Our global momentum continued in the second quarter with over 30% revenue growth and strong operating margin expansion.

All segments, geographies and channels achieved strong double-digit growth led by another exceptional quarter from Salomon Soft Goods, a strong Arc'teryx omnichannel, and a Wilson Tennis 360 acceleration.

We manage our portfolio sports and outdoor brands that's very unique in the marketplace and all three of our primary growth engines, Arc'teryx, Salomon Soft Goods and the Wilson Tennis 360, are still relatively small with significant room to grow.

First I will recap key highlights from our three segments starting with technical apparel.

Arc'teryx delivered another great quarter with broad-based strength across regions, channels and categories including another exceptional performance in Women's.
