Here is some information on seasonality from the 10-K. Note that Q2 which was just reported had outstanding earnings and is a seasonally weak quarter!

"Historically, the Company's sales and operating results fluctuate by quarter, with the greatest sales occurring in the Company's first and third fiscal quarters. It is in these quarters that the Company's Fall and Spring product lines, which traditionally have had the highest volume of net sales, are shipped to customers, with revenues recognized at the time of shipment. As a result, the Company experiences significant variability in its quarterly results and working capital requirements. Moreover, delays in shipping can cause revenues to be recognized in a later quarter, resulting in further variability in such quarterly results."
