This impacted our wholesale reorder opportunities and contributed to our sales shortfall relative to expectations. These headwinds were partially offset by a 2.9% increase in global direct-to-consumer comparable store sales, which is a positive indication that consumers are responding favorably to our new product line and enhanced marketing efforts." Going forward, the company expects revenue of $245.0 - $255.0 million for the third quarter, which is below the analysts' estimation of 289.52 million. For the full year, the company sees revenue to be down in the low single-digit.
