LAFUMA Group announced earnings results for the first half of 2014. The Group achieved sales of EUR 85.5 million during the period under review, compared with EUR 96.3 million in the same period of 2013. This EUR 10.8 million, or 11.2%, dip in sales is the result of the new strategy that aims to return LAFUMA to a positive operating result.

Following a large operating loss of EUR 54.2 million (excluding one-off costs: EUR 4.8 million) for the first six months of 2013, LAFUMA already achieved a positive operating result of EUR 1.5 million in the first half of 2014. Excluding one-off costs, the operating profit came to EUR 1.7 million, which is an improvement of EUR 6.5 million on the first half of 2013.
