Ferragamo reports solid first half
The Italian-based luxury group posted revenue and profits growth in the first half of the year, as compared to the same period of last year, "despite the enduring impact of the pandemic in China"
In the first semester of 2022, Ferragamo reported a revenue increase of 20.3% at current exchange rates (by 17.0% at constant exchange rates), reaching 630 million euros, on a comparable basis to the same period of last year. The group's net profit in this period totalled 62 million euros, which indicates a growth of 85.2%, as compared to the first half of 2021.

"We are pleased with the continued growth of revenues and profitability in the second quarter, despite the enduring impact of the pandemic in China. All other geographies have shown positive performances. We made excellent progress on our strategic priorities and will accelerate our investment in the second half of the year, as planned, to build strength in platforms and regions to support our growth agenda, whilst remaining mindful of the more volatile and challenging macroeconomic backdrop. Our recently announced partnership with Farfetch provides us with a strong platform of technical capabilities and target audience to fuel our digital growth ambition", commented Marco Gobbetti, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Salvatore Ferragamo.
