Burberry acquires remainder of Chinese operations

Published
Aug 1, 2016

Burberry, the British heritage fashion house, has spent £54m on acquiring the remaining 15% economic interest in its China business held by Sparkle Roll Holdings Limited, a non-Group company.


This means that Burberry, which bought the first 85% of its Chinese business in 2010, now holds 100% economic interest in the Group's business in China. 

Burberry recently announced results for its "challenging" first quarter, when like-for-like sales fell by 3%. A positive 3 percent contribution from new stores resulted in flat retail sales of £423m, which was slightly better than analysts' expectations.

Burberry has seen a sales downturn in mainland China and Hong Kong. The company just named Marco Gobbetti, the Italian boss of LVMH brand Celine, its new CEO, starting next year.
