Delta Galil Industries, Ltd.* the global manufacturer and marketer of branded and private label intimate apparel, leisurewear, activewear and denim products for men, women and children, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended 30 September 2022.
Isaac Dabah, CEO of Delta Galil, stated:
“We are pleased to report another quarter of record sales and EBIT—particularly given current challenging economic conditions. Demonstrating the continued strength of our diversified business model, our results were driven by sales growth in constant currency in the Private Label, 7 For All Mankind and Delta Israel segments, while sales in our Brands segment and Other—which mainly includes the results of Bare Necessities—were negatively impacted by global demand headwinds, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and inflation pressures.”
“Importantly, during the quarter we remained focused on delivering our core value proposition to our customers and shareholders. We already began integrating recently-acquired sustainable underwear brand Organic Basics, and we plan to grow the business globally and into new categories in the second quarter of 2023. We continue to strengthen our digital expertise, while we strategically expand our businesses in order to best position us to develop the most innovative, high-quality products for our customers worldwide.”
“As the retail industry continues to face a difficult economic environment, we believe that Delta Galil’s strong value proposition, diversified business model and reputation for innovation will enable us to successfully navigate challenging market conditions.”
