President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs have already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41871407/trumps-tariffs-deportations-and-tax-cuts-may-push-prices-higher-experts-say-its-pretty-clear">begun to upend businesses</a> in several industries and many are taking action to safeguard their profits.

Philip Daniele, the CEO of AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>), has stated unequivocally that if these tariffs are imposed, consumers will bear the expense. On a recent earnings call, Daniele said, &#8220;If we get tariffs, we will pass those tariff costs back to the consumer.&#8221; The company expects to raise prices even before the tariffs take effect, anticipating how these new policies will impact its margins.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Else Is Raising Prices?</h2>
Many other businesses, particularly those that depend significantly on foreign suppliers, are also preparing for possible price increases, so AutoZone is not the only company preparing for these changes.&nbsp;
Steve Madden (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOO#NASDAQ">SHOO</a>) is one of the first companies to make a move. The shoe retailer, which sources 70% of its products from China, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41862692/steve-madden-announces-plans-to-move-production-to-avoid-trump-tariffs-but-theres-a-catch">announced that it will cut its reliance</a> on Chinese production by half, moving to places like Vietnam, Cambodia and Mexico. Even with these changes, customers should anticipate price increases as Steve Madden manages the higher expenses related to the effects of tariffs and changing supply chains.

Columbia Sportswear (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COLM#NASDAQ">COLM</a>) also raised concerns about how tariffs would make it more difficult to maintain the affordability of its products. According to CEO Tim Boyle, the company may be forced to raise prices to cover the additional tariff charges.&nbsp;
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">National Retail Federation</a> expressed similar views, describing the tariffs as &#8220;a tax on American families&#8221; and warning that the cost of daily goods like furniture, shoes and clothes might rise sharply.
According to their research, a $90 pair of sneakers might cost $106-116 and a $100 coat could cost up to $21 more. Footwear companies, in particular, are worried – since nearly 99% of all shoes sold in the U.S. are made abroad, it will be tough to move production to the U.S. anytime soon.

According to CEO Donald Allan Jr., the company has been considering several options, but manufacturing their goods in the United States isn&#8217;t considered practical because of financial difficulties. Rather, they will probably pass on any higher expenses to customers. &#8220;And obviously, coming out of the gate, there would be price increases associated with tariffs that we put into the market,&#8221; Allan stated.
Even dollar stores aren&#8217;t immune. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/10/41451898/what-analysts-are-saying-about-dollar-tree-stock">Dollar Tree</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>), which imports many of its items from China, might have to rethink its fixed-price-point model of $1.25 per item if tariffs increase costs too much. Like other importers, the company faces a difficult choice – absorb higher costs, which would hit profits or raise prices, which could challenge its value-focused business model.
For now, many companies are waiting to see what will actually happen with the proposed tariffs, but one thing is clear – if they do go into effect, the cost of imports will rise and those increases will most likely reach consumers.

China may view President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s return to the White House as an opportunity for strategic advantage despite immediate economic challenges, according to a leading China expert.
What Happened: Elizabeth Economy, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, <a href="https://x.com/BloombergTV/status/1855626514500333605">told</a> Bloomberg TV that while Trump&#8217;s proposed 60% tariffs would significantly impact China&#8217;s economy, the longer-term implications could favor Beijing&#8217;s global ambitions.
&#8220;China is probably looking at the return of Donald Trump as short-term pain, but potentially long-term strategic gain,&#8221; Economy said. She estimated that China would need to find new markets for approximately $200 billion in exports if Trump&#8217;s tariff plans materialize.
The trade restrictions would hit China particularly hard given its current economic struggles, Economy noted. However, she suggested that Trump&#8217;s potential impact on America&#8217;s global leadership role could ultimately benefit China&#8217;s strategic interests.
Economy emphasized that Trump&#8217;s presidency could weaken the United States&#8217; traditional position as a major security guarantor, free trade advocate, and democracy supporter on the world stage – areas where China seeks to expand its influence.&#8221;It opens up an opportunity for [Chinese Prsident] Xi Jinping to fill the gap to step into the bridge,&#8221; Economy said.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s return has already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41867397/xi-jinping-courts-us-allies-to-counter-trumps-trade-threats-report">prompted reactions from China</a>, as seen in recent moves by Chinese leadership. China is actively engaging U.S. allies in Europe and Asia to mitigate the impact of Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs, which could be as high as 60% on Chinese imports. This strategy includes offering tariff cuts and visa exemptions to these allies.
Additionally, the U.S. has taken steps to curb China&#8217;s technological advancements. A report reveals that the U.S. has asked Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) to halt shipments of advanced chips to China, further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41867470/us-asks-tsmc-to-stop-shipment-of-chips-used-in-ai-applications-to-customers-from-china-after-its-chip-was-found-in-huawei-ai-processor">complicating China&#8217;s economic landscape</a>.
Furthermore, companies like Steve Madden Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOO#NASDAQ">SHOO</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41862692/steve-madden-announces-plans-to-move-production-to-avoid-trump-tariffs-but-theres-a-catch">already adjusting their strategies</a> to avoid potential tariffs by reducing manufacturing in China and shifting production to other countries.

China May Benefit From Trump's Return To White House Despite His Tariff Plans, Says Expert: 'Short-Term pain, But Potentially Long-Term Strategic Gain'

Steve Madden Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOO#NASDAQ">SHOO</a>), a major player in the footwear industry valued at $3 billion, has announced plans to significantly reduce its manufacturing operations in China. This strategic shift is in response to President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">proposed tariffs on Chinese imports</a>.
What Happened: CEO Edward Rosenfeld revealed that the company intends to cut its production in China by half, as reported by<a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/08/economy/steve-madden-china-trump-tariffs/index.html"> CNN</a>. Currently, 70% of Steve Madden&#8217;s imports come from China.
The company plans to decrease this to between 40% and 45% over the next year by shifting production to countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, Mexico, and Brazil. This strategy aims to circumvent the potential tariffs, which could reach up to 60% on Chinese goods.

Why It Matters: The decision by Steve Madden to move production is part of a broader response to President-elect Trump&#8217;s aggressive tariff proposals.
Trump has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41774549/trumps-big-tech-policies-what-gop-victory-means-for-apple-google-microsoft">suggested imposing a 20% tariff</a> on all imports and even higher rates on Chinese goods. This has raised concerns among companies heavily reliant on Chinese manufacturing, such as Apple Inc. and others, about potential cost increases that might be passed on to consumers.
Furthermore, a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study"> study by the National Retail Federation</a> warns that these tariffs could lead to a significant reduction in consumer spending, potentially costing Americans $78 billion annually. The study highlights the impact on essential items like apparel and appliances, which could see price hikes, disproportionately affecting low-income families.
Economist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41795320/trumps-20-tariff-plans-could-unleash-wave-of-spending-on-big-ticket-buys-in-holiday-quarter-says-eco">Justin Wolfers</a> thinks that the anticipation of these tariffs might drive a surge in consumer spending on big-ticket items in the short term as people rush to make purchases before the tariffs take effect.

Burlington Stores, Inc.&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/burl#NYSE">BURL</a>) strong sales growth in the second quarter of 2024, driven by an aggressive store expansion strategy, robust comparable sales performance and operational efficiencies, positions the company for sustained success.
Enhanced inventory management and operational efficiencies have boosted profitability. The company&#39;s revised guidance for fiscal 2024 reflects confidence in its continued strong performance, with expectations for improved margins and earnings.
Investments in supply-chain upgrades and automation position Burlington for sustained long-term growth. The company remains well-positioned to provide continued value to both consumers and investors, solidifying its market presence and competitive advantage.
<h2>BURL Achieves Growth on Store Expansion &amp; Improved Margins</h2>
Burlington achieved a remarkable 13% growth in total sales in the second quarter due to rapid store expansion. The company added 36 stores, raising its total store count to 1,057. This expansion is expected to continue, with plans to open 100 stores and relocate 30 by the end of 2024.
Sales at these new locations exceeded expectations, typically generating about $7 million in their first full year of operation. Burlington&#39;s continued focus on growing its store footprint underscores its ability to scale revenues and enhance its market presence across the United States.
Burlington&#39;s comparable store sales (comp sales) grew 5% year over year, surpassing its guidance of flat to 2%. A key driver of this success has been the company&#39;s emphasis on full-price selling, which rose 7%, enabling Burlington to reduce markdowns and increase margins. By reducing clearance sales and focusing on full-price goods, the company improved profitability and showcased its ability to deliver value to consumers.
BURL also made significant strides in improving its margins. The company&#39;s gross margin rose by 110 basis points, reaching 42.8% in the second quarter primarily due to faster inventory turnover and fewer markdowns. Operational efficiencies in distribution centers helped offset inflationary pressures, while supply-chain improvements contributed to a 160-basis-point expansion in the operating margin.
<h2>Burlington&#39;s Strong Outlook for FY24</h2>
BURL, which shares space with Skechers (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/skx#NYSE">SKX</a>), Steven Madden, Ltd.

Steven Madden And Fast Simon Partner To Bring AI Shopping Optimization To 25 Online Stores

Designer Brands Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dbi#NYSE">DBI</a>) released second-quarter fiscal 2024 results, wherein both the bottom and top lines lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate and declined year over year.
However, during the second quarter, the company continued to advance with its strategic initiatives aimed at business transformation. Despite challenges in categories like dress and seasonal footwear, the expansion of athletic and athleisure brands helped mitigate some of the pressure.
Looking ahead, the focus will be on investments in retail and brand businesses to drive growth. Enhancements in product assortment, marketing and the omnichannel customer experience are intended to ensure the company remains a top destination for footwear. These enhancements will also help it to adapt to changing consumer spending patterns and evolving market trends.

<h2>More on Designer Brands&#39; Q2 Results</h2>
Designer Brands posted adjusted earnings of 29 cents per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 56 cents. The company recorded earnings of 59 cents per share in the year-ago period.
Net sales were $771.9 million, down 2.6% year over year. The top line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $819 million. Also, comparable sales (comps) decreased 1.4% year over year compared with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a nearly 3.7% decline.
<h2>Insight Into DBI&#39;s Margins &amp; Expenses</h2>
Gross profit amounted to $252.9 million, down 7.5% from $273.4 million in the year-ago quarter. This was primarily due to lesser revenues. Also, the gross margin decreased 170 bps to 32.8% from the prior-year period&#39;s level.
This decline was mainly due to a lower initial markup on athletic and athleisure products as the company focused on increasing its market share in these categories. Additionally, the need to run promotions to clear seasonal inventory put pressure on the gross margin, leading to reduced profitability.
Adjusted SG&amp;A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, rose to 28.9%, up 200 basis points from 26.9% in the same quarter last year. This increase in the ratio was primarily due to a drop in overall sales, combined with higher fixed costs and greater investment in areas like talent acquisition and IT, particularly for e-commerce and back-to-school marketing. However, this impact was somewhat mitigated by cost reductions implemented at the start of the second quarter.
Adjusted net income amounted to $17.1 million, down 56.7% from $39.4 million in the year-ago quarter.

Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/uaa#NYSE">UAA</a>) has revised its fiscal 2025 restructuring strategy to include additional steps aimed at enhancing supply-chain operations and business efficiency. Originally, the company estimated pre-tax restructuring expenses to be in the range of $70-$90 million.&nbsp;After reevaluation, pre-tax restructuring expenses are anticipated to be in the range of $140-$160 million.
A major driver of this adjustment is the decision to phase out one of its primary distribution centers in Rialto, CA, by March 2026. This restructuring reflects Under Armour&#39;s broader goal of streamlining operations and refining its supply chain. While the updated plan will increase short-term costs, the company aims to emerge more agile and financially stronger in the long run.

<h2>Financial Impact of Restructuring on Under Armour</h2>
The financial impact of Under Armour&#39;s restructuring plan is expected to be significant, involving both cash-related and non-cash expenses. The company projects cash-related charges of up to $75 million, with $30 million allocated for severance and employee benefits and an additional $45 million for various transformation initiatives aimed at improving operational efficiency.&nbsp;
In addition, non-cash charges are anticipated to be almost $85 million. This includes $7 million in severance-related costs and $78 million in impairments tied to assets such as facilities, software and other resources. By the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Under Armour had already incurred $34 million in restructuring costs, consisting of $19 million in cash-related charges and $15 million in non-cash expenses. The company estimates that approximately two-thirds of the total restructuring costs will be recognized by the end of fiscal 2025.
<h2>UAA&#39;s Revised Financial Projections</h2>
As a result of the expanded restructuring efforts, Under Armour has updated its fiscal 2025 financial outlook. The company now forecasts operating loss to be in the range of $220-$240 million, an increase from the previously expected range of $194-$214 million. However, excluding restructuring and litigation-related charges, adjusted operating income is projected to be between $140 million and $160 million.
Additionally, the company has revised its expectations for loss per share, which is now estimated to be between 58 cents and 61 cents, up from the earlier guided range&nbsp; of 53 - 56 cents. On an adjusted basis, excluding the impact of restructuring expenses, Under Armour anticipates earnings per share to be in the range of 19 - 22 cents. These updated projections reflect the financial implications of the restructuring plan.
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
Under Armour&#39;s updated fiscal 2025 restructuring plan marks a significant shift in its efforts to streamline operations and cut costs. The decision to exit a key distribution facility, alongside other transformational initiatives, has led to an increase in anticipated restructuring expenses. Despite the immediate financial impact, including higher projected losses, the company aims to create a more agile and efficient business in the long term.
While the expanded restructuring will result in increased short-term costs, the adjusted earnings outlook, excluding these charges, remains positive. Under Armour aims to be better positioned for sustained profitability and growth in the years to come.

Under Armour's Restructuring to Improve Supply Chain, Long-Term Growth

Stitch Fix, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sfix#NASDAQ">SFIX</a>) has seen a substantial 45.4% surge in its stock price in the past six months, significantly outpacing the Zacks Retail-Apparel and Shoes industry&#39;s 6.5% decline. This impressive growth is driven by the company&#39;s strategic initiatives, such as AI-powered inventory management, pricing optimization, margin expansion, enhanced client engagement and improved cost efficiency.
These efforts have enabled Stitch Fix to outperform both the broader Retail-Wholesale sector and the S&amp;P 500 index, which saw growth of 2.6% and 5.9%, respectively, in the same period. This impressive uptick has left many investors wondering if they missed out on a lucrative opportunity or if there is still potential for growth. Closing at $3.46 as of Sept. 6, the SFIX stock is inching toward its 52-week high of $5.05 attained on July 16, 2024.
Technical indicators are supportive of Stitch Fix&#39;s strong performance. The stock is trading above both its 100-day and 200-day moving averages, indicating robust upward momentum and price stability. This technical strength reflects positive market perception and confidence in SFIX&#39;s financial health and prospects.
From a valuation perspective, the stock presents an attractive opportunity, trading at a discount relative to historical and industry benchmarks. With a forward 12-month price-to-sales ratio of 0.33, below the five-year median of 0.54 and the industry&#39;s average of 1.04, the stock offers compelling value for investors seeking exposure to the sector. The stock currently has a Value Score of A, further validating its appeal.

<h2>Stitch Fix&#39;s Strategic Moves to Drive Growth</h2>
Stitch Fix continues to fuel its growth by leveraging AI and data analytics, which have become central to the company&#39;s operations. A key driver of this success is the implementation of an AI-driven inventory buying tool, now responsible for nearly half of all inventory decisions, significantly boosting efficiency compared to traditional methods. This strategic application of AI highlights Stitch Fix&#39;s commitment to innovating business processes and maintaining a competitive edge.
The introduction of Quick Fixes, a feature that allows clients to schedule an additional fix immediately after checkout, has led to a 25% increase in average order value within three weeks, showcasing the company&#39;s agility in meeting client needs. Additionally, a comprehensive review of pricing architecture has resulted in adjustments expected to generate more than $20 million in annualized contribution profit, aligning prices with the value offered and enhancing profitability.
Stitch Fix has also made significant strides in margin expansion and operational efficiency. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the company reported a 280-basis-point year-over-year increase in gross margin, reaching 45.5%. This improvement was driven by strong product margins and better transportation leverage, reflecting the company&#39;s strategic focus on optimizing pricing and inventory management.
Enhancing the client experience remains a top priority for Stitch Fix. The company has introduced more dynamic and personalized interactions, such as increasing the number of items in each fix, refining discount strategies and improving the onboarding process. These initiatives have already delivered promising results, with higher average order values and improved retention metrics, indicating strong client satisfaction and loyalty.
The launch of Stitch Fix Freestyle has created a unique shopping experience, allowing customers to discover and purchase curated items based on their style preferences, fit and size, without the need for a Fix first. This initiative is part of the company&#39;s broader strategy to expand its client base and achieve long-term profitability.
On the marketing front, Stitch Fix is refining its strategy to prioritize liquidity preservation and profitability by focusing on high-lifetime-value clients. The company is also restructuring its operations, including consolidating U.S. warehouse locations from five to three and successfully divesting its U.K. operations, further aligning SFIX&#39;s business for sustained growth.
<h2>Declining Active Client Base: A Major Hurdle of SFIX</h2>
The reduction in the active client base in the past eight quarters has been a major concern and is the primary factor behind the company&#39;s revenue decline. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the number of active clients involved in ongoing operations fell to 2,633,000, representing a 20% year-over-year decrease.
Consequently, the company&#39;s revenues dropped 15.8% in the fiscal third quarter. This persistent decline in sales indicates ongoing challenges in client retention and acquisition, possibly indicating deeper issues related to product appeal or increased market competition.
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
Investors may consider SFIX stock due to its strong recovery momentum, bolstered by innovative AI-driven inventory management and pricing strategies, which have significantly improved efficiency, margins and client engagement.
Despite a decline in the active client base, the stock&#39;s value appeal is evident in its low price-to-sales ratio and outperforming industry benchmarks, combined with technical indicators showing robust price stability. This makes SFIX an attractive option for those seeking exposure to a company leveraging advanced analytics for growth. The company&#39;s focus on operational efficiency and profitability further enhances its investment potential. Stitch Fix currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

<h2>An Update on Burlington Stores&#39; Fleet of Stores</h2>
In the fiscal second quarter, Burlington Stores expanded its presence significantly by opening 36 net new stores, bringing the total to 1,057 locations by the end of the quarter. The company also relocated four older, oversized stores as part of its ongoing efforts to optimize its store base.
BURL is on track to open approximately 100 net new stores and relocate around 30 locations in fiscal 2024. Sales of the new stores are exceeding the company&#39;s expectations, which typically target about $7 million in sales for the first full year of operation.

<h2>BURL&#39;s Financial Snapshot: Cash, Debt and Equity Overview</h2>
The company ended the reported quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $659.9 million, long-term debt of $1.23 billion and stockholders&#39; equity of $1.07 billion.

<h2>BURL&#39;s Fiscal 2024 Guidance</h2>
For the fiscal third quarter, the company anticipates a 10-12% increase in total sales. This projection is based on an expected 0-2% increase in comparable store sales from the year-ago quarter. The adjusted EBIT margin is expected to improve 60-80 bps year over year in the third quarter.

EBIT margins are anticipated to decrease in the band of 50-80 bps. EPS is projected to be in the range of $3.55-$3.75.

Total sales are now expected increase in the band of 9-10%, slightly higher than the earlier estimated 8-10%.

The forecast for adjusted EPS has also been revised upward and is now expected to be in the range of $7.66-$7.96 compared with the earlier estimate of $7.35-$7.75. This indicates stronger overall profitability. Both projections exclude expenses associated with the acquired Bed Bath &amp; Beyond leases.

Burlington Stores' Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, Fiscal 2024 Outlook Raised

Guess? Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ges#NYSE">GES</a>) posted mixed second-quarter fiscal 2025 results, with the top line increasing year over year. The bottom line declined from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported figure and missed the consensus mark.
The company is lowering its fiscal 2025 revenue and earnings outlook to reflect the current weaker consumer environment. That said, it is effectively managing its costs and inventories while still supporting business growth through investments in marketing, new stores and infrastructure. The acquisition of rag &amp; bone is likely to have contributed to the positive performance.
<h2>GES&#39;s Quarterly Performance: Key Metrics &amp; Insights</h2>
GES reported adjusted earnings of 42 cents per share that missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents. However, the bottom line declined 42% from earnings of 72 cents in the year-ago quarter. The company&#39;s bottom-line performance reflects its decision to substantially boost marketing investments compared with last year&#39;s levels. This increased spending was aimed at supporting the international expansion of its brands, including the core Guess brand and the new additions to the portfolio, such as Guess Jeans and rag &amp; bone.
Net revenues amounted to $732.6 million, up 10% year over year. On a constant-currency (cc) basis, net revenues rose 13%. The strong performance was driven by the Rag &amp; Bone acquisition and robust wholesale results in Europe and Americas regions. All segments, except Asia, registered top-line growth. The consensus mark for quarterly revenues was pegged at $732 million.

Adjusted earnings from operations were $37.9 million, down 41.6% from $65 million reported in the year-ago quarter. The adjusted operating margin came in at 5.2%, down from 9.8% reported in the same quarter last year. The downtick was mainly caused by increased expenses, the impact of newly-acquired businesses and higher promotions. However, it was partially offset by initial markups and the positive impact of higher revenues.
<h2>Guess? Provides Q2 Revenue &amp; Margin Insights by Segment</h2>
Revenues in the Americas Retail segment rose 8% in U.S. dollars and 9% at constant currency or cc. However, retail comparable sales, including e-commerce, declined 10% in both U.S. dollars and at cc. The segment&#39;s operating margin fell 7.6% to 1.5% in the quarter.
Americas Wholesale revenues soared 93% on a reported basis and 94% at cc. The segment&#39;s operating margin declined 6.4% to 18.9% due to the impact of newly-acquired businesses.
The Europe segment&#39;s revenues increased 5% and 8% on a reported basis and at cc, respectively. Retail comp sales (including e-commerce) moved up 1% on a reported basis and 4% at cc. The segmental operating margin was 9.8%, down 3.1% year over year.
Asia revenues declined 8% on a reported basis and 4% at cc. Retail comp sales (including e-commerce) fell 14% and 10% on a reported basis and at cc, respectively. The operating margin in the segment stood at negative 2.3%, down 1.4% year over year. The downside was primarily due to lower revenues and increased expenses.

Licensing revenues rose 4% on a reported basis and at cc. Segmental operating margin was 93.3% compared with 94.1% in the year-ago quarter. The reduction in the operating margin was primarily due to increased expenses.
