LONDON, May 19 (Reuters) - British luxury goods group Burberry met forecasts with a 12.5 percent fall in full-year profit and said it was pressing ahead with expansion plans despite continued tough trading conditions.
The 153-year old maker of raincoats and handbags said on Tuesday it made profit before tax and one-off items of 175 million pounds ($269 million) in the year ended March 31. The average forecast was 173 million pounds in a company poll.
Burberry, known for its camel, red and black check pattern, said revenues rose 21 percent to 1.2 billion pounds and kept its full-year dividend at 12 pence.
The company reiterated it expected to add 10-12 percent of selling space this financial year.
It expected first-half wholesale revenues at constant exchange rates to drop around 15 percent and licensing revenue to fall 10-15 percent on the same basis. (Reporting by Mark Potter; Editing by Dan Lalor) ($1 = 0.6516 pound)
