9 million, or 18.9% of net sales, in the same period of
2010.
Net income for the quarter increased 16.0% to $17.9 million, or
$0.63 per diluted share, compared to $15.4 million, or $0.55 per
diluted share in the first quarter of 2010.
The Company ended the quarter with 83 retail locations,
including 4 outlets and one Internet store.
At the end of the first quarter, cash, cash equivalents, and
current and non-current marketable securities totaled $188.8
million.
