Positive Outlook
- Company now expects constant currency revenues to increase approximately 34% to 36% to last year on a 53-week reported basis.

- Operating margin for the third quarter is expected in the range of 13.0% to 13.5%, roughly in-line with last year, with modest gross margin expansion partly offset by a shift in the timing of investments from the second quarter, increased freight expenses, normalizing channel mix shift compared to the prior year's COVID disruptions and about 30 basis points of negative impact from foreign currency.
- The full year Fiscal 2022 tax rate is now expected to be approximately 21% to 22%, assuming a continuation of current tax laws.
