Management Discussion
- •We delivered reported net sales of $3.2 billion for the nine months ended January 31, 2024, an increase of 1% compared to the same period last year. The increase was driven by favorable price/mix and the positive effect of acquisitions and divestitures, largely offset by lower volumes. An estimated net decrease in distributor inventories negatively impacted reported net sales.
- ◦From a brand perspective, reported net sales growth was driven by the recently acquired brands, Diplomático and Gin Mare, and the growth of New Mix and JDTA, largely offset by declines of JDTW.
- ◦From a geographic perspective, emerging markets and Travel Retail contributed to reported net sales growth, partially offset by declines in developed international and the United States.
