Earnings Report
Burberry share price jumped 2% on Thursday after the company reported better-than-expected half-year results. Burberry is a British luxury fashion house set up in 1856. The company designs and distributes ready-to-wear, including trench coats, leather accessories, and footwear. The company also runs in Milan, Shanghai, Seoul, Hong Kong, Paris, Dubai, Barcelona, New York, Ginza, and Leeds.
According to the results posted on Thursday, Europe recorded a strong recovery in the half-year as mainland China continued to improve. Burberry’s revenues climbed 11% year on year to £1.35 billion between April and September, beating market forecasts. Sales rose 5%, stripping out the impact of the stronger US dollar.
Adjusted operating profit jumped 21% in the first half of the year to £238 million. This was helped by a 150 basis point boost to adjusted operating margins which climbed 17.7%. Europe performed strongly recording a 25% jump in the second quarter, boosted by a rise in tourists from the US, the Middle East, and locations in Asia outside Mainland China.
Burberry kept near-term guidance to the end of its 2024 fiscal year of high-single-digit revenue growth and a margin of around 20%. The company’s CEO, Jonathan Akeroyd, said that the company is aiming at delivering £5 billion in annual revenue in the long term.
