British fashion firm Burberry's retail revenue at £706 mn in Q3 FY24

Notably, comparable store sales experienced a decline of 4 per cent, contrasting with a 1 per cent increase in the same quarter of the previous year. However, the contribution from space grew 2 per cent.

Regionally, the results were mixed. In the Asia Pacific region, Burberry saw an increase in comparable store sales by 3 per cent. This positive performance was offset by declines in other key markets, with sales in Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa (EMEIA) dropping by 5 per cent, and a more pronounced decrease of 15 per cent in the Americas.

“We are continuing to deliver the transition to our new modern British luxury creative expression for Burberry which started appearing in our stores in early Autumn. We are still in the early stages of executing on this, which has become more challenging against the backdrop of slowing luxury demand. We experienced a further deceleration in our key December trading period, and we now expect our full year results to be below our previous guidance. We remain confident in our strategy to realise Burberry’s potential and we are committed to achieving our £4 billion revenue ambition,” said Jonathan Akeroyd, chief executive officer.
