The CEO stated, "We are extremely pleased with our results for the second quarter. Although the worldwide retail environment continues to be challenging, our leadership position in our market segments allowed us to continue to perform well during the quarter. During the six months ended August 31, 2009 our Housewares division continued to expand our OXO brand with the completion of two strategic licensing agreements with Staples Inc., the world's largest office products company, and UCB, a global biopharmaceutical leader. These two partnerships extend OXO's reach into new and exciting categories... We believe our Company's core strengths remain strong, and we continue to work on the five Company initiatives detailed in our 2009 annual report."
