Amid a weak retail environment, Coach, Inc. (COH), the designer and marketer of fine accessories and gifts, recently reported first-quarter 2010 results that topped expectations. Coach’s quarterly earnings of 44 cents a share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 39 cents, but remained flat compared to the prior-year quarter. The better-than-expected result was buoyed by the successful launch of the Poppy collection, which includes a new line of handbags, footwear, watches and other accessories at a comparatively low price.

For instance, the frozen cheesecake manufacturer was the sole owner of Coach handbags and Hanes underwear. These two subsidiaries obviously didn’t make much sense to the company. That’s why – during two separate transactions – Sara Lee’s management and board of directors divested them through a process known as a spinoff.
