(KERFP; NR/BBB+ Stable) 

  • So against earlier rumours, it is going with internal appointment - Demna the Creative Director at Balenciaga will be moved up to the role.
  • Balenciaga sits within 'other houses' who combine to make up ~20% of group sales.
  • That segment was down -4% in 4Q and -7% in the FY - but based on remarks Balenciaga within it was doing better.

As we said earlier not a mover, caution remains ahead of earnings next month.
