THE WHY? Discussing the results, while sales were on the up, Reinold Geiger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer heeded a word of warning that the effects of the pandemic were far from over. 

He stated, “After a solid FY2021, we are pleased to see our growth trajectory continue into FY2022. Importantly, even as stores reopen globally, the shift in our channel mix towards online has remained intact, demonstrating the success of our omni-channel distribution. As part of this effort, we continued to make important progress in restructuring our store network, especially in the US, which will improve our operational efficiency.
“Yet, as recent outbreaks in the Asia-Pacific region has shown, the COVID-19 pandemic is not yet over. However, we have already adapted a nimble mindset over the past year, leveraging our omni-channel presence and targeting our investments in key markets to safeguard our ongoing growth and profitability.”
