Digital sales experience a modest 2% increase, reaching £48.4 million, accounting for 30% of total revenue.
Gross margins remain steady at 71.2%, while full price retail sales witness a 6% rise, comprising 78% of total retail sales.
However, underlying profit before tax sharply declines to £2.5 million, and reported profit before tax decreases to £13.2 million in FY23.
The company highlights significant investments, including the acquisitions of businesses in Sweden and Australia, and full ownership of Mulberry Japan Co Limited. These investments align with the company's long-term growth strategy. Thierry Andretta, the CEO, emphasizes the support of their transformation function in delivering their strategic goals.
