"From January to June 2007, HUGO BOSS continued the dynamic growth of the previous years in all important markets. Once again, BOSS Womenswear, shoes and leather accessories as well as our own retail business performed particularly well", commented Dr. Bruno Sälzer, Chairman of the Managing Board at HUGO BOSS AG.
The Managing Board anticipates currency-adjusted sales to grow by 10-12% in the year 2007 as a whole, and earnings before taxes to rise by 12-15% when compared to fiscal year 2006.
