Jan 18 (Reuters) - Birkenstock beat analysts' expectations for fourth-quarter revenue on Thursday, in the German luxury sandal maker's first results since going public, driven by higher pricing and strong demand.

The company's quarterly revenue rose to 374.54 million euros ($407.7 million) from 321.61 million euros a year earlier, compared with market expectations of 357.39 million euros, according to LSEG data.

Birkenstock's shares ended 2023 about 19% higher after a disappointing market debut in October. ($1 = 0.9187 euros) (Reporting by Ananya Mariam Rajesh in Bengaluru; Editing by Sriraj Kalluvila)
