In the section of our website.
The forward looking statements made on this call speak only as of today and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any of these statements.
Our commentary today will include certain non <unk> financial measures.
Which are reconciled in the table at the end of our earnings press release issued this morning.
And available on our Investor Relations website.
With that I will turn the call over to Danny.
Thank you Patrick and good morning, everyone I'm pleased to speak with you all today of our strong start to fiscal 2022, and the continued momentum we're seeing across the entire business.
The results we delivered in Q1 demonstrates the global demand for our brand and our ability to offer it in an improving yet still evolving retail environment.
Heading into this quarter, we were well positioned after finishing fiscal 2021 with record revenue in our third and fourth quarters, our business has shifted from our coverage of growth.
And that has continued into this quarter today I'm going to cover our results and share highlights of how we are driving growth in key categories.
And across geographies.
Looking at the quarter, our results were driven by strength across all channels and regions.
On global E Commerce revenue increased by more than 80% and low triple digit growth in both APAC and EMEA.
In North America, Canada led the way with the growth rate in the high <unk> and in the U S where the majority of our stores were opened for the quarter. We saw strong ecommerce growth in the high forties.
This highlights not only our successful investments in our digital business, but also the strength of our global demand.
Next revenue increased significantly in all geographic regions.
This is important to highlight as many of our stores across Europe, and Canada were impacted by closures during the period.
This performance underscores the functionality of our model and reinforces our ability to capture and served on that in any environment.
Specifically in Canada, where we faced elevated closures in the quarter revenue still grew by 126% excluding PPE.
We consider this a very positive indication of domestic demand.
As traffic continues to improve we expect to see that drive increased productivity in our stores, which would be incremental channel growth to the performance. We have shown this quarter.
Turning to our retail expansion we've spoken previously about the opportunity we continue to see in mainland China and our strategic focus on growing our business. There. We saw firsthand the opportunity ahead of us with our DTC revenue in mainland China, increasing by 188% this quarter.
Moving beyond Q1, we continued to build our business in mainland China and over the past month, we celebrated three new store openings in key markets in the region with three more expected to follow up this fall.
On the growing global lifestyle brand, we continue to expand across geographies launching new categories and products designed with the intention purpose and functionality.
As of Canada Goose brand continues to gain momentum we are actively innovating on many fronts and investing in newness and expanding our apparel offering globally.
Since our network launch in 2017 and with the addition of of our incredibly popular from this category last year, our apparel business is expected to exceed $45 million in sales this fiscal.
And only four years, we have successfully developed the fast growing category into a meaningful business and we expect the trajectory to continue.
Building on that are non parka business has shown strength overall and in this quarter, specifically contributed roughly half of our DTC revenue.
As I've spoken about in our last call we plan to launch Canada Goose footwear. Later this fall our intention is to define and develop this category in the way that no. Other brand can or has I have great confidence on our team and in the ability to succeed in this category just like we have with each of our previous category expansion.
Including lightweight down and apparel.
We have a proven track record of successfully building of new categories into meaningful businesses for our brand as I have said before I believe that we have an incredible opportunity in front of us in the footwear and I cannot wait to introduce you to our offering of very soon.
Continue to innovate across of our assortment and we have made a commitment to embed sustainability throughout our organization.
As we laid out in our inaugural sustainable impact strategy report, we are transforming the way we do business to ensure that we're doing everything we can to create the future that we want to see in the world.
With that focus this June we announced the mood and the use of offer and our product through a phased approach. We will end the purchase of for this year by December 2021, and we will and manufacturing was for no later than the next year by December 2022.
This decision was driven by our commitment to sustainability and our purpose based platform human nature.
Our mission has always been to make products that deliver exceptional quality protection from the elements and performed the way our consumers need them too and this transforms how we will continue to do just that.
This path forward represent the combination of both of our long term strategic planning and importantly, the significant growth of our non <unk> business.
Currently our non forgiveness of accounts for roughly half of our revenue. This has shifted significantly over the past few years.
This has been intentional planned and driven by our expanding non per park offering lightweight down in spring categories and as previously mentioned our growing apparel business.
And a transformational change of has energized our business I'm excited and I am confident in this new direction and its ability to further accelerate our growth.
In conclusion. This was another productive quarter of where we found success by investing on the opportunities with the greatest impact for our business.
This quarter also marked an important evolution of our brand strengthening on our commitment to a more sustainable future.
And as we continue to move through the year I'm really excited to share updates with you all on our full launch later this fall.
And with that I'll turn it over to Jonathan to go over the details of our financial results.
Good morning, everyone and thank you for joining us today.
Canada Goose is off to a great start to fiscal 2022.
Looking at our Q1 results and outlook several three key themes the standouts.
Firstly, alongside the reopening and improving retail trends of digital business have continued our rapid pace of growth.
Secondly, the flexibility of our supply chain and DTC distribution of incredible assets, the navigating a dynamic environment.
Thirdly looking beyond the <unk>.
We have the building blocks the significant upside in our profitability.
Starting with the top line total Q1 revenue came in at $56 million helped by a lower level of disruptions in both channels.
On the channel level DTC revenue was $29 million.
We lapped the peak of first wave closures, where the more operational sort of impac.
To the store base.
Across our network, we lost approximately 20% of total trading days compared to 60% last year.
This was complemented by outstanding digital growth against the meaningful comparative price.
Global ecommerce revenue increased by 81% with the continuation of the broad based growth we saw in Q4.
Canada led the way in North America, with the high <unk> growth rate below the forties level in the United States, while all stores were opened throughout the quarter.
EMEA and APAC, both had low triple digit growth rates.
In Europe, the U K was a particularly significant contributor.
As well as mainland China and APAC.
In wholesale revenue was $26 million.
Our growth was due to a near total shutdown of shipments last year at the peak of the first wave.
Our expectation of annual revenue in line with fiscal 2021 has not changed.
We continue to concentrate more business with our best partners and tools as the <unk>.
Strategic complement to DTC.
All regions made strong contributions to our growth.
The sequential improvement, we're seeing in Canada is particularly encouraging.
Excluding the impact of temporary PPE sales revenue increased by 126%.
This is despite losing 40% of the trading days and on <unk>.
In the Canadian stores.
Since reopening we are seeing some of our best store productivity levels globally and off of.
Market.
Moving on to gross margin DTC was 73% while wholesale was 35%.
Both came in slightly lower than the levels, we discussed on our last call.
We continue to expect each to be in line with fiscal 2021 from the full year.
In wholesale distributor mix was higher than initially expected.
As well as non parka mix in DTC.
These mix impacts are not significant on an annual basis, and we expect them to be transitory.
We achieved record non parka participation in our own channel at roughly half of DTC revenue.
This is of great milestone from the strategic evolution of our offering.
Finishing with SG&A the.
Total expense line was $72 million.
47% from last year.
This reflects a much more operational business alongside growth investments.
Inter quarter, we decided to shift the portion of our planned spend into Q2.
I will circle back to the impact of that at the end my remarks.
That shift complements underlying cost efficiencies from permanent savings initiatives last year.
Looking ahead to full winter, we are confident in our ability to make the most of peak demand.
The pandemic is north of over the.
Disruptions and risks remain including new variants.
That said our operational backdrop has greatly improved.
All of our stores are now open.
As all of our eight Canadian manufacturing facilities.
Our factories are running efficiently are much more normalized levels of production relative to last year.
Yeah.
While the distancing regulations remain we are utilizing extra shifts to lessen the impact.
Due to our unique model, we don't have significant exposure to the production shutdowns and shipping delays the sector is currently facing the.
The vast majority of our revenue base is made in Canada.
With the continuous live offering we confidently stage raw materials and finished goods.
Shipping routes are also different.
We generally stop outbound from Canada to our global network of distribution centers.
We are highly confident in our ability to get product into the marketplace, while retaining in season and flexibility.
Our gross margin tailwind also make this type of environment much more manageable from a profitability perspective.
Our experience in fiscal 2021 of its a great proof point.
Despite losing three months of production to mandatory closures and retooling of our infrastructure to make PPE, we are not constrained by supply and we preserved very strong gross margins.
The other of uncertainty of sector is grappling with.
Pace of retail recovery relative to last year's outsized E Commerce guidance.
That's the brand, which started in DTC online on <unk>.
As of selective retail footprint.
We are truly agnostic, we want to drive DTC mix higher wherever the consumer wants to shop and in today's environment, where the consumer is able to shop.
We have the global reach and critical mass to capture demand online and drive outsized growth.
Also note that our stores are productive and sort of the by consumers even in the highly disrupted environment.
Retail recovery is also foundational to our long term margin upside.
This year, we've already lost a significant amount of trading to closures and luxury retail traffic is still far from pre pandemic levels globally.
Across geographies, there is a wide spectrum of case levels movement restrictions and reopening trends.
As we look beyond these dynamics, we have the potential for an extra gear.
The normalization of retail will really accelerate the uplift from driving DTC mix higher.
And in the environment. We're all stores are continuously open with full traffic. There is no reason why our adjusted EBIT margin Shouldnt start with the two and half on advancing multiyear trend.
Lastly, I will finish with some commentary around current trends in Q2.
Starting with the top line, we are assuming a low double digit growth rate in wholesale driven by earlier shipment timing.
In DTC, we currently expect revenue at roughly one of the half times last years level in.
In the other segment, which generated $30 million last year due to temporary PPE manufacturing, we do not expect any meaningful revenue.
We expect DTC gross margin in the mid Seventy's and wholesale gross margin in the mid Forty's in line with historical annual levels.
On the expense line. We're currently planning for the total SG&A of over $100 million and DNA of touch over $20 million.
This reflects the flow through of delayed spend I mentioned earlier.
In summary, we continue to navigate through a challenging environment, but we remain confident and on resilient and growing business.
We are encouraged by the improving retail trends and rapid global E Commerce growth.
Pairing this with our agile supply chain of distribution puts us in a great position to navigate today's on loans.
We remain in a dynamic world, but we are very optimistic that our momentum will continue into the peak season and drive sustained long term growth.
With that I will pass over to the operator to begin Q&A.
And as a reminder to ask a question you will need to press star one on your telephone keypad.
To withdraw your question press the pound key and please limit your questions to one and you may re queue for any follow up again by the start of <unk> asked a question on we'll pause for a moment of compile the Q&A roster.
And our first question comes from the line of Olivia Channel column.
Hi, Thank you very much good morning, Dani and Jonathan.
In line of your recent burn out how we'll being non for impact of your business and what gives you confidence that you'll be able to grow at the same trajectory. It sounds like you've been really proactive about the decision on strategy and as a follow up what do you think about both for our FERC substitute.
As you look kind of at an investigated different opportunities. Thank you.
Yes.
Thanks, Oliver Thanks for the question and good to hear from you.
We are very confident that we will meet this transition and that we will continue to be of high growth company at same time.
This is not a certain set of the decision for US. This is something that we have been.
Hindering in planning around for years.
Our non <unk> product offering has been growing on an outsized spreads and it makes up roughly half of the revenue base today and Thats. The trajectory of that has been and will continue will be continuing.
This includes non for park the styles.
Turning of HUD trends, new product categories furniture assortment.
We make for our wholesale partners all of which have been extremely well.
We expect them to continue to be.
Successful. So we are on the stage now where we can.
We can we feel.
We can continue to offer the best in protection without using the <unk>.
This decision of truly energized the company and I believe offers the Asa.
Yes.
On huge amount of increased opportunity in the future.
With regards to your question on <unk>, we absolutely will not be using sulfur we do not believe that out of the sustainable alternative for the environment and.
We will be using other.
The net.
Okay Danny.
Now the question.
The the consumer side I was just curious about the consumer research and what customers thanking you.
The customer centric and thinking about the decision. Thanks, a lot of best regards.
Yes.
We focus on innovation and we focus on providing.
Consumers with the right price that they need for the right environments in which they live in.
As we've.
As we have been intentionally the developing more on on for our products over time and success.
The successful.
We have we will lean into that.
On the more anyway.
Thanks, a lot of perfect.
Your next question comes from the line of Jonathan Komp of Baird.
Yes, hi, Thank you just a follow up on the first questioning but thinking about the gross margin impact can you maybe talk about any sort of on a gross margin uplift that you would expect from not using for going forward and then separately from gross margin any other puts and takes on when you're thinking about the balance of the year of pricing.
The other impacts outside of the the <unk>.
The mix accurate that you called out for the first quarter.
Hi, so.
I think when it comes to <unk>.
We all we.
<unk>.
We will continuously investing in upgrades to the performance of the quality of the sustainability of our jackets and it's very much more.
Part of the broader evolution of our offering so as a result, we're not really expecting with the change margins of the channel level.
And.
Given the broader suite of investments of we're making on our products.
As a more general point on on gross margins. Our algorithm is is very much intact, we're not expecting of gross margins fundamentally to move the the channel level.
Overtime and therefore, we typically talk about mid seven days for the ACC mid to high of 44 wholesale on the annual basis, we don't see that changing we don't see any other puts and takes.
Moving out of this year.
Okay. Thank you.
Your next question comes from the line of Omar <unk> of Evercore ISI.
Good morning, Thanks for taking my question.
Jonathan I wanted you to dive in a little bit deeper on the guidance if you could.
It seems like it really implies the.
Shift to the two H versus pre Covid levels is there a specific reasons why you guys are significant the signaling parts of significant shift into the back half versus pre COVID-19 is.
Is that something changed with the consumer behavior of the wholesale customer behavior or the category.
That would be helpful context, thanks, guys.
No.
No problem the total.
I think the corporate level.
Comes down to.
Two main changes of course channel mix on one hand on buying behavior on the other it is clear that we are.
Much more DTC centric today we.
Expect the channel to approach.
70 percentage of more.
Of our revenues this year.
I think <unk>.
Naturally puts a lot more revenue in Q3 and Q4 on consumer buying of since its peak.
Last year, 89% of our annual DTC revenues were in the second half of the year.
Now in.
In parallel of that as you know, we've also of lease sites and refocused our wholesale business and thats much more weighted to Q2.
And your next question comes from the line of Michael the 19th.
<unk>.
And I'd like to thank you for taking my question here I would like to ask about that a little bit as well, but maybe Jonathan.
Any color on how you thought about the conservatism you baked in <unk> on a direct to consumer basis relate.
Related to the shifts you just mentioned and then.
As we look at the some of the math as you laid out the second quarter. It looks like is it wholesale about 40% below September 19 levels of direct to consumer about 7% below 2019 levels.
The it implies a pretty meaningful.
Decline I'm just curious.
Considering especially on the wholesale side, considering 40% lower than the category, where you guys have pretty consistent price increases.
Does imply some significant unit declines in that channel, maybe you could sort out for us what you think of idiosyncratic.
Net spread.
Versus.
Versus the industry or anything going on in the channel other than you are on strategic decisions I'm, just trying to understand a little bit better.
Why the core would be we'd be down that much given that you still see DTC.
Down seven versus 2019, I'm trying to understand how maybe how you thought about the unit recapture indeed to see given the work you've done in wholesale.
Yes, I think.
So let's take wholesale first and then we'll talk about DTC wholesale we've been very clear that we went through something of a reset last year and we do not expect it to be materially different to last year's level. This year. So.
As you compare back to fiscal 'twenty will happen day, you've got the thing first of all the the shipping patterns might of been somewhat different.
And one on the one hand on the absolute price of the wholesale business was materially higher at the same time.
Secondly, as you switch out of.
Wholesale.
The DTC course, we do expect of that recapture of the.
The key is recaptured at the same time, because typically with wholesale obviously with Pipelining, Inc. In Q2 and getting into the stores on the stores the starting cell it was good.
With DTC, primarily we expect to recognize that revenue in Q3 and Q4.
Turning to the DTC, we believe the.
Our comments are appropriately measured in directional given where we are today.
Most of the quarter is ahead of us in September and we remain in a dynamic environment with new variants.
As we sit here today, we are really pleased of the performance. We're looking forward to a great for winter and if you look at the full year on what's implied for the size of the DTC business Youll see is well ahead of both last year and the of before.
Yes.
With that Jonathan.
<unk> net interest.
Emphasized on this.
The dynamics on the.
And the mixing and shifts all sorts of things are changing the in an annual period year over year our businesses on.
On a on a strong growth trajectory and we feel very confident of the future for a whole variety of reasons.
And your next question comes from the line of Mike Barto of Wells Fargo.
Hey, good morning, everyone I guess two.
Two quick ones John.
Jonathan I think on the last call you had mentioned on wholesale are potentially being flat year over year for the year, but you had some nice performance in Q1, just kind of curious if there's a little bit of an update there.
And then I guess, just bigger picture of Danny or Jonathan.
Since Covid hit your E. Commerce revenue has been fantastic and robust can you talk about an expectation.
Once we normalize.
Where you see your store productivity kind of landing I assume you don't believe that youre going to have similar productivity in your retail stores on the other side of the US just because of how much digital revenue youre not doing but is there a way to think about that or where you guys are thinking about that internally.
So let's take the wholesale question first.
As I think we've mentioned in the.
These documents we vary the wholesale it's about when the when the wholesale customers want to take the inventory. So the performance in the first quarter is neutral.
Expectations for the year in other words, we are simply shifting it when the when the the wholesale clients wanted which is a bit sooner than we thought.
Yes.
And I think debt.
I mean determined to use once we normalize I mean, that's obviously the.
On.
Perhaps that's the punch line once once we normalize the in e-commerce as fully operational as it is today and our stores are also fully operational with normalized traffic I think the sector.
That's an environment, that's accretive to where we are right now.
The the only question.
Impossible for anyone to speculate when that will be.
And your next question comes from the line of making the team.
The team.
Thank you good morning, Jonathan just wanted to clarify your comments around the adjusted EBIT margin starting with the Q.
So what's the timeframe you are referencing there and how dependent is that on the retail environment, improving you could just give a little bit more detail. Please.
Yes.
Thanks.
I still think that.
It's hard to be at a point, where you are from call. It.
The timing of it within the integrity just because.
It obviously does.
An important dependency on that on how retail traffic museums in how retail productivity growth.
We're clearly very much in and the dynamics from disrupted environment.
We are confident that while it's going to get past this to a point where retail is fully operational with mobile traffic.
Timing of it it's just hard.
As I look look today of what we're at.
<unk> delivering.
Really pleased with the progress, we're making and we're really excited about the additional upsides of the full.
The recovery of office.
So the thing.
When we get back to that full traffic.
On the stores being open all of the time, there's no doubt in my mind.
<unk> with the two items.
The strong growth behind it it's just a question of <unk>.
As to when that resumes.
And your next question comes from the line of Sam Poser of striking.
Thank you for taking my questions.
I was wondering.
Can you.
When we look at fiscal 19 is this all of the timing issue or sorry fiscal 'twenty is this all of them.
The timing issue of sell in versus sell through.
That makes it back and more more backend loaded than in the past on this.
Just trying to get a complete handle on this on and if you could give us some more color on exactly.
Coming up around 66% gross margin for the year.
Is that more or less.
What youre thinking about.
So I think the.
As we.
Back to fiscal 'twenty, we had the way way lower DTC participation in this business.
The.
If you if you look of what we've said we're close on the 70% per the year.
Our expectations the DTC participation.
This year that fundamentally changes the revenue pattern of the business because it my first of all wholesalers.
On the same size of at malls and secondly, the DTC business.
But as I said earlier with the.
The huge skew to the second half of the year.
So that's really what's going on there I think if you take those proportions and you take what I said about.
Gross margin of the channel level.
Thank you of doing workshops of something in the ZIP code that you're talking about.
And your next question comes from the line of Jay sole with UBS.
Great. Thank you so much so on a three part question.
First you Danny can you talk a little bit about the launch strategy for footwear.
But you have coming up here in the next few months, maybe you're on when we'll see that and also can you give us a little bit more detail around the timing of when some of the stores in China will open.
And then lastly is there a plan to.
Leverage the winter Olympic games that are coming up in February for the brand and the way that will increase visibility. Thank you.
Yes. Thanks for your question of four launch strategy footwear and one of them is the same things happening on this.
This year we.
I am very excited about it on.
I know that one of our core competencies now is developing new categories and we've put a lot of tie on energy into this full of of strategy.
We've taken it very seriously and very excited about launching as of the launch on the fall and.
I do look forward to share more information with our with the one that we are closer to a lot of time.
Perhaps this time next quarter.
With regard to China store openings of opened three so far and we plan to open an additional three stores.
Before fall.
And as far as the Olympic games and the question around that.
We just don't we're not on official participant in Europe again, we certainly.
We certainly work with.
The various influencers as we do as part of our thermal marketing strategy.
Which has worked for us for the last 20 years.
And your next question comes from the line of of Barclays.
Good morning, Thank you for taking my question.
I was wondering if you could.
Paul.
Okay. Your normalized annual price increases in the world It sounds like in 2022 out there perhaps.
No more normal non luxury are also taking price.
What we have been in the past two years at luxury.
The continued to take the price is up to just wondering if there.
The more rare.
The kind of mainline price. So that's number one and then Jonathan just the housekeeping if you can quantify the SG&A said.
And then more.
On the product efficiency coming from the manufacturing facility.
Are you seeing the capacity utilization labor efficiency.
Like for like look great. Thank you very much.
Okay, so taking pricing first.
We've always said, we take price in the mid single digits.
That's something that we've done throughout the pandemic.
The fiscal 'twenty, one and fiscal 'twenty two it's an embedded part of what we do on how we do it.
The way that we manage on our gross margin and this year has been no different than that.
I think when it comes to SG&A I think the.
The.
If you take what we spent in.
In the first quarter on what we're talking about the second quarter Youll have a pretty good feel for the rate of growth and that's very much aligned with what we gave.
Cadence assumptions against the flow.
When I spoke last time.
Yeah.
In terms of product.
We're seeing the right sort of the evolution of AUC.
On the words.
The expecting on margin algorithm to stay very much on track.
Therefore, we are not seeing the AUC saw rising either faster or slower.
The <unk>.
We're seeing a very consistent pattern.
And that is a reflection of the efficiencies in some product categories, and reinvestments and others and the way that we manage gross margin.
And your next question comes from the lineup.
<unk>.
Thanks, Good morning.
Jonathan Edwards, hoping you could give us some color on the different levels of store productivity that's embedded in your guidance.
And as it pertains to China, and maybe some other markets that are starting to open up a little bit better what youre seeing from that traffic and productivity perspective.
And how that differs from what is embedded in the guidance.
Yes.
We are seeing.
Good levels of productivity.
I would say, particularly.
We've been very pleased of what we'd see.
In.
Canada since reopening.
America has been.
Quite solid throughout.
We've been very pleased with what we've been saying in China as well I think Hong Kong is its own animal so.
And on Europe is gradually.
It.
Canada from a very different place.
Frankly, we sold the U K, we opened in.
In mid April and then the rest of Europe in fits and starts thereafter.
What we're looking for.
Going forward as a gradual and progressive improvement in loans.
And the.
Several of the productivity and that's what we say.
And your next question comes from the line of Brooklyn Lumps of Goldman Sachs.
Hi, Thank you and good morning, and thanks for taking the question I was wondering if you could provide an update on some of the investments that youre, making this year into both the brand and the additional consumer experience.
<unk>.
What about those investments are fueling some of your optimism and confidence on continuing the e-commerce momentum on penetration among from among both new and existing customers. Thank you.
Yes. Thank you for your question, we are continuing to prioritize the fact.
Our investments in our <unk>.
In our omni channel.
And our digital consumer experience. These are areas, which are very important to us. It's all it's also clear that.
This will all of this one which is approaching the state was really very little of the differentiation between physical retail.
E Commerce retail its just a matter of awareness of consumer wants to shop of when they want to shop on how they want to shop, but we wanted to provide them with the allows them to do that.
On their own schedule and give them the experience that they want to have.
Tailored specifically to them is with that in mind that we have.
The short term and longer term roadmap to continue to invest a significant amount and being best in class of being an omni channel.
Provide an omnichannel ex.
Variance for our consumers.
On your final question comes from the line of Robyn <unk> from Bofa Securities.
Oh, Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my day.
My question is on APAC, which was actually up versus 2019 in the first quarter.
You guys mentioned that China was the significant contributor does that.
Why the rest of APAC is still down versus 2019. The could you also tell us about the Asia revenue pattern for <unk> versus the back half of this year is it similar to how you are kind of talking about overall DTC any color on that would be great. Thanks.
I will provide at the beginning of a.
Sure.
Okay.
We're only two years of three three by Christmas into all of China.
China experience.
And.
We've seen great performances from all stores in mainland China of them were continuing to see that growth both organic and through new stores, we're very pleased with how thats going.
And you rightly observed.
That's doing well the.
Of course, Hong Kong is.
As I've, just nellix side of the animal it's it's dependent on borders.
And on a bunch of all the factors.
I think when it comes to the rest of Asia, you've got to remember that's the century of wholesale business and so.
As far of different dynamics.
Both Japan and.
Upgrade of robotics is distribution markets.
Yes, all of the price Santa Rita I'll add to that debt.
I think.
The first and foremost on we view APAC is extra.
Extraordinary growth opportunity for this brand and number of weighted.
And.
There's a lot of runway for us there on the pandemic has affected every market in different ways for example, Japan, which is an established market.
It was affected last year, where we expect it to.
Two to rebound this year on better way.
Sure.
But overall APAC is strong and healthy.
And growing out of her.
Healthy rate and.
We are we are prepared.
Most of what the ahead of our setup the chapter on sort of demand.
Environment that may exist in any part of the world.
And now back over to management for closing remarks.
Okay.
Thank you all for joining us today I have never been as I said at the end today about our business our ability to strategically expand across categories has been proven.
The amount of excitement and strong demand across all markets as.
As much as COVID-19 has transformed the world. This has been a transformational year for our business as well and we look forward.
Tremendously towards the comp. Thank you very much on have a great day.
This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating you may now disconnect.
