Blyth, Inc. reported net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 decreased approximately 25% to $157.8 million.
Chief executive officer Robert B. Goergen, Jr. noted, “PartyLite has done an excellent job of managing costs, as second quarter profits are only slightly below last year despite a 6% reported sales decline. They continue to focus on a multi-channel strategy, and our investments in technology are helping PartyLite consultants grow their businesses through ecommerce and improved shipping methods. PartyLite introduced the 2014 holiday catalog to North American consultants at its annual conference in late July with great success. This year’s catalog includes an exclusive line of products designed in collaboration with Jonathan Adler, the iconic potter-turned-home furnishings designer, as well as new fragrances in our popular PartyLite’s SmartScents and Brighter World candles.
"Based on the enthusiastic response of our leaders and consultants during this rollout," Goergen continued, "we expect these products to drive worldwide sales for the remainder of the year.”
