I think, by sales, any of Quiksilver's top 3 brands beats any of Billabong's other brands. DC and Roxy both do about $600m in sales each, per year. It's hard to tell how much BBG's other brands bring in since they don't do a breakdown by brand for their sales, but I would very seriously doubt it's anywhere near that figure.

Don't get me wrong, Tigerlily, RVCA and others may be great brands but I see them more as niche brands whereas Roxy, DC and Quiksilver are big and global brands.

Either way, I'd much rather be in Quiksilver's shoes than BBG's at the moment.
