In January it said consolidated revenue climbed 9 percent to 716.4 million euros on a constant currency basis.

Chairman and Chief Executive Diego Della Valle said there was no visibility for the current year because of the economic conditions. He had said in January Tod's expected to increase its sales and profits in 2009 despite the uncertain outlook.

"The first signals of the current year are considered positive," he said in the statement. "The group's objectives are to maintain and consolidate market share and profitability."

He said the group would do this through several measures such as greater attention to costs and "strong attention" to product innovation.

Shares reversed gains to be down 0.59 percent at 33.43 euros at 1449 GMT, while Milan's Mibtel was down 0.43 percent. (Reporting by Marie-Louise Gumuchian; Editing by Greg Mahlich) ($1=.7337 euros)
