June 15 (Reuters) - Canada Goose Holdings Inc shares surged to a record on Friday as growing sales in the luxury coat maker’s own stores and online channel helped double revenues and drive a surprise quarterly profit. |
The Toronto-based company reported net income of C$8.1 million ($6.17 million), or 7 Canadian cents a share, in the three months ended March 31, beating analyst expectations for a loss of 8 Canadian cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. It posted a loss of C$23.4 million, or 23 cents, a year earlier. |
Canada Goose shares surged almost 30 percent to a record high of C$78.01 at 9:32 a.m. in Toronto (1332 GMT), compared with a 0.3 percent decline in the benchmark stock index. |
The maker of $900 parkas has sought to expand margins by growing its direct-to-consumer business and relying less on struggling department stores. With its luxury pedigree helping cushion it from the retail industry’s struggles, the company started opening its own stores in 2016, and is setting up operations in China a... |
Gross margin expanded to 62.7 percent in the quarter from 54.4 percent a year earlier. |
Revenue from its direct-to-consumer segment jumped to C$95 million from C$36.5 million, while wholesale business doubled to almost C$30 million in the quarter from a year earlier. |
“GOOS’s better-than-expected top line and money-earning quarter in typically a smaller volume, money-losing quarter serves as another proofpoint for investors that the brand is well on its way to doubling revenues” by FY21, Brian Tunick, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, wrote in a note. |
Canada Goose said revenue grew 46 percent to C$591 million in the year ended March 31, and net income jumped to C$96 million, or 86 cents a share, from C$21.6 million, or 21 cents, a year earlier. |
It said it expects revenue to grow at least 20 percent and adjusted net income per share to increase least 25 percent in fiscal 2019, and expects to sustain that pace of growth for the two subsequent years. |
MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav's unbeaten 121-run partnership took India past the winning line as India defeated hosts Australia by 7 wickets to register their first-ever bilateral ODI series victory in Australian soil. India won the 3-match ODI series 2-1. Former captain MS Dhoni was back among the runs as he scored three ... |
Greetings and wishes started flowing in praise of India following the historic 2-1 series win. |
Solid team effort to win the ODI series as well and finish a tour filled with excellent cricket. |
Now that is the performance of a champion. MS Dhoni is man of the series. Brilliant. |
Wonderful calm, composed innings from Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav playing a very important hand. So India do the double, win the test and the one-day series as well. This has been a very fruitful Australia tour for Team India . |
After drawing flak for playing out a slow inning of 51 from 96 balls in the first ODI, Dhoni turned the tides in the very next match as he partnered with captain Virat Kohli to bring India back in the series in Adelaide where they were chasing a stiff target of 299 runs. And in Melbourne, the former-captain played the ... |
This was 70th ODI half-century. He also becomes the fourth Indian cricketer to score 1000 runs in ODIs in Australia after Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. |
Earlier, Yuzvendra Chahal took a five-for as he registered the joint-best bowling figures in ODIs equalling Ajit Agarkar's 6-42, to bundle out Australia for 230. |
Peter Handscomb put up a fighting 58 while centurion from the previous match Shaun Marsh managed to get 39. Chahal was adjudged Player of the match. |

"Homeland" toppled "Mad Men" to win the top drama prize as the Emmy Awards favoured politics and 21st century tensions over shows set in bygone eras. |
Modern Family, ABC's show about the chaotic lives of three related couples and their children, won best comedy series for a third year and supporting actor Emmys for Eric Stonestreet and Julie Bowen, as well as a directing award. |
"I am praying that everyone doesn't get sick of us," joked executive producer Steve Levitan. |
Backstage, Stonestreet joked, "We know that eventually it will not be this way and you will hate us all." |
Homeland, a post 9/11 psychological thriller about a returning Iraq war hero turned by al-Qaeda, won best drama after one season on cable channel Showtime. It also took home trophies for best writing and best acting for its two leads, Claire Danes and Damian Lewis, for a total of six including technical awards. |
Homeland, said to be one of President Barack Obama's favourite TV programmes, brought to an end the reign of AMC's stylish 1960s advertising show Mad Men, which left Sunday's Emmy ceremony empty-handed. |
It was the biggest shutout in Emmy history for Mad Men, which had gone into Sunday's awards as joint top nominee with 17 nominations. |
Homeland also beat popular Downton Abbey, about aristocrats and their servants in an English country house, and HBO's medieval fantasy series Game of Thrones, in what was the first year that all the nominated best drama series came from cable television. |
Danes, who plays a bipolar CIA operative in a cat-and-mouse game with Lewis's sleeper agent, said she believed Homeland had succeeded with viewers and critics because it was neither preachy nor overtly political. |
"We are a little startled. I don't think anyone was expecting to be recognised this way starting off," Danes told reporters backstage. |
"[The show] doesn't take a very biased position [but] it does speak to our feelings of anxiety and unrest right now, in the sense that we're in a new era where the enemy is not so clear." |
Danes said it was "way cool" that Obama is a fan. |
"I think it speaks to the relevancy of the show, and it's hugely validating," she added. |
Homeland returns for a second season on September 30, with an opening episode set against the fictional bombing by Israel of Iranian nuclear facilities and the global tensions that ensue. |
American politics did figure strongly in other Emmy races. Game Change, the HBO story of Sarah Palin's entry into the 2008 US vice presidential race, was also a big winner, taking the Emmy for best miniseries, writing, directing and acting for star Julianne Moore. |
Backstage Moore thanked actress and Palin impersonator Tina Fey, and journalist Katie Couric for what she called their "incredible influence" on the 2008 elections. Couric interviewed Palin in 2008 in what became a cultural and political landmark after the encounter was spoofed by Fey on Saturday Night Live. |
In what was seen as a tight race for lead comedy actress, Julia Louis-Dreyfus beat Girls star Lena Dunham, Amy Poehler, New Girl Zooey Deschanel and Tina Fey with her turn as a frustrated US vice president in the wickedly satirical HBO political show Veep. |
"It's a bit mystifying to me because people say this show is a comedy, but I don't see anything funny about me being vice president of the United States," the former Seinfeld star quipped. |
With the presidential elections less than two months away, Emmy show host Jimmy Kimmel got the festivities off to a biting and topical start in an opening monologue. |
Kimmel joked that US television was "the only American product the Chinese haven't figured out how to make". |
As for the sprawling grandeur of Downton Abbey, Kimmel quipped, "It really gives you a sense of what it must have been like to grow up in [US Republican presidential candidate] Mitt Romney's house." |
Two and A Half Men's Jon Cryer was the surprise winner in the comedy actor category, beating fellow CBS nominee and double Emmy winner Jim Parsons of geeky show The Big Bang Theory. |
Stand-up comedian Louis CK went home with his first two Emmys – one for writing for his FX show Louie, in which he also stars as a divorced dad, and another for directing his own TV stand-up special. |
Oscar-winning actor Kevin Costner won an Emmy in his first role for television. Costner starred in the popular History channel miniseries Hatfields & McCoys, about a legendary feud between two 19th century families, while Tom Berenger took a supporting actor Emmy for his role in the show. |
"I'm a writer-orientated actor and when I find the writing, I don't care what medium it sits," Costner told reporters on Sunday of his move to television. |
The Amazing Race won for the best reality series Emmy for the ninth time, while Tom Bergeron won best reality host for Dancing with the Stars. |
Are you a scientist? Would you like to make some money? Well! It’s your lucky day, because Robert De Niro and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. are offering a cash prize to any scientist who can prove to them that vaccines are safe. |
Kennedy has been a known anti-vaxxer for ages, and is apparently even going to be on Donald Trump‘s special vaccine commission, and De Niro, whose son has autism, has been on this train for a while as well. Last March, he notably defended the inclusion of an anti-vaxxer documentary called Vaxxed! in the Tribeca Film Fe... |
I am taking this a little personally, frankly, because I love Robert De Niro. I especially loved him when he offered to punch Donald Trump in the face. That was so great! Remember how great that was? Also Goodfellas and The Godfather Part II, and The Deer Hunter? But also the time he offered to punch Donald Trump in th... |
I sincerely hope that some nice scientist is able to sit him down, and explain vaccines to him, and let him know that his concerns have all been resolved, and convince him to not be so terrible about this, because I think we, as a people, deserve the best possible De Niro. |
Iconic Bird Rock July 4 Parade to march on in La Jolla! |
A scene from the 2017 Bird Rock Independence Day parade, complete with homemade floats. The 2018 parade begins 10 a.m. Wednesday, July 4 at Beaumont Avenue and Camino de la Costa. |
To ensure the Bird Rock Community Fourth of July parade remains part of the Murfey Family Legacy, the Murfey (Construction) Company will continue to coordinate and sponsor this local slice of American pie. |
This year's theme — "Tomorrowland: A Race thru Space" — has its eyes on the future. Registration and float entry is set for 9:15 a.m. Wednesday, July 4, 2018 at Beaumont Avenue and Camino de la Costa in La Jolla , with a shotgun parade start at 10 a.m. |
"Show up early! Domo Arigoto Mr. Roboto," said Scott Murfey. |
"For decades, the La Jolla community has gathered alongside neighbors, family and friends on the Fourth of July to enjoy the Bird Rock Parade down Beaumont Street," he said. "With hundreds of bikes and small floats flooding the streets, this quintessential small town celebration has spanned generations for La Jollans." |
Now in its 39th year, "family" is once again at the heart of the parade with Murfey brothers Scott and Russ working behind the scenes to coordinate the activities. |
"The Fourth of July parade is a great opportunity to connect with old friends and neighbors," said Russ Murfey. "For us, there is the obvious personal connection to the parade, but more importantly, is what it means to the community as a whole." |
Started in 1980 by the brothers' parents, Barbara and Buddy Murfey working with other Bird Rock parents, the parade initially consisted of just a few families, but has steadily grown ever since. |
A new large trophy for "best float" was donated by last year's winner (and lifelong parade participants), the Oliver Family. |
As said Josh Oliver explained: "Since its inception in 1980, we have been fortunate to be part of the Fourth of July Parade. This event has become a creative bonding experience for all participants. Every year, our family looks forward to collaborating on the float and jointly seeing it through to fruition. This is wha... |
There will be additional trophies awarded for other outstanding floats and parade participants, and the winning float also has the opportunity to select next year's parade theme. |
For 2018, in addition to the parade, there will be plenty of food and activities, carnival games and photo booths at the end of the parade route in the Methodist Church parking lot, 6063 La Jolla Blvd. |
As always, there is no entrance fee, however, donations are appreciated as they are the backbone of funding for this celebration. |
• Editor's Note: As a reminder, there will NOT be Independence Day fireworks at La Jolla Cove this year on Wednesday, July 4, 2018. |

In the second part, physician Michelle May, author of "Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat" (Greenleaf Book Group, 2009), shares tips for what she calls mindful holiday eating. I've elaborated on a few of them with some insights from my own experience. |
Combine well: 1 (18.25-ounce) box cake mix (no pudding added), 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Add one of the following to the batter: 6 ounces miniature chocolate chips, 6 ounces butterscotch chips, 6 ounces peanut butter chips, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, 1/2 cup raisins, 1 grated apple, 1 cup chopped nuts, 1/2 cup ... |
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Drop batter by rounded rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes. |
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 (18.25 ounce) box chocolate cake mix, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine, 1/4 cup chocolate syrup, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Stir in 1/2 cup slivered almonds and 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips. |
Divide dough in half. On ungreased baking sheets, shape each portion into a 12- by 2-inch log. Bake at 350 F for 30 to 35 minutes, until firm to the touch. Cool for 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and carefully cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices, using a serrated knife. Place cut side down on ungreased baking ... |
In a small heavy saucepan over low heat, melt 1 (10- to 12-ounce) package vanilla or white chips and 2 tablespoons shortening. Drizzle over biscotti; allow to stand until hardened. Store in an airtight container. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen biscotti. |
Editor's note: When I make biscotti, I line the pans with parchment. This makes it easy to transfer the logs to the cutting board. |
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray 2 cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. |
In a large mixing bowl, combine well 1 box Duncan Hines Double Fudge Decadent Brownie Mix and 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut. |
Using a wooden spoon, mix in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons water, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon coconut extract (optional) and the contents of the fudge packet in the brownie mix until the dry ingredients are moistened. The dough will be stiff. |
Shape into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on prepared cookies sheets and flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set (centers will be slightly soft). Transfer to wire rack and cool completely. Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder if desired. Makes 3 dozen macaroon... |
Pay attention to your body's signals. Most of us can tell when we are full, but we don't always pay attention for a number of reasons or rationalizations: It tastes too good to stop eating; we were raised not to leave food on our plates; you might hurt someone's feelings; eating is easier than making conversation; othe... |
"Think of your appetite as an expense account," suggests May. "Decide how much you want to spend on appetizers, entr�e and dessert." Let dessert be your reward for not overindulging in the appetizer. |
Step away from the food. Position yourself far from the buffet table so you will have to make your way through the room and around other guests to get more food. The farther you have to go and the more people you have to pass, the more likely you will be distracted before you get to the food. |
Be selective at a buffet. Eat only those foods that you consider worth the calories. Skip the store-bought goodies you can get any time. Instead, choose the ones that you can't get elsewhere and savor them. |
Avoid mindless grazing that leaves you unsatisfied. If a food doesn't taste as good as you expected, stop eating it and choose something else. |
"Be cautious of obligatory eating -- eating just because it's on your plate, you paid for it, it's free, or someone made it for you," says May. "If you're concerned about hurting someone's feelings, ask for the recipe or a small portion to take home with you for another meal." |
Before refilling your plate or asking for another helping, try to think back to how you felt the last time you ate too much and ahead to how you want to feel when you are finished. |
At restaurants, order appetizer-sized portions or co-order with a dining companion. Then concentrate on the company and the conversation so you won't feel cheated. |
Don't use exercise as punishment for eating. Look for opportunities to move more, like walking the neighborhood to enjoy the holiday lights. |

Tampa Bay Lightning star Steven Stamkos returned home Thursday, three days after suffering a broken right tibia in a game against the Boston Bruins. |
Stamkos had surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital on Tuesday to stabilize the leg. |
"Nice to be back home in Tampa," Stamkos said via his Twitter account. "Can't thank all the staff at Mass General enough for all their hard work and dedication the past 4 days!" |
The Lightning said Tuesday his rehab will begin immediately but have not outlined a timetable for his return to play. The forward was tied for the NHL lead in goals (14) and points (23) when he was injured. |
Nice to be back home in tampa. Can't thank all the staff at Mass General enough for all their hard work and dedication the past 4 days ! |
From the hubbub surrounding the privatisation of the British government's defence research service, Qinetiq, last week, one statement stopped me dead. Lord Drayson, the minister for defence procurement, asserted that it was a "good model for future privatisations". Three things hit me. The first was that Lord Drayson i... |
As everyone now knows, Friday's flotation of Qinetiq raised the value of the shareholding acquired by Carlyle, the US investment firm, by around 840%. Carlyle, whose board is graced, among other eminences, by former prime minister John Major, bought its stake at auction in 2002 when the stockmarket had floundered. It p... |
As it was with the four directors of Rover (who walked off with £40m), it is hard to see what they did to deserve it. As Lord Drayson's Labour predecessor, Lord Gilbert, pointed out: "All the value was built up by public servants using public money. I consider it a complete outrage ... a scandal." In a letter to the Da... |
Lord Drayson's boss, the defence secretary John Reid, claimed that the company is worth so much "because of the value that has been added there" by Carlyle's management. "This is precisely why [we] brought them in." But if the government knew that Carlyle would make so much money, why did it allow the company to buy it... |
One could argue that much of Qinetiq's value was added not by the brilliance of its directors, or even of its engineers and scientists, but by a huge contract with the Ministry of Defence, signed on the very day (February 28 2003) that Carlyle paid for its stake. The "Long-Term Partnering Agreement", under which Qineti... |
To anyone who has studied the private finance initiative, this story - of guaranteed assets and reduced liabilities - will be familiar. Qinetiq's sale carries fewer public dangers than the part-privatisation of our schools, hospitals and whatever else remains of the public sector, as the potential liabilities are much ... |
