Sales growth of 5.1% at Safilo in 2014

Italian eyewear manufacturer Safilo Group reported a 5.1% increase in sales to CAN$1.487 billion in 2014 (1.178 billion euros).

The company’s gross profit also increased by 5.1%, compared to 2013, to CAN$907 million (718.6 million euros), whereas adjusted net profit jumped by 14.1%, compared to last year, to CAN$56 million (44.5 million euros).

Sales increased by 8% in the Americas and growth was very strong (23.3%) in the fourth quarter. Sales increased slightly (+3.4%) in Europe and remained stable (-0.2%) in Asia.

Safilo’s strategy to separate its brands into five market segments seems to be successful. Dior’s performance was solid in the high-end sector, while Boss and Tommy Hilfiger are becoming Safilo’s core brands. The Max Mara brand recorded two-figure growth in 2014, while Gucci sales remained stable. Safilo now intends to restage the Carrera brand, whose sunglass sales dropped and ophthalmic frame sales were flat in 2014.
