LONDON | Tue Jan 15, 2013 7:13am GMT
(Reuters) - British luxury brand Burberry posted a 9 percent rise in third-quarter underlying revenue as its wealthiest shoppers continued to spend even though some of its more aspirational consumers were impacted by faltering economies.
The 157-year-old seller of raincoats and leather goods, known for its camel, red and black check pattern, said on Tuesday it made 613 million pounds of revenues in the three months to December 31.
That compared with analysts' average forecast of 602 million pounds, according to a company poll, and 574 million pounds in the same period last year.
