“Fiscal 2015 was a very positive year for Cherokee Global Brands during which we successfully executed against our long-term business strategy by growing both organically and through acquisitions.  Revenues for the full year improved 22% and EPS increased nearly 60% on a year-over-year basis.  In addition, we continued to carefully manage our expenses, generating improved operating and EBITDA leverage.”

Mr. Stupp continued, “International growth of the Cherokee brand is where we saw the majority of our organic growth in Fiscal 2015.  We were able to successfully expand our namesake brand in the international marketplace by utilizing our proprietary 360 degree turnkey solution. With Cherokee’s high brand awareness in the UK, and the availability of our product development, marketing assets, and a globally approved supply chain, Argos will be able to launch Cherokee branded products for the entire family online, in catalog and at more than 750 stores across the UK and Ireland this fall.  Additionally, we are very confident that we will be able to ensure the availability of Cherokee branded products for adults and kids with a new retail partner in Canada prior to our year end.

“Looking back over the past year, we are very proud of the progress we have made.  We remain on the right path to oversee, expand and develop our entire brand portfolio globally.  In Fiscal 2016, we will continue to focus on executing our strategic plan while keeping our retail partners’, our shareholders’, and our employees’ interests front of mind,” Mr. Stupp concluded.
