LONDON, June 17 — Dr. Martens, the classic British boot brand that listed its shares in January, on Thursday reported a 22 per cent rise in annual core earnings with online sales helping to soften the hit from Covid-19-related store closures.

Dr. Martens said trading since the year end had been in line with its expectations and it maintained a target of “high teens” percentage revenue growth in 2021-22, as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the group and its markets reduces.It is targeting e-commerce to grow to 40 per cent of the overall sales mix from 30 per cent in 2020-21, with total direct to consumer channels, including retail stores, making up 60 per cent of the mix.It expects to begin paying a dividend in the 2021-22 year.
