Strong growth in 2013 1st quarter Excellent performances by Lanvin, Jimmy Choo and Montblanc fragrances
Consolidated first-quarter sales reached €147.9 million, up 33.4% at current exchange rates and 34.5% at constant exchange rates from the same period in 2012.
This performance was driven not only by strong demand for all the portfolio's current brands and in particular Lanvin, Jimmy Choo and Montblanc, but also higher-than-expected sales for the Burberry brand's last quarter within the Group. Like-for-like sales (excluding Burberry) for the quarter came to €64.8 million, up 14.6% and in line with initial forecasts.
