"Industry-wide challenges in the global supply chain are well documented and, as previously indicated by the group, resulted in pressure on gross margin through FY22," In The Style notes. "Whilst macroeconomic pressures are expected to persist over the coming months, the group's strong brand proposition and resulting pricing power has partially mitigated the impact of cost inflation on gross margin.
