CEO Robert Humphreys says: “Delta Apparel’s activewear and lifestyle brands, including Salt Life, Soffe, and Delta, continue to demonstrate broad-based market appeal, fueling positive sales growth in our June quarter across both our Delta and Salt Life Group segments. Within our Delta Group, the Activewear business has enjoyed continued success in what remains a fluid macro environment. We further benefited from our diversified channels of distribution and our continued ability to increase our value-added services.
“Within our DTG2Go business, we finished the June quarter strong and anticipate continued momentum in upcoming quarters as our ‘on-demand’ digital first solution brings on additional production to meet demand and prepare for the upcoming holiday season.
“Our Salt Life Group delivered a strong sales quarter, with over 25% year-over-year growth driven by increased business in both our retail and wholesale channels of distribution. We further invested in Salt Life’s retail presence, opening two new locations during the third quarter in Boca Raton, Florida and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, bringing the Salt Life retail operations to 20 retail doors.”
Humphreys added the company expects continued momentum throughout the remainder of fiscal 2022.
