Milan - January 30th, 2020

TOD'S S.p.A. - Group's sales totalled 916.1 million Euros in FY 2019. Retail: +6.3%. Roger

Vivier grew double digit: +15.6%

The Board of Directors approved FY 2019 preliminary sales figures

The Board of Directors of Tod's S.p.A., the Italian company listed on the Milan Stock Exchange and holding of the luxury goods group of the same name operating in luxury and quality shoes, accessories and apparel with the Tod's, Hogan, Fay and Roger Vivier brands, today approved the Group's preliminary sales figures for the fiscal year 2019.

Message from the Group's Chairman and CEO

Diego Della Valle, Chairman and CEO of the Group, commented as follows:

"The results of the last quarter showed an improvement in the revenue trend, despite the negative effects regarding the Hong Kong market. We are starting to register the first positive signs of the strategy adopted at the time. We consider an absolute priority to protect the great quality of our products, the refined Italian lifestyle and, increasingly, the creative component, that attracts new consumers, who love to surround themselves with special things.

The competition in the luxury sector is getting stronger, and therefore, we must be able at having always special and desirable products. The arrival of the new Creative Director of the Tod's brand, which will coordinate the work of the style office, will serve to emphasize these codes.

For the time being, it is also essential to continue to invest heavily to be competitive and to support the brand awareness of our brands, especially in consideration of the increasing importance of the new markets, which require great attention. Our goal is to quickly create an Omni-channel group model, which allows us to sell products through our direct distribution, the best e-tailers and our department store partners. The contribution of classic wholesale will be less and less important for us and we are prudently trying to decrease it. Even if this strategy will temporarily reduce the turnover, we believe it is the right thing to do, in order to be able to completely control the distribution policy of our group, worldwide.

Excluding any repercussions, currently unpredictable, of the ongoing epidemic, we believe that we can optimistically look at the current year, confident that the path followed is the right one."

In the current year, currency fluctuations gave a positive contribution, particularly to the Tod's and Roger Vivier brands, which have the greatest presence abroad. At constant exchange rates, meaning by using the average exchange rates of 2018, including the related effects of hedging contracts, sales would have been 905.7 million Euros.

In 2019, domestic sales amounted to 260.7 million Euros; the performance in the fourth quarter of the year was positive, with an improvement in the trend of both distribution channels.

In the rest of Europe, the Group's revenues totaled 237.6 million Euros; the fourth quarter of the year was positive, thanks to the contribution of retail.

In the Americas sales amounted to 70.6 million Euros; also in this region, the fourth quarter registered a positive performance, with an improvement in results on both the distribution channels.

The Group's sales in Greater China totaled 215.1 million Euros, up 2.3% from 2018. The positive results recorded in Mainland China, which represents more than 60% of this region, were offset by the sharp slowdown in the Hong Kong market, due to well-known political tensions.

Finally, in the area "Rest of the World" the Group's revenues were 132.1 million Euros, up 0.8% from 2018.

Preliminary and unaudited figures

In 2019, retail revenues totalled 645.9 million Euros, up 6.3% from 2018, and represent more than 70% of the Group's turnover. On a homogeneous basis1, the increase in sales of this channel was 4.4% in the fourth quarter of the year, thanks to the double-digit growth of e-commerce and the contribution of the new openings.

  • As already mentioned in the previous press releases, with the acquisition of Italiantouch, starting from October 1st, 2018, the relative part of the e-commerce revenues has been accounted for in retail revenues, and no longer in the wholesale channel. Consequently, in the first nine months of 2019, the comparison of revenues by distribution channel was uneven, while, starting from the fourth quarter, figures return to be comparable.

The Same Store Sales Growth (SSSG) rate, calculated at constant exchange rates as the worldwide average of sales growth rates registered by the DOS network, is -4.0% in the year, progressively improving in the last months. At reported rates, this figure improves by more than 100 bps.

As of December 31st, 2019 the Group's distribution network was composed by 290 DOS and 115 franchised stores, compared to 284 DOS and 120 franchised stores as of December 31st, 2018.

Revenues to third parties totaled 270.2 million Euros; the double-digit decline is mainly due to the weakness of the domestic and European markets.
