Struggling British fashion retailer Superdry said on Friday it does not expect significant revenue growth this fiscal year as it prioritizes cutting costs and bolstering margins.

The company, whose fashion line mostly include sweatshirts, hoodies and jackets, reported an adjusted pretax loss of 21.7 million pounds ($27.46 million) for the year ended April 29, 2023, compared with a profit of 21.6 million pounds.

Revenue for the first quarter ended July tumbled 18.4%, hurt by lower demand for its spring summer collection due to extreme weather across Europe and the UK and a later start to its end-of-season sale.

"Conversely, our new Autumn Winter collection is selling better this early in the season than usual," the company said.

Ralph Lauren surpassed quarterly revenue estimates on Thursday, helped by resilient demand for its classic Polo shirts and spring dresses, sending its shares up 3% in premarket trading.

Its efforts to invest in brands including Polo and Purple Label, paired with stylish seasonal drops, have been helping the company win over younger and less price-sensitive shoppers.

However, it forecast annual revenue below estimates owing to pressures from uncertainty around US tariffs, Reuters reported.

Ralph Lauren is among the retailers and luxury brands facing the brunt of unpredictable US tariff shifts that have disrupted businesses and rattled shoppers worldwide.

The company expects fiscal 2026 revenue to increase in the low-single digits from last year, while analysts estimated a rise of 4.39%, per data compiled by LSEG.

It posted quarterly revenue of $1.70 billion, compared with estimates of $1.65 billion.
