Edward Rosenfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We delivered solid sales and earnings results in the second quarter despite a challenging retail environment. Overall the momentum in our business remains strong, with double-digit organic sales growth in each of our wholesale footwear, wholesale accessories and retail segments supplemented by meaningful contributions from our recent acquisitions. With our diversified platform spanning multiple brands, product categories, distribution channels and geographies, we believe we are well-positioned to drive top and bottom line growth in the second half of 2012 and beyond.”
