MILAN, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Revenues at Italian luxury outerwear group Moncler MONC.MI fell 1% at constant exchange rates in the third quarter, hit by weak tourist demand in Europe and Japan despite an increase in sales in the Americas.
The Milan-based group, best known for its glamorous puffer jackets, posted revenues of 616 million euros ($718 million) for the July-September period, above a company-provided analyst consensus forecast of 604 million euros.
Revenues at the Moncler brand held steady in Asia - an area that accounts for roughly half of the total - as China continued to outperform the rest of the region where Japan and Korea instead performed weakly. ($1 = 0.8575 euros)
