On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Prada has announced that its net revenues for the six months ended 30 June were €2.23bn (£1.92bn), up 22% compared with the same period last year.

Alongside this the company posted an EBIT of €491m (£421m), an increase of 22% from the €304m (£261m) it posted last year.

The company’s retail sales were up 21.1% compared with the first half of 2022, at constant exchange rates.

This meant that the net income for the group was €305m (£262m) up from €189m (£162m) in the previous year.

Prada stated that all regions except the Americas showed double-digit growth over the first half of 2023.

At constant exchange rates Japan grew 49.2%, Asia Pacific was up 25.3%, Europe was up 24.2%, the Middle East 13.5% but the Americas was down 1%.

The group “retains the ambition” to deliver solid, sustainable and above-market growth for the full-year.

This is considering a more challenging basis of comparison in the third quarter, and a fourth quarter 2022 that was again impacted by new Covid restrictions in Asia.
