For fiscal year 2018, the company expects total revenues in the range of US $ 870 million to US $ 880 million.
Oscar Feldenkreis, Chief Executive Officer and President, Perry Ellis commented, “Fiscal 2017 saw solid progress on our strategic plan, which led to sales growth in our core global brands, expansion in gross margin and earnings in line with guidance. While US $ 12 million in revenues were held back in the fourth quarter as certain retail partners lowered shipments in a challenging retail environment, the strength of our sell through rates enabled us to recapture the majority of these sales shipments at the start of fiscal 2018. We believe this is a testament to the power of our lifestyle brands, the strength of our design and marketing, and the disciplined execution of our strategy by our team.”
