VF Corporation announced record results for the second quarter of 2011.
Revenues rose 15% to $1,840.1 million from $1,594.1 million in 2010. All VF divisions achieved double-digit revenue increases in the quarter, with the strongest growth in Outdoor & Action Sports, where revenues increased 23%. Jeanswear and Sportswear revenues each grew by 10%, Imagewear revenues rose 16%, and Contemporary Brands revenues were up 11%.
Growth in both net income and earnings per share of 17% was stronger than anticipated.
“With double-digit revenue growth in all coalitions, and in both our international and direct-to-consumer businesses, VF is firing on all cylinders,” said Eric Wiseman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our marketing investments continue to fuel outstanding growth, our brands are gaining momentum – and we are confident that this momentum is sustainable.” He continued, “The signing of a definitive merger agreement between VF and The Timberland Company on June 12th marks a transformational acquisition for VF, and will result in a $10 billion apparel and footwear powerhouse anchored in outdoor and action sports. We look forward to completing the acquisition this quarter.”
