Hermes International SCA said Friday that earnings and revenue surged in 2021, with Asia driving growth and Europe recovering from the pandemic.
The French luxury-fashion company made a net profit of 2.45 billion euros ($2.78 billion), rising 77% on year, on revenue that surged to EUR8.98 billion from EUR6.88 billion in 2019, before the pandemic.
Analysts had seen net profit at EUR2.34 billion and revenue at EUR9 billion, according to a FactSet-compiled consensus.
Revenue growth versus 2019 maintained a pace of 33% in the second half as in the first, Hermes said. Asia sales for the year were up by more than half compared with 2019, making it the biggest engine of top-line growth for the company. Total Europe sales returned to growth of 4.3% over the same period, though Hermes's home market in France booked a slight decrease.
Recurring operating profit surged to EUR3.53 billion, representing a major expansion in the operating margin to 39.3% from 34% in 2019.
The company will propose a dividend of EUR8.00 a share for the year at a shareholders' meeting in April. Hermes didn't offer any numerical guidance for 2022, but said it continues to aim for ambitious organic revenue growth for the medium term.
