Since we began our turnaround efforts, we have made great strides in enhancing our product assortments, repositioning and strengthening our wholesale channel partnerships and elevating our focus on the direct-to-consumer channel, all of which have generated highly favorable response as reflected in our first quarter results. With this enhanced capital structure in place, we have even greater financial flexibility to continue to execute on our strategic initiatives and achieve our long term growth objectives. We look forward to sharing more with you on our earnings call next month."
