Munich, October 19, 2023 – Munich-based fashion group LUDWIG BECK (ISIN DE 0005199905) was able to carry the trend of the positive first half-year into the third quarter, at least in part, even though the prolonged summer weather at the end of the first nine months of 2023 caused a slight drop in sales.

Munich, July 20, 2023 - The stationary fashion trade is still struggling with the consequences of the inflation and the in part significant price increases for apparel and footwear. Although TW Testclub reported double-digit growth for the first six months of 2023, this was mainly due to the high growth rates reported in the first quarter. As expected, the industry lost momentum in the second quarter. In addition, rainy and cool months in April and May caused a slight decline, especially in the current spring/summer fashion. However, strong growth in June allowed for a conciliatory end to a mixed half-year.
