Esprit shares gain after it says worst of transition is over

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Shares of clothing retailer Esprit Holdings Ltd gained 2.4 percent on Thursday after it said the most challenging part of a company transition was over.

The company made the statement on Wednesday when it reported it had swung to a loss for the year ended June 2015, weighed down by a weak euro and a slowdown in Germany in China.
