Birkenstock plans price hikes to offset tariffs
- Birkenstock's sales for the quarter ending March 31 reached 574.3 million euros, marking a 19% increase year-over-year and surpassing analysts' expectations.
- The revenue growth followed higher unit sales, increased average selling prices, and plans to implement low single-digit global price hikes from July.
- Birkenstock manufactures exclusively in Germany, faces a 10% US tariff on imports, and does not plan to shift production despite tariff-related cost pressures.
- Birkenstock plans to counteract the impact of tariffs by implementing price increases across all markets, viewing this strategy as an opportunity to expand its market presence, according to the company's finance chief.
- Birkenstock raised its annual forecasts, expecting 15%-17% revenue growth and improved EBITDA margins, while executives prepare for tariff uncertainties post-July.
