Hamburg, 19 March 2024 – According to preliminary and still unaudited figures, the Bijou Brigitte Group generated profit before income taxes of EUR 38.4 million (previous year: EUR 45.8 million*) in the 2023 financial year. This figure is thus within the forecast range of EUR 38.0 million to EUR 54.0 million.
Pre-tax earnings were 2.7 percent higher than in the pre-coronavirus year of 2019 (EUR 37.4 million) due to the positive development of sales to EUR 327.9 million. However, significantly higher costs in almost all expense items prevented Group earnings from reaching the exceptional level achieved in 2022. Net profit after taxes in 2023 came to EUR 24.1 million, following EUR 34.9 million* in the previous year.
(*figures for the previous year have been adjusted in accordance with IAS 8)
The consolidated and annual financial statements of Bijou Brigitte modische Accessoires AG for the 2023 financial year will be published in April 2024. The Annual General Meeting is planned for 27 June 2024.
