Burberry PLCs (LON:BRBY<\/a>) revealed that its profits for the 52 weeks ended March 28, 2020, tumbled as the luxury goods group took a \u00a3245mln stock and stores writedown amid disruption in its key Asian markets.<\/p>\n

The raincoat, bags and clothing maker also said it is also not able to give guidance for the current financial year due to disruption caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.<\/p>\n

The final dividend has already been scrapped, and future payments are to be reviewed at the end of this financial year, the FTSE 100-listed group said.<\/p>\n

Around 50% of its stores remain closed, Burberry added, and the first quarter to end June will be severely impacted though there are signs of recovery in mainland China and Korea. Cumulative sales in both markets since the beginning of April were ahead of the prior year, it added.<\/p>\n

Burberry noted that online sales have picked up strongly and it has also seen a strong response to its most recent collections.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have taken swift action to mitigate the financial impact on our business, while prioritising the safety and wellbeing of our teams and customers,\u201d Marco Gobetti, Burberry chief executive said in the results statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a strong balance sheet and liquidity, with space for investment when markets recover,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Revenues in the year to March 28 fell by 3% to \u00a32.63bn though in the final three months of the year store sales declined by 27% and full-year comparable-store sales fell by 3%. Underlying profits were flat at \u00a3433mln but dropped 62% to \u00a3169mln including the stock write-offs.<\/p>\n

Burberry shares rose 5% to 1,447.5p by noon on Friday.<\/p>\n

Analysts at UBS said the final results were slightly ahead of the company's pre-release, with fourth-quarter LFL sales down 27% compared to expectations of a 31% decline.<\/p>\n

Second-half underlying profit of \u00a3230mln versus a consensus \u00a3164mln, though UBS noted that this included a \u00a3244mln one-off charge and so on a reported basis the second half was actually loss making.<\/p>\n

Helal Miah, analyst at The Share Centre, said: \u201cIt has been a turbulent year for Burberry mainly due to external factors. While it handled the disturbances from the Hong Kong protests well, there was no way of skipping around the Covid-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n
