Prada’s full year profits surge by 44%
The Italian-based group ended 2023 with a 17% growth in revenue and a 44% rise in profits, as compared to the previous year, boosted by the desirability of its Prada and Miu Miu brands
“We have successfully delivered on our ambitions in 2023, with excellent performance achieved consistently through the year, as brand desirability grows stronger fuelled by a combination of product, communication, and retail initiatives. Retail productivity and profitability improved for the third consecutive year, thanks to once again strong double-digit, like-for-like growth”, commented Andrea Guerra, Group Chief Executive Officer of Prada.
