A LUXURY-FOCUSED TRANSACTION ADVISORY APPROACH
Luxury transactions require more than standard financial analysis. A luxury company cannot be assessed only through revenue, EBITDA, margins or growth rates. Its value also depends on brand equity, heritage, desirability, product strength, client base, creative direction, distribution quality, pricing power, operational capability, organization, leadership and international scalability.
