Sales rose to $911 million from $899 million a year ago. The FactSet consensus was for EPS of 43 cents and sales of $902 million. The company said the Jack Daniels family of brands saw sales fall 2% in the year to date, while premium bourbons sales rose 18%. The tequila portfolio's sales rose 2%. "Underlying net sales in Travel Retail continued to be significantly impacted by the continuation of COVID-19 related travel bans and restrictions," the company said in a statement. Brown-Forman is not offering guidance, given the uncertainty created by the pandemic. Shares were not active premarket, but have gained 13% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 29%.
