BUZZ-Jimmy Choo: among top FTSE 250 losers as H1 fails to excite

** Jimmy Choo (LSE: CHOO.L - news) down 2.3% among top FTSE 250 fallers as H1 results underwhelm

** H1 revenues up 5.5% YoY, but adjusted EBITDA margin decreases to 17.5% (2013: 18.4%)

** Liberum says results in-line; trims 2015e EBIT by 2% to reflect timing of costs (but upgrades 17e by 3%, keeps 'buy')

** Broker notes co is under-represented in China with c15% of group sales this yr vs c21% for the wider luxury goods market

** Broker flags: co has no plans to slow Chinese store rollout; currency devaluation could drive more Chinese to shop at home so sales may accelerate; margin upside as Chinese stores are owned, while most other brand sales in region wholesale
