Burberry's new CEO Joshua Schulman announced a turnaround strategy for the struggling British luxury brand on Thursday, as sales continued to slide in its second quarter.
Burberry suspended its dividend for 2025 and announced a 40 million pound ($50.73 million) cost savings program. According to Reuters, Schulman said the brand needed to focus back on outerwear and its core customer.
"Today, we are acting with urgency to course correct, stabilize the business and position Burberry for a return to sustainable, profitable growth," Schulman said in a statement.
Sales in Burberry's second quarter ending Sept. 28 fell at the same pace as the first, with revenue for the first half down 20% in constant currency.
