Hermes International said Friday that earnings rose in the first
half of the year, helped by the rebound of wholesale and in-store
sales in Asia .
The French luxury fashion company said it made 2.23 billion
euros ($2.45 billion) in profit in the first six months of the year
compared with EUR1.64 billion a year prior, on sales that grew 25%
at constant currency rates to EUR6.70 billion.
Its closely-watched recurring operating income grew 28% in the
period to EUR2.95 billion, Hermes said.
Revenue was driven by sales increases at both in stores and in
wholesale activities, supported by the rebound in travel retail,
the company said.
Hermes said the strongest growth was in Asia, helped by Chinese
New Year celebrations, and by momentum in Singapore, Thailand,
Australia and Korea.
The company backed its medium-term goal for revenue growth at
constant exchange rates.
