Wholesale net sales went up by 7% for the month of April.
Dov Charney, Chairman and Chief Executive of American Apparel, said: "The decrease in internet sales in the month of April was due to a shift in the timing of certain promotions that will benefit the May online comparisons.

We believe the combination of better weather and a strong summer offering are having a positive impact on our overall results."
