The Hamburg jewelry branchist Bijou Brigitte Fashionable Accessoires AG has felt the difficult market conditions in the first weeks of the current financial year 2025.
On Tuesday, the company, citing preliminary figures, announced that it could generate sales of 66.2 million euros in the opening quarter. This fell by 2.0 percent compared to the same period last year. The decline is “mainly due to a subdued consumption mood in Germany that brightened in March,” said the retailer.
The company wants to present its final results for the past financial year 2024 in the current month. According to the preliminary results published in advance, sales grew by 1.8 percent of the year to EUR 333.9 million. However, the result missed the previous year’s level due to cost increases.
