Diego Della Valle, Chairman and CEO of the Tod's Group, commented the results now presented: “In line with our expectations, all the brands achieved a visible improvement of their results in the second half of the year. We have completed the rationalization of the Italian wholesale distribution and we are continuing our expansion of the DOS network in international markets, focusing on the most responsive ones. In line with our strategic plans, we are carrying on the important investments in human resources, production capacity, style, research and communication, according to our usual industrial perspective, which combines the short with the midterm views. Also considering the positive feedback of Spring Summer collections now in stores, despite the low visibility and uncertainty of some markets, we are confident that our Group will register positive results this year”.
