• | On a reported basis, gross margin for the second quarter was 53.9 percent of revenues compared with 52.3 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2017, reflecting the margin benefit from revenue growth in the direct-to-consumer channel and international business, a favorable transactional impact of currency and lower product sourcing costs. |
• | Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $594 million compared with $496 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. SG&A as a percent of revenue grew 130 basis-points compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2017 primarily reflecting higher selling, incentive compensation and advertising expenses. |
• | Operating income of $77 million was up 22 percent for the second quarter compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2017 reflecting the revenue growth and higher gross margins, partially offset by higher SG&A. |

• | In the Americas, excluding favorable currency effects of $1 million, net revenues grew 11 percent reflecting higher revenues across wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels across the region. The region's operating income declined 5% as higher revenues were more than offset by planned increased direct-to-consumer and advertising expenses this quarter. |
• | In Europe, excluding favorable currency effects of $28 million, net revenues grew 19 percent reflecting continued broad-based growth across all markets, channels, and product categories, with the strongest growth in women's and tops. The region's operating income grew 53% reflecting higher revenues partially offset by direct-to-consumer and advertising investments. |
• | In Asia, excluding favorable currency effects of $6 million, net revenues grew nine percent reflecting growth in direct-to-consumer channels and wholesale across the region. The region's operating income grew 73% reflecting higher revenues and gross margins, partially offset by direct-to-consumer investments. |
