    Edward Rosenfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We delivered strong results in the second quarter, with revenue and earnings growing robustly compared to the prior year and exceeding our expectations. While macro pressures have increased, making the near-term outlook more uncertain, we are confident that our core strengths – our people, brands and business model – leave us well-positioned to drive growth and create significant value for our stakeholders over the long term.”
