Burberry, the iconic British luxury brand, has announced global job cuts and revealed a better-than-expected profit as part of its turnaround strategy under CEO Joshua Schulman.
Burberry, the renowned British luxury fashion house, will reduce its workforce by 1,700 roles globally in an effort to streamline operations and address financial challenges. The company reported an adjusted operating profit of £26 million ($34.55 million) for the fiscal year ending March 29, exceeding analysts' predictions of £11 million.
CEO Joshua Schulman, who took the helm last year, has refocused the brand's strategy on its classic trench coats and scarves after setbacks from product missteps and a challenging luxury market. Despite these efforts, fourth-quarter comparable sales declined by 6%, slightly outperforming forecasts of a 7% drop.
Sales dipped across key regions, including a 9% decline in Asia Pacific and 4% drops in both the Americas and the Europe, Middle East, India, and Africa (EMEIA) markets. The company cited geopolitical uncertainty as a factor in the economic outlook but refrained from issuing specific targets for the 2026 fiscal year.
"We aim to amplify our campaigns as our Autumn and Winter collections reach stores," Schulman said. However, challenges remain, particularly in the U.S. market, where consumer spending appears under pressure.
