The company continues to face headwinds driven mainly by global inflation caused by the Russian-Ukrainian war which has produced an economic slowdown restricting consumer spending. This coupled with exchange rate problems in the markets and the supply chain due to regions affected by COVID restrictions in China and Hainan lately producing shortages in the chain have resulted in hurdles and reduced sales in the international markets.
Moreover, the loss of several licensing agreements is highlighted anticipating a 4-6% drop in organic net sales between the first and second fiscal quarters. Despite the headwinds, the company has made efforts to implement a good online retail infrastructure supported by new technologies and digital experiences with constant updates for users providing online booking for every shop appointment, omni-channel programmes and high-touch services.
