Birkenstock misses sales estimates as consumers cut back on spending
(Reuters) - Birkenstock missed expectations for third-quarter revenue on Thursday as customers held back from spending on pricey footwear, such as the German sandal maker's cork-based shoes, amid still-high costs of living.
The company reported quarterly revenue of 564.8 million euros ($626.1 million), compared with analysts' estimates of 565.2 million euros, according to LSEG data.
