“I am pleased to report that our core Kitchenware products category performed well during the quarter, as it has all year; reflecting increases in our Kitchen Tools & Gadgets and Kitchen Cutlery & Cutting Board product lines, and strong gains in Cookware, driven by the introduction our new Guy Fieri® cookware line.
|
|
“These gains were offset by declines in our Tabletop and Home Solutions product categories. Sales of tabletop products were negatively impacted by several factors, including a decision to restrict sales of Mikasa-branded dinnerware to customers that maintain and primarily sell through brick and mortar facilities and the well-publicized problems at a major retailer that traditionally had been a significant customer of our tabletop products.
|
|
“As previously noted, we are transitioning some of our home décor business to higher quality branded products sold under our Mikasa® and Pfaltzgraff® brands.
|
|
“I am pleased to report that Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath had little impact on our operations.
|
|
“Our holiday season is shaping up well. Based on our current bookings and orders, we expect consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter to be approximately 5% greater than net sales in the fourth quarter of 2011.”
