On February 1, 2022, Ermenegildo Zegna N.V. (“Zegna Group” or the “Company”) announced the Company’s unaudited Fiscal Year 2021 Preliminary Revenues.
Highlights from Fiscal Year 2021 Preliminary Revenues
For its Fiscal Year 2021, the Zegna Group posted a 27%1 Year-over-Year increase in revenues, to €1,292 million. This strong performance was driven by a continued rebound of the Zegna segment, whose revenues increased 23% to €1,035 million, as well as the exceptional performance of the Thom Browne brand, which was up 47%, with revenues totalling €263 million. Zegna branded products, which include apparel, bags, shoes and leather goods, as well as licensed goods and royalties, posted revenues that were up 33% to €847 million driven in large part by the robust growth in two primary areas: Luxury Leisurewear and Shoes. Thom Browne’s impressive performance was due to growth in every channel, geography and product line in both Men’s and Women’s categories. The Group’s textile revenues also saw a double-digit percentage increase to €102 million. The 9% decline in Strategic Alliances Year-over-Year to €75 million reflected a post-COVID adjustment phase in the B2B business.
The Group’s overall revenues showed strong growth across all geographies, with North American revenues increasing 46% to €191 million, due in large part to a very strong performance in the United States, where revenues were up 53% Year-over-Year. The Group saw similarly strong sales in APAC, with an increase of 26% to €696 million, with the Greater China Region2 continuing a two-year growth trend, up 34% since 2020 and 28% since 2019. Revenues in Japan and the remaining parts of APAC continued to be negatively affected by COVID-19 restrictions. EMEA saw a 20% uptick in sales, growing to €380 million, driven by a rebound in Italy’s sales to above 2019 levels and by the outstanding performance of the UAE, particularly in retail.
Retail sales growth was 39% Year-over-Year, and wholesale sales also grew at +14% Year-over-Year.
The Zegna brand retail revenues increase – up 35% to €713 million – was driven by a strong recovery across geographies, especially North America. Strong retail performance was also evident in both EMEA and APAC, the latter thanks to the high-double digit performance of the Greater China Region, which is showing sales well ahead of 2019 levels. The Group wholesale revenues were also up during the period, with Zegna branded products increasing 24% to €134 million, thanks to the strong performance of North America and APAC, and Thom Browne by 32% to €125 million thanks mainly to EMEA and APAC. Thom Browne’s strong momentum led to 127% revenue growth in the retail channel when compared to 2019, significantly exceeding store footprint expansion. At the same time, Zegna brand growth was strong despite a refocusing of the mono-brand store footprint since 2019, indicative of a positive response to the brand re-set strategy. Notably, retail outperformed wholesale for both brands, reflecting our strategic focus on brand equity and an increasingly selective approach to wholesale distribution. Group retail sales represented a 66% incidence of total revenues in 2021, up from 60% in 2020 and 61% in 2019.
