About Birkenstock Holding Limited
The shoemaker is coming to the New York Stock Exchange. Its origins have been traced back to a German cobbler, Johannes Birkenstock, in 1774. The company sells footwear directly to customers and through business channels, with a reputation for quality. Despite being known more for function than style, the firm’s signature sandals have become a popular item in recent years.
In 2021, a majority stake in the business was bought by a private equity firm, L Catterton, while brothers Christian and Alex Birkenstock kept a minority stake. L Catterton is backed by luxury goods powerhouse LVMH Moët Hennessy ($LVMUY) and the son of its billionaire chairman, Bernard Arnault, has been nominated to join the board.
Like Arm ($ARM), it’s another European company that’s decided to list in the U.S. but also differs from the other recent IPOs as an apparel rather than tech-focused firm. In 2022, Birkenstock earned revenues of €1.24b and had a gross profit margin of 60%. The company has indicated that some of the IPO’s proceeds will be used to pay down debt as it tries to gain a greater share of the €340b global footwear industry.
