‘Beast’ Makes it on An Earnings Call

Publicly traded Wolverine World Wide Inc. owns Merrell, title sponsor of the Skyrunner World Series, and they just had their Q2 earnings call (from the transcript):

In trail run, Merrell continues to entrench its position with its title sponsorship of the Skyrunner World Series, composed of elite trail running races around the globe in locations such as China, Japan, France, Italy, Spain, Chile, Argentina and right here in the U.S. Merrell-sponsored athletes currently claim seven spots in the top 15 men’s and women’s standings, including the top four ranked men in the series. In the marketplace, the brand’s premier franchise, the Agility Peak 6, continued to gain traction, up double digits globally versus the previous model’s comparable first season.

(Emphasis mine.)

Merrell grew 11.1% over last quarter. That shake out run we did must’ve gone well, I’d say.
