Hyparlo attributed the fall in sales to a decision to sell off its Italian unit at the beginning of this year. The unit recorded revenue of €23.7m in the first three months of 2002.
Excluding sales at its Italian unit, Hyparlo’s revenue in the first quarter grew 3.6%, boosted by sales growth at its French shops and its outlet in Romania, reported Dow Jones International News.
