Tourism downturn affects Ferragamo results

16/11/2016
High-end footwear and leathergoods brand Salvatore Ferragamo has reported revenues of just over €1 billion for the first nine months of 2016, which represents a small downturn, 0.7%, compared to the same period in 2015. With a figure of €216 million, the company’s gross profit for the nine-month period also registered a decline of 0.7%.

Salvatore Ferragamo attributed a year-on-year decline of 5% in sales revenues in Europe partly to “lower tourist flows, negatively impacted by dramatic events”

In North America and China, by contrast, sales rose by 3% year on year over the nine-month period.

As of 30 September 2016, the group’s network totalled 673 points of sale across the world, with 396 directly operated stores and 277 in either travel retail or third-party operated.
