Including revenues from the acquired imaging business, revenues for the trailing four quarters were up 8 percent.

Products that drove this growth included the launch of Black Diamond climbing shoes, our new ropes line — a category we introduced last fall — as well as updates to our harness, carabiner and helmet lines.”

“The loss on the retail side was unpleasant, but not as heart-stopping as it might appear,” he said. “In truth, almost all aspects of our retail business are running well: Our sourcing is expanding (we are up to 3 million products and have a clear path to having 5-10 times that many); our logistics operations are efficient; our site technology is intelligent and is becoming more so through our work in machine learning; our branding efforts are showing better responsiveness than they have in years; and our digital marketing channels (with one exception) are run by quants who have finely tuned them.”
