During the quarter, MK Retail revenue increased 1.1% to $846.3 million, driven in large part by 32 net new store openings. MK Wholesale revenue decreased 8.9% to $430.8 million and on a constant currency basis decreased 10.5%. And MK Licensing revenue increased 12.3% to $48.3 million.
Looking ahead to the fiscal fourth quarter, the company expects to see EPS in the range of $0.50 to $0.55 and revenues between $1.11 billion and $1.13 billion, with comparable sales declining in the low single digits. The consensus estimates call for $0.59 in EPS and $1.14 billion in revenue.

We are pleased with our third quarter performance, which delivered better than expected results and saw the successful integration of Jimmy Choo into our luxury group. The Michael Kors brand continued to make progress on Runway 2020 initiatives across product innovation, brand engagement and customer experience. Our innovative fashion luxury product offerings for the holiday season created excitement among consumers.
