International net sales increased 30% . Looking at specific segments, total billings in the U.S. Girl segment increased 22%, primarily driven by growth in direct-to-consumer billings, partially offset by declines in proprietary retail channels and the impact of permanent store closures.
Reported gross margin increased to 46.8% from 43.0% in the prior year’s first quarter , while adjusted gross margin increased to 47.0% from 43.5%. The increase in reported and adjusted gross margin was primarily due to fixed cost absorption gains associated with the high sales growth in the quarter and savings from the Optimize for Growth initiative, partially offset by higher input costs in cost of goods sold.
