Prada Q3 revenue rises in a slowing luxe market
Italian luxury group Prada reported a 1% organic growth in revenue for the third quarter of the year. This performance reflects resilience in a challenging luxury market environment and the acquisition of Versace. Growth was supported by positive ...
The organic performance excludes Versace, which Prada acquired in December last year. The group said the brand's integration was progressing "on track", ahead of the debut of the first collection by new creative director Pieter Mulier next year.
Including Versace, group revenue totalled 1.49 billion ($1.67 billion) in the quarter, matching an analyst consensus compiled by Visible Alpha. The result was supported by continued growth in the Americas, albeit at a slower pace compared to the previous quarter.
Sales in the Asia-Pacific region were stable, as a subdued traffic environment in mainland China was offset by continued positive trends elsewhere in the region, the company said. Revenue in Europe remained weak. Miu Miu's retail sales fell 3% in the quarter.
"The third quarter unfolded against a particularly challenging industry backdrop. In this context, the group showed good resilience, underpinned by brand desirability and strong retail execution," chief executive Andrea Guerra said in a statement.
