LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Burberry Group (BRBY.L) reported retail revenue of 458
million pounds for the 13 weekds ended 29 June 2024 compared to 589 million
pounds, last year. Comparable store sales were down 21%, for the period. The
Group noted that if the slowdown trend continues through the current quarter, it
expects a first half operating loss, and fiscal 2025 operating profit to be
below current consensus. The Group anticipates wholesale revenue to decline by
around 25% in first half and decline by around 30% for the full year.

'Our first quarter performance is disappointing. The weakness we highlighted
coming into fiscal 2025 has deepened and if the current trend persists through
our second quarter, we expect to report an operating loss for our first half. In
light of current trading, we have decided to suspend dividend payments in
respect of fiscal 2025,' said Gerry Murphy, Chair of Burberry.

Burberry also announced the appointment of Joshua Schulman as Chief Executive
Officer and Executive Director, replacing Jonathan Akeroyd. Joshua was
previously CEO of American fashion brands Michael Kors.
