Third-quarter 2013 revenue

∞ Revenue up 3% on a comparable basis

∞ Balanced growth in Luxury: revenue up 6% on a comparable basis

Kering posted third-quarter 2013 revenue of €2.5 billion, up 3.4% versus the same 2012 period based on comparable Group structure and exchange rates. Kering's revenue for the first nine months of the year was up 3.9% based on comparable Group structure and exchange rates.

The Luxury Division achieved further growth across all regions, with revenue up 5.6% in the quarter and up 7.1% in the first nine months of the year on a comparable basis. Fashion and Leather Goods sales advanced 6% during the quarter. The Sport & Lifestyle Division's revenue contracted slightly (down 0.9% on a comparable basis).

François-Henri Pinault, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Kering posted another quarter of growth, propelled by the Luxury Division's strong performance, notably in our own store network. This performance underscores the strategic rationale of our multi-brand business model and the success of our diversification strategy in terms of geographical coverage, distribution channels and product categories. Revenue generated by the Sport & Lifestyle Division contracted, in line with our forecast, impacted by the unfavorable consumer spending environment. A new management team has been appointed to radically transform Puma and restore the brand's powerful position. With very healthy gross margins in our luxury brands and continued tight control of our operating expenses, we remain confident in our performances for the year as a whole."

∞ Luxury Division

The Luxury Division reported a solid third-quarter performance with revenue growing by 6% on a comparable basis, fuelled by sales generated in its directly operated stores, up 8%.

The Division's growth is evenly balanced between mature markets (up 5%) and emerging markets (up 7%). All key geographic areas recorded solid growth, with a particularly strong showing in Japan, where revenue jumped 14% on a comparable basis.

The Luxury Division's sales growth was fuelled by the buoyant performance of Fashion and Leather Goods, which advanced 6% during the period.

As of September 30, 2013, the store network of the Luxury Division comprised 1,116 units, including 39 net new additions during the quarter and a further 53 directly operated stores following the integration of the Pomellato group.

∞ Gucci

Gucci's third-quarter sales were up 0.6% on a comparable basis, with revenue growth of 4% in directly operated stores, while wholesale sales contracted due to Gucci's increasingly selective distribution policy.

By region, Gucci recorded mixed third-quarter sales. In Japan and the United States (excluding Hawaii), revenue grew steadily, demonstrating the effectiveness of the strategy of exclusivity implemented in these countries over the past several years, though the adoption of this strategy in the Asia-Pacific region adversely affected third-quarter store traffic. In Western Europe, revenue was impacted by Gucci's performance in Italy, its main market in the region.

The Leather Goods and Shoes product lines posted very solid results in directly operated stores while sales of handbags were particularly robust, driven by the success of new "no logo" leather lines, Bamboo Shopper and Lady Lock.

∞ Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta posted very solid growth in the third quarter of 2013 with revenue jumping 16% on a comparable basis, driven by very strong performances in its directly-operated stores (up 18%).

All geographic areas contributed evenly to this performance, with growth of 13% in mature markets and 21% in emerging markets.

Leather Goods continued to post very solid performances during the quarter (up 18%), while sales in other product categories, notably its Men's collection, rose sharply, confirming Bottega Veneta's ability to broaden its offering to attract new customers.

∞ Saint Laurent

Saint Laurent recorded a very strong third-quarter performance, reporting growth of 12% on a comparable basis, bolstered by sales growth of 15% in directly operated stores. The positive momentum seen in its stores since the beginning of the year bears witness to the successful rollout of the brand's new store concept and the particular focus on this distribution channel.

Sustained growth was reported across all geographic areas during the quarter with a particularly robust performance in Japan (up 41%), while sales were solid in Western Europe (up 12%) and on a continued upward trend in North America (up 12%).

Men's and Women's ready-to-wear again delivered excellent performances (up 41%) and recently launched shoe and handbag lines have proved highly successful.

∞ Other luxury brands

Kering's other luxury brands posted growth of 9% on a comparable basis in the third quarter of 2013, driven by the success of the designer brands, including very strong performances by Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen. Balenciaga saw the pace of its revenue growth accelerate compared with the previous quarter, while Brioni continues to develop satisfactorily.

Jewellery and Timepieces recorded more mixed third-quarter sales performances, with Boucheron posting solid growth figures.

∞ Sport & Lifestyle Division

The Sport & Lifestyle Division's sales performance was generally in line with the trends observed in the first six months of 2013. Revenue contracted 0.9% on a comparable basis, affected by the performance of Puma's Footwear category.

Volcom's sales advanced 2% during the quarter, partly fuelled by solid revenue from its new footwear line.

∞ Puma

Puma sales for the third quarter of 2013 were down 0.8% on a comparable basis.

The Puma brand recorded improved retail sales (up 6%), driven by all of its directly operated distribution channels (stores, outlets, online sales).

Sales developed positively in North America, but remained under pressure in Western Europe.

Sales of Apparel and Accessories grew over the quarter, while the Footwear category continued to be affected by challenging conditions in its main markets.

In the third quarter, Puma pressed ahead with the implementation of the brand's Transformation Programme, closing more underperforming stores, appointing a new creative director, introducing a new geographic organisation, reducing the number of product references and optimising the product development process.
