“Our strong order book has continued to improve since the end of the first quarter, including nice gains in our international business. As such, we now expect second-quarter 2021 revenue will exceed 2019 levels, and we are reiterating confidence in our latest full-year revenue outlook of US$2.24m to $2.3m.”

This outlook assumes no meaningful deterioration of current market conditions related to the Covid-19 pandemic during the remainder of 2021.

For the first quarter, Wolverine’s reported revenue was $510.7m, up 16.3% versus the prior year. Net earnings amounted to $38.4m, compared to $12.8m last time.
