The third quarter of 1996 saw Saucony brand worldwide net sales increase by more than 11% over the comparable 1995 period.

Brookfield worldwide sales decreased by 13% in the third quarter of 1996, in comparison with the 1995 third quarter, reflecting a domestic sales reduction of 50%, offset in part by a foreign sales increase of 107%. The reduction in domestic sales was affected by more conservative credit risk management with some major accounts and the inability to place new product introductions into the marketplace because of continuing excessive inventory levels at retail. The increases overseas came primarily through the sale of Spalding licensed products into Latin America Latin America, the Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking, and French-speaking countries (except Canada) of North America, South America, Central America, and the West Indies.  and increased sales of Barbie Barbie
