International sales also rose from $644 million to $668 million over the same time period. Net earnings for the quarter rose from $198 million in the same quarter a year ago to $209 million.

Looking forward to the third quarter, the electronics retailer expects to earn 75–80 cents per share on revenue of $9.3 billion to $9.4 billion. Wall Street analysts were modeling the company to earn 65 cents per share on revenue of $9.0 billion.

For the full fiscal year 2018, the company expects to show an enterprise revenue growth of around 4 percent.
