On November 12, Intrawest Resort Holdings, Inc. filed the first draft of a form S1 with the SEC for an initial public offering. Like all first drafts, there’s some significant information missing, including the proposed price of the stock and how much they want to raise. But at 400 pages as a PDF, there’s also a lot […]
On November 26, when Quik announced that LF USA (a subsidiary of Hong Kong headquartered Li & Fung, a multinational consumer goods sourcing, logistics and distribution group) would “…design, manufacture and market children’s apparel bearing the Quiksilver and DC brand trademarks in the Americas…” I tried to ignore it. It was a short press release and, on […]
For some reason, following the November 7th sale of Mervin, Quiksilver had to file an 8K that showed Quik’s proforma financial statements as if the sale of Mervin had already occurred. To do that, Quik shows us the adjustments they have to make to represent their balance sheet as if Mervin had been sold at the […]
So I guess I’ll start by telling you what Deckers says about Sanuk. In the 10Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 they provide this Sanuk Brand Overview (page 17). I’ve highlighted the phrase I want you to pay attention to. “The Sanuk brand was founded 15 years ago, and from its origins in the Southern […]
To sum it all up, the good news is that sales for the quarter ended September 30.2013 rose 2.7% compared to the same quarter last year from $9.89 to $10.15 million and the net loss declined from $1.78 million to $302,000. The bad news continues to be the balance sheet, where the long term debt to […]
There are, to my way of thinking, three main points to be made about VF’s September 30 quarter. The first is that the Outdoor & Action Sports (OAS) segment revenues as reported rose 6.43%. Excluding a $32 million foreign exchange gain, the increase was 4.7%. Jeanswear was up 3.89% as reported and the other segments (Imagewear, Sportswear, Contemporary […]
Skullcandy’s 10Q for its September 30 quarter came out yesterday. I’ve been through it and the conference call. They are continuing to apply the tactics they’ve adopted as part of their turnaround strategy. That means, in the words of CEO Hoby Darling, “…as we go into Q4, we’re going to do the exact same things that we did […]
Thanks to an alert from a reader, and a follow-up with a journalist who wrote about their results, I was able to come up with a copy of Rip Curl’s financial statements for the year ended June 30. There’s no discussion of operations or breakdown of what’s selling and where like we’d have if they were […]
I got four pieces of information for you. If you’d prefer, you can read Billabong’s announcement which came out Monday their time. It’s the first item under “Recent News.” The most interesting, which they leave for last, is the pending sale of West 49 to YM Inc., “a leading fashion retailer with a number of highly successful […]
Kering reported its earnings for the September 30 quarter last week. We learned very little about Volcom and Electric. It’s like trying to find out what’s going on with Ride when we review Jarden’s financials or Reef when we look at VF’s. They just aren’t big enough to require much disclosure. What I do believe is when there’s good […]
