Operating profit at Italian luxury group Moncler beat analysts’ expectations for the first half of the year, thanks in part to an 11% increase in revenues that were lifted by its performance in Asia.
The Milan-based group, known for its puffer jackets, said on Wednesday its half-year consolidated revenues totalled 1.23 billion euros ($1.34 billion), in line with a company-provided consensus.
Revenues at Moncler, the principal brand which accounts for over 80% of group sales, rose 5% in the second quarter, driven by strong growth in Japan, supported mostly by tourists, and by a positive performance on the Chinese mainland, the company said.
The group’s other brand, Stone Island, reported a decline in revenues in the second quarter, mainly due to the weak performance of its wholesale channel.
First half operating profit totalled 259 million euros, with a 21% margin on revenues, above expectations of 247 million euros.
