Quiksilver’s 10-K Report Reveals Increased Net Revenue

Quiksilver’s 10-K report, published Wednesday, December 31, showed the company’s total net revenues for fiscal 2008 increased 11% to $2,264.6 million from $2,047.1 million in fiscal 2007 primarily as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and higher unit sales. An excerpt from the report states:

“Revenues in the Americas increased 7% to $1,061.4 million for fiscal 2008 from $995.8 million in the prior year, while European revenues increased 16% to $933.1 million from $803.4 million and Asia/Pacific revenues increased 9% to $265.1 million from $243.1 million for those same periods. In the Americas, the increase in revenues came primarily from DC brand revenues, partially offset by small decreases in our Quiksilver and Roxy brand revenues. The increase in DC brand revenues came primarily from growth in footwear and apparel product lines. The decrease in Quiksilver and Roxy came across all product lines except for increases in our Quiksilver footwear and Roxy apparel product lines.”
