TORONTO, Canada — Canada Goose Holdings Inc reported quarterly earnings above Wall Street estimates on Wednesday, lifted by higher orders from department stores for its parkas and jackets, sending its US-listed share up 8 percent.
The company's wholesale business reported a 22.2 percent jump in sales to C$219.8 million, while revenue from its retail stores and online operations surged 47 percent to C$74.2 million.
Canada Goose gets the bulk of its revenue from its wholesale business in North America, where its goods are sold in department stores including Bloomingdales and Nordstrom Inc.
"Alongside continued growth at home, we are making great strides internationally, and we believe we are well positioned going into our peak selling season," Canada Goose Chief Executive Dani Reiss said.
