Zegna Group chairman and CEO Ermenegildo ‘Gildo’ Zegna said: “Our first financial release as a publicly listed company confirms that Zegna is a global leader in the luxury market.
“Our focus on excellence, innovation and the strong customer response to our luxury leisurewear, resulted in our preliminary full-year revenues outpacing our previously disclosed plan.
“By focusing on our legacy brand – which is going through a major rebranding – and on the further strengthening of our one-of-a-kind Made in Italy luxury textile platform coupled with the dynamic pace at which Thom Browne continues, we were able to deliver a strong financial performance in 2021.
“While we will continue to monitor world events and the Covid pandemic’s potential impacts on our business, we remain optimistic about our growth in 2022, with improved profitability.”
In response to the performance, the group expects its full-year adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin to be around 10%.
