Revenue at the athletic shoe and sportswear maker rose 27 percent to $369.5 million, from $291.3 million in the same period last year. Consensus views calling for revs of $358.5 million.
Net income increased 6.8 percent to $6.67 million, or 6 cents per share. The Street was expecting slightly lighter profit of 5 cents per share.
Gross margin slipped 40 basis points to 45.9 percent.
Showing the largest growth was Footwear, which saw sales improve 43.8 percent to $67.43 million. Apparel sales rose 23.5 percent to $252.85 million.
Though the quarter produced some strong results, most of the positive sentiment can be traced to guidance.
