Revenue rose 41% to $1.5 billion from $1.06 billion a year earlier. That slightly topped estimates of $1.48 billion.Wholesale revenue grew 45% year over year, driven by strong demand in the U.S. and Europe, the company said. Direct-to-consumer sales rose 34% from 2020 levels, and climbed 3% on a two-year basis, as more shoppers visited Levi's own brick-and-mortar stores for denim and lounge wear.

The lingering health crisis is still shuttering stores around the world. Levi said roughly 10% of its company-operated stores were closed during the latest quarter, primarily in Asia. Roughly 4% remain shut, it said.
