Outlook

•Macroeconomic conditions to remain challenging

- Consumer spending in the US affected by the unseasonably warm winter, and the effect continues into this year

- Europe faces ongoing political and economic structural challenges; however, continued stabilization of the Euro bodes well

- While slower growth in China likely to remain a focal point, overall underlying trends in Asia, including China, remain promising (e.g. healthy domestic consumption, growth of middle class, focus on children)

• Industry trends pointing towards increasing appetite for affordable luxury; further fueled by greater online and mobile access of consumers to a wide range of brands

• Topline expected to perform well due to no further impact from exit of underperforming brands, considerable contribution of new brands as well as organic growth

•Margins to continue to trend up, as operational synergies further improve cost efficiencies across our global platform
