As of the 30^th of September 2020, the Salvatore Ferragamo Group reported total revenue of 611 million euros, declining by 38.5% at current exchange rates (-38.6% at constant exchange rates) from the 994 million euros recorded in the first nine months of 2019. Revenue in the third quarter of the current year registered a 18.9% decrease at current exchange rates (-18.1% at constant exchange rates). According to the luxury group, the decrease in revenue has been determined by the rapid diffusion of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 and the consequent decisions taken by the National governments regarding lock-downs of the commercial activities and given the restrictions in international traffic. The consequent closure of the majority of Ferragamo' store network in those countries and the significant reduction in traffic in the remaining stores, negatively impacted the results of the first six months of the year, that registered a progressive improvement in the last three months.

By the end of the third quarter, the group's retail network counted on a total of 646 points of sales, including 393 Directly Operated Stores (DOS) and 253 Third Party Operated Stores (TPOS) in the Wholesale and Travel Retail channel, as well as the presence in Department Stores and high-level multi-brand Specialty Stores. In the first nine months of 2020 the retail distribution channel posted consolidated revenue down by 35.3%, with a decrease of 35.2% at constant exchange rates and perimeter (like-for-like) compared to similar period in 2019. In the third quarter of the current year, retail revenue decreased by 23.0%, with a -22.8% like-for-like performance and with the e-commerce channel registering a strong acceleration. The wholesale channel registered a decrease in revenue of 44.5%, mainly driven by the performance of the Travel Retail channel and of Fragrances. In quarter three, wholesale revenue was down by 8.7%.

The Asia Pacific area is confirmed as the group's top market, reaching, in the first nine months of the year, over 42% of total revenue, decreasing by 30.6%. The third quarter performance in the area, solidly recovering vs. the previous quarter, benefitted from the positive performance of the retail channel in China, which recorded a revenue growth of 38.3% at constant exchange rates, and that furtherly accelerated in October. A solid growth trend has been reported, in quarter three, also in the retail channel in South Korea and in Taiwan, that continue to register a robust revenue increase also in October.

The Japanese market registered a 30.9% decrease in revenue in the first nine months of the current year, with a performance in the third quarter of a decline of 17.3% also due to a hard comparison base in the month of September 2019.
