(Reuters) - Hugo Boss on Tuesday reported a double-digit rise in preliminary full-year sales and earnings, slightly ahead of its own guidance, citing ongoing solid demand after a brand revamp during 2022.
Currency-adjusted sales in 2022 rose 27% to a record level of 3.65 billion euros ($3.95 billion), the company said in a statement, while its operating profit (EBIT) increased 47% to 335 million euros.
The German fashion house had previously forecast sales in a range of 3.5 billion and 3.6 billion euros, with an increase in EBIT between 35% and 45%.
"Overall the buyside was already sitting ahead of Hugo Boss guidance," J.P. Morgan analyst Chiara Battistini wrote in a note, adding she would not expect to see further strength in the shares on Tuesday.
The stock was down 0.5% in early Frankfurt trade.
Hugo Boss said it would publish its final results for 2022 and its outlook for 2023 on March 9.
