By GlobalDataLevi Strauss president and CEO Chip Bergh said: “We generated strong momentum in the second quarter, with the accelerated recovery of our revenues and delivered growth across all regions and channels.
“This was underscored by the strength of our brands and our ability to capitalise on evolving denim trends and a continued shift to casualisation.
“As we move into the second half of the year, we are focused on emerging stronger with our strategic priorities of leading with our enduring brand, accelerating our direct-to consumer connections and diversifying across categories, channels and geographies.”

The company expects to deliver an adjusted diluted EPS of between $0.72 and $0.76 in the second half, and between $1.29 and $1.33 for the full year.
