Sam Sato, President & CEO of Duluth Holdings, notes:
“Our third-quarter results reflect continued strength in customer demand for our core product offering and strong operating performance in the face of supply chain disruptions. Despite the congestion in the transportation networks, our business was able to maneuver and generate healthy sales growth of 7.2% and net income growth of over 200%, led by significant gross profit margin improvement. We are encouraged with the holiday selling trends to date and expect to end the year strong.”
