Brand-wise, Tod’s witnessed a 3.3 percent dip in its namesake lable’s sales to 498.7 million Euros while Roger Vivier fetched 3.2 percent lesser than 2017 to 173.5 million Euros.
Fay’s sales also dropped 3.5 percent to 61.3 million Euros.
Hogan, however, remained positive with a meager 1.1 percent growth in sales to 206.1 million Euros.
The fashion house’s full-year Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) fell to 118.3 million Euros compared to 160.4 million Euros in the previous fiscal.
“FY 2018 results reflect the industrial plan underway and the strategic decision to invest significant financial resources to support future revenue growth,” said Tod’s Chief Executive Diego Della Valle.
The CEO remained optimistic as he shared that assortments in stores are getting a “very positive” reaction from shoppers.
However, it remains to be seen if the positive reaction turns fortune for the company in the time to come.
