May 5 (Reuters) - German fashion group Hugo Boss BOSSn.DE reported higher-than-expected quarterly operating profit on Tuesday, despite a challenging market environment.
The company posted first-quarter earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of 35 million euros, down from 61 million euros a year earlier, but above analyst's forecast of 30 million euros in a company-provided poll.
