In 2017 we strengthened the foundation for future growth with several strategic initiatives across our business. However, we also faced an increasingly challenging retail environment in the US. Still, all regions contributed to growth. EMEA and Asia Pacific both delivered double-digit growth, driven by continued solid momentum throughout the store net- work as well as a strong online performance.
