increased 18% for those same periods. Excluding the newly added Asia/Pacific division, overall Fall bookings increased 11% over the previous year.

     Mr. McKnight continued, “Our strong bookings trend for fall, despite a generally challenging market environment, gives us comfort with our forecasts for the remainder of the year. We believe that it reflects the compelling nature of our lifestyle brand, the timeliness of our product designs, and the effectiveness of our global marketing activities.”

     Consolidated inventories increased 58% to $120.8 million at April 30, 2003 from $76.3 million at April 30, 2002. Consolidated trade accounts receivable increased 32% to $227.0 million at April 30, 2003 from $171.7 million at April 30, 2002. Inventory growth was 49% on a constant dollar basis. Inventories in the Americas and Europe grew 36% on a constant dollar basis with the new Asia/Pacific division accounting for the balance of the growth. Accounts receivable grew more slowly than sales as average days sales outstanding decreased about five days.

     Bernard Mariette, President of Quiksilver Inc., commented, “After a series of successful mergers and acquisitions over the past year, our main focus is to now further harmonize the various aspects of our operating platform in order to unlock additional synergies, efficiencies and incremental growth opportunities. We now have the right pieces in place and a world-class management team to execute our long-term strategy. We remain committed to maximizing our leadership position around the globe.”

     Mr. McKnight concluded, “Our consistent performance is the result of prudent planning and effective execution. It also underscores the strength of our business model and the validity of our multi-brand, multi-channel operating strategy. We are becoming, on many levels, a truly global lifestyle company, and we are dedicated to capitalizing on the many opportunities this posture has created for our company.”
