The Board of Directors approved FY 2015 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 full year 2015.


Message from the Group's Chairman and CEO


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

"The results released today are very good, especially considering the environment in which they were achieved. We are happy with the positive results registered by all our brands in all geographic areas, with the only exception of Hong Kong. As for the current year, we are confident on the strength of our collections, which are expressing better and better the brands' DNA, their quality and innovation. We are paying increasing attention to digital marketing and e.commerce. In addition, the acquisition of the Roger Vivier brand is a very good operation for the Group (which, as you know, was approved on January 13th, 2016 during the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting with the almost unanimous vote of the minority shareholders), which allows us to think of a medium-term strategy, which will bring us great results."


Comments to the Group's sales


Consolidated sales were 1,037.0 million Euros in FY 2015, up 7.4% from FY 2014.

In Q4 2015, sales totalled 250.1 million Euros, up 11.4% from Q4 2014, thus showing a visible acceleration from the 9 month performance, which is even more noteworthy if considering the challenging market environment.

At reported rates, all the brands, product categories, regions (excepted Hong Kong) and distribution channels registered positive performances.

The Same Store Sales Growth (SSSG) rate, calculated as the worldwide average of sales growth rates at constant exchange rates registered by the DOS already existing as of January 1st, 2014, is -6.0% in the year. After a good performance in October, the month of November was impacted by the tragic events in Paris, but we have seen a normalization of the situation in the last weeks of the year.
