Burberry's revenue was 458 million pounds ($595 million) for the first quarter that concluded on June 29, which was 22% less than the same period in the previous fiscal year. Excluding currency swings, the figure decreased by 20%.
The company's first-quarter results were deemed "disappointing" by Chairman Gerry Murphy, who also pointed out that the luxury goods sector was experiencing more difficult circumstances than anticipated.
If the industry's downward trend persists in the second fiscal quarter, Murphy warned, Burberry may incur an operational deficit in the first half of the year. Operating profit for the entire fiscal year 2025 is probably going to be less than what is currently anticipated given these conditions.
Consequently, the company has made the decision to forgo paying dividends in FY2025.
