Tupperware Brands Corporation recently announced second quarter 2016 operating results. Rick Goings, Chairman and CEO, commented, “Though down 4% with a 7 point hit from exchange rates, we grew sales by 3% in local currency – the high end of our range, with significant contributions from Brazil, China, Malaysia/Singapore and Tupperware Mexico.”
Goings continued, “When we look at the success of our large businesses in Brazil, up 22% in dollars and 41% in local currency, and Tupperware Mexico, down 2% in dollars but up 16% in local currency, it is proof of concept that the fundamentals of our business can generate significant returns from our 3.1 million global sales force.
This is most significantly the case in the opportunity rich emerging markets, including through leverage from our Vision 20/20 core execution initiatives.
