Converse revenue for the quarter was $357 million, down 26%.

Gross margin fell 440 basis points to 40.3%, mainly due to higher discounting and channel mix shifts. Net income dropped 86% to $0.2 billion, with diluted earnings per share at $0.14.

Operating expenses rose slightly, with demand creation up 15% and operating overhead down 3%. The effective tax rate increased to 33.6% from 13.1% a year earlier.
