Burberry says H2 sales rise on U.S., Europe

(Corrects to show second half, not first half)

PARIS, April 15 (Reuters) - British luxury goods maker Burberry posted a 9 percent rise in second-half underlying sales on Wednesday, with strong trading in the United (Shenzhen: 000925.SZ - news) States and Europe helping to make up for weakness in major markets such as Hong Kong.

Burberry's total revenue in the six months to March 31 reached 1.423 billion pounds ($2.1 billion), while sales from its directly operated network of stores were also up 13 percent on an underlying basis during the period. ($1 = 0.6780 pounds) (Reporting by Astrid Wendlandt; editing by James Regan)
