The key strategic priorities set-up from 2008 are: 1) development of "taylor-made" approach (flexible business approach that takes different strategies according to different market needs into account); 2) to accelerate expansion in key emerging countries by focusing on five high-potential markets (India, China, Russia and ex-URSS, Mexico, Turkey); 3) to keep growing in consolidated markets through brand extension and new store openings, reducing collection complexity, to develop new commercial initiatives (UCB Man, Benetton Baby and Baby Under, Sisley Young, accessories); 4) to evolve the culture of the organization (matrix approach to maximize growth opportunities of each brand in every market). 32 NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA, AUSTRALIA OR JAPAN Gruppo Banca Leonardo Italian Equity Research Italian Luxury & Consumer Goods June 23 2009 Profitability drivers From 2008 the Group also started to focus on a sell-out approach, due to the new competitive environment and the changed consumers' behaviour. Particular focus is now on: 1) optimizing the delivery cycles according to sell-out time (providing better service and flexibility to the partners to phase the commercial offer for local consumers, thus also optimizing transport costs through differentiated deliveries based on store clusters); 2) new role of agents; 3) improving store attractiveness to raise sales per store (increased traffic driven by the introduction of new store concepts and product extensions); 4) improving the sales mix (i.e. increasing contribution of accessories, menswear and hanging garments).

The gross operating profit increased +180bps YoY thanks to higher volumes in apparel and an improvement in efficiency, while the EBIT margin was roughly stable YoY due to higher SGA costs (also reflecting the establishment of direct control over the business particularly in the US market), but net income reported a growth of +7% YoY, despite higher financial costs related to the higher debt (€689m, +45% YoY).

The reorganization plan should bring €50-70m in structural savings in 12 months base to be partially reinvested in the commercial business.

  • Italy's Less Significant Banks: General Overview and Supervision
    Italy’s less significant banks: general overview and supervision On 30 June 2016, Italy’s less significant institutions (LSIs), directly supervised by the Bank of Italy within the framework of Europe’s Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM), numbered 462, of which 355 were mutual cooperative banks (banche di credito cooperativo or BCCs). LSIs in Italy comprise about 8,700 branches and 74,000 bank employees, while the entire Italian banking system consists of 29,000 branches and 292,000 bank employees; LSIs account for 18 per cent of the banking system’s total assets. The average value of an LSI’s total assets came to just over €1 billion, against an average of €165 billion for significant institutions (SIs). On the same date, the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio for LSIs averaged 15.5 per cent, about 4 percentage points more than in 2011 (the CET1 ratio for SIs was 11.7 per cent, representing an increase of 3 percentage points on 2011). Non-performing loans (net of value adjustments) as a share of total loans (NPL ratio) averaged 12.5 per cent (it was 10.5 per cent for SIs). The coverage ratio averaged 43.6 per cent (46.6 per cent for SIs); however, among LSIs there was greater recourse to guarantees. The increase in the coverage ratio recorded on average by LSIs in recent years was starkly higher than that for SIs. In the first half of 2016, the profitability of LSIs, net of extraordinary effects, was in line with that of SIs. The cost- income ratio was substantially similar for LSIs and SIs.

  • Benetton Colours Debut in Printemps Haussmann, Iconic Shopping Destination in Paris
    BENETTON COLOURS DEBUT IN PRINTEMPS HAUSSMANN, ICONIC SHOPPING DESTINATION IN PARIS United Colors of Benetton continues to expand its distribution network, bringing the premium level collections to the most prestigious department stores Ponzano Veneto, 30th August 2019 - After partnering with London’s Selfridges, an historic address for international shopping, Paris temple of shopping Printemps Haussmann, has also chosen the United Colors of Benetton collections. On the third floor of the department store - located in the heart of Paris, on Boulevard Haussmann - Benetton Group has inaugurated the new United Colors of Benetton space. Dedicated entirely to women, the new corner inside the prestigious location will host the garments of the Fall- Winter 2019/2020 collection by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, artistic director of the brand since October 2018. A celebration of the brand's DNA, in which colourful energy, Italian knitwear expertise, creative details and sporty-chic spirit mix together and bring a contemporary, pop universe to life. The Benetton space inside Printemps Haussmann, covering an area of 200 square metres, is divided into two areas: one dedicated to the premium collections, the other housing knitwear garments that give life to a great colour theatre. The two areas are connected by coloured threads that recall the characteristic “stitch” of the United Colors of Benetton logo, located at the entrance of the Benetton area. The coloured thread extensions radiate into the space, taking various forms and directions: starting as hanging rails to display the collection, they transform into multi-coloured paths that lead to the Benetton garments displayed in the "Color Theatre", where the iconic knitwear line is celebrated.
