Paris, 25 October 2011

Philippe Santi, Executive Vice President, added:

"Expenditures made for all brands will result in a more substantial marketing and advertising budget of nearly €95 million for fiscal 2011 that should contribute to sustained growth in market share over the medium term".

Philippe Benacin, Chairman and Chief Executive, commented: "The launch of the Burberry Body line has proceeded under extremely favorable conditions with strong visuals in all markets on a scale without precedent by the company to date and considerable confidence by our major retailers. If one factors in the positive growth momentum for Jimmy Choo and Montblanc fragrances, full-year revenue for 2011 is thus expected to reach the €360 -€370 million range".
