Alternative performance measures, including adjusting measures, are defined on page 45 of the Annual Report.
* The Group also had borrowings at 1 April 2023 of £298m (2 April 2022: £298m, 27 March 2021: £297m, 28 March 2020: £300m).
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) help management measure progress against our six strategic pillars and Responsibility targets.
This measures the appeal of the Burberry brand to customers through all of our sales channels.
Financial ambition in the medium term
£4 billion of revenue equating to high single-digit growth over the period.
Performance
FY 2022/23 revenue increased by 5% at CER.
This measures the growth in productivity of existing stores. It is calculated as the annual percentage increase in sales from retail stores that have been open for more than 12 months. It is adjusted for permanent closures and refurbishments, and includes all digital revenue.
Financial ambition in medium term
£4 billion of revenue equating to high single-digit growth over the period.
Performance
FY 2022/23 comparable sales increased by 7% in the year as a result of good progress in our core leather goods and outerwear categories.
This measure tracks our ongoing operating profitability and reflects the combination of revenue growth and cost management.
Financial ambition over time
Adjusted operating profit growth ahead of revenue growth.*
Performance
Adjusted operating profit in FY 2022/23 increased by 8% at CER. This was as a result of the growth in revenue and controlling adjusted operating cost growth as a result of strong cost management.
This measures how we drive operational leverage and disciplined cost control, with thoughtful investment for future growth building the long-term value of the brand.
Financial ambition
Progression to our target of over 20% in the medium term.
Performance
Adjusted operating profit margin improved by 200 bps which was 60 bps at constant exchange rates as a result of the leverage from revenue growth in excess of operating cost growth and 140 bps from the impact of FX and the 53rd week in FY 2021/22.
Growth in adjusted diluted EPS reflects the increase in profitability of the business, movement in the tax rate and share repurchase accretion.
Financial ambition over time
Adjusted EPS growth ahead of revenue growth.*
Performance
Adjusted diluted EPS increased by 30% year-on-year, due to the improvement in adjusted operating profit, the reduction in net finance expense and the accretion from the share buyback.
Adjusted Group ROIC measures the efficient use of capital on investments. It is calculated as the post-tax adjusted Group operating profit divided by average adjusted operating assets over the period.
Financial ambition over time
ROIC significantly ahead of Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).
Performance
Adjusted Group ROIC increased to 28.6%, significantly ahead of the Group’s WACC, in FY 2022/23, mainly due to the increase in adjusted operating profit. Average operating assets increased by 5%.
*At CER and adjusted for the 53rd week in FY 2021/22.
Details of alternative performance measures are shown on page 37 of the Annual Report. The calculation of Adjusted Group ROIC is set out on page 37 of the Annual Report.
We have developed non-financial measures to assess our performance against our ongoing colleague objectives and FY 2022/23 Responsibility targets, with progress regularly monitored by our Board. For further details on Environmental and Social Responsibility activities and progress against FY 2022/23 targets, see pages 50 to 93. The Group has considered the non-financial reporting requirements under sections 414CA and 414CB of the Companies Act 2006 and has included details in the Annual Report.
Adjusting items are those items which, in the opinion of the directors, should be excluded in order to provide a consistent and comparable view of the underlying performance of the Group’s on-going business. Generally this will include those items that are largely one-off and material in nature as well as income or expenses relating to acquisitions or disposals of businesses or other transactions of a similar nature, including the impact of changes in fair value of expected future payments or receipts relating to these transactions.
