Richemont increases revenue: Sale of YNAP not quite as burdensome
Jewellery and watch group Richemont increased its revenue in the past financial year. While the jewellery business grew, watch sales continued to decline, the company, which owns brands such as Cartier and IWC, announced in Geneva on Friday. Excluding the online division YNAP, which it sold, revenue in the financial year to the end of March rose 4 percent to 21.4 billion euros.
The operating profit margin shrank by 2.4 percentage points to 20.9 percent. Analysts had expected 21.4 percent, half a percentage point more.
The burden from the sale of YNAP was lower, at one billion euros, than the 1.3 billion euros initially announced, it added. Richemont announced in early October, after a long search, that it would sell YNAP to Mytheresa. The transaction was completed at the end of April.
Overall, without YNAP, there was a surplus of almost 3.8 billion euros, 1 percent less than a year earlier. With YNAP, it was 2.75 billion euros (plus 17 percent). The company clearly exceeded analysts' expectations.
The shareholders are to receive a dividend of CHF 3.00 per public share (A share). In the previous year, Richemont had paid out CHF 2.75 per share. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

Rangers told to ‘significantly increase' offer for key transfer target as selling club prepare to lose star man
RANGERS have been given an ultimatum on a key transfer target, as the selling club have reportedly demanded more money. Russell Martin's first signing could prove more difficult than desired as the offer was already well in the millions. 4 Rangers have been tracking Israel striker Dor Turgeman, right. Credit: EPA 4 They watched him score his first international goal in March against Denmark Credit: AFP 4 His club, Maccabi Tel Aviv, are reportedly demanding an increased offer Credit: EPA The Ibrox club have been chasing Dor Turgeman, an Israeli striker from Maccabi Tel Aviv. The 21-year-old was said to be in talks with the Gers with a deal looking to be in the region of £4million. But Israel Hayom are reporting that a 'significantly increased' offer will be required to land the forward who's scored 20 times this season. They say the previous offer has been 'rejected' by the sellers but the goalscorer has 'expressed a willingness' to make the move to Glasgow. The report says Gers representatives watched Turgeman play in the side's Europa League matches as well as the national team's games against Estonia and Norway back in March. He scored his first international goal in the latter. With new manager Martin only arriving this week, it's stated that previous boss Philippe Clement also had a hand in recommending the Tel Aviv man as one to watch. The media over there also reports: "The Yellow Club understands that the possibility that their leading striker this season will leave this summer is serious and has begun to look for alternatives. "Since the Israeli market is poor in quality attacking players, professional manager Dominic Price and CEO Ben Mansford have already begun the search for a foreign striker." So while The Yellows might play hardball over the price for the Rangers target, it's clear they are expecting a deal to be struck one way or another. SunSport reporters clash over Russell Martin as he's revealed as new Rangers boss This isn't the only player on the new gaffer's radar who might be priced out of a switch. A planned raid on his old club Southampton for Flynn Downes has apparently returned a massive £10million asking price from the relegated English side. Meanwhile ex-gaffer Clement has backed Cyriel Dessers, insisting nobody gets the level of flak he does. He said: 'I think Cyriel gets abuse like nobody else in the club or on the pitch at least. 'But he always was there to work hard, to do everything for the club every day, every training, every game. 4 Turgeman would provide competition for divisive top scorer Cyriel Dessers Credit: PA 'Also, in his career, he never scored as many goals as he did at Rangers. 'In the end he performed really well with his qualities. 'Of course fans always want more, but I think Cyriel, if he played in a team that won the league, then he would be for everybody a good player. 'But if you don't win the league then for the fans you are not a good player any more. 'That's life at Rangers.' Ibrox's top scorer this season would face competition to make the starting XI if Turgeman were to arrive. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Chelsea reach agreement with Dortmund star and seek to seal £50m transfer
Chelsea are keen to add to their squad ahead of this summer's Club World Cup and look set to make Borussia Dortmund star and former Man City man Jamie Gittens their latest addition Chelsea look set to make Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens their FIFTH signing of the summer as Enzo Maresca bolsters his squad ahead of the Club World Cup. The Blues have already been extremely busy since the end of last season. Brazilian winger Estevao Willian is set to make his move from Palmeiras official alongside Ecuadorian youngster Kendry Paez. Chelsea have also signed Liam Delap and Dário Essugo from Ipswich and Sporting Lisbon respectively over the past week. And those signings could potentially be joined by English wideman Gittens. As first reported by French outlet RMC Sport, the West London side have agreed on a seven-year deal with the 20-year-old to move to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have tabled a £29.5m bid - although it's believed they'll need to go higher - and hope to get a deal secured before the first part of the summer transfer window closes on Tuesday. Gittens, an England under-21 international, was actually at Chelsea as a youngster as well as a host of other clubs. He eventually found his way to Manchester City but quit the club in 2020 as he became the latest in a long line of promising English talents to move to the Bundesliga. He has since gone on to make over 100 appearances for Dortmund, scoring 17 goals - 12 of which came last season. Despite still having three years left to run on his deal, it appears he will now depart Dortmund if the two clubs can agree a fee. Gittens has a £50m release clause in his contract, but Chelsea are hoping to get it done for slightly less. Sporting director Sebastian Kehl admitted earlier this year that there was potentially interest in Gittens. He said: 'There's definitely a market for him. He's a very exciting player. We'll be having discussions soon. If offers come in, we'll have to deal with them.' 'We want to reduce wages,' Kehl added. 'That said, it's possible we'll continue with some of these players. But some may no longer be part of the BVB squad next season.' Gittens will arrive at Stamford Bridge as a possible replacement for Jadon Sancho, who has departed the club after Chelsea chiefs decided not to sign him permanently following his loan. The West Londoners have decided not to activate a £25m clause in the deal, and have consequently paid a £5m penalty. In a statement on social media, the winger said: "Grateful for the experience. Big love to everyone at Chelsea who made me feel at home — teammates, staff and the fans. Wishing the club all the best moving forward. Truly grateful, Thank you Blues." Sancho made 45 appearances across his season with Chelsea, scoring five goals and notching ten assists as Enzo Maresca's side won the Conference League.
