  • Continued exceptional growth for Christian Dior Couture, particularly at its network of directly operated stores (up 19% at constant exchange rates compared to the same period in 2013), thanks to the excellence of its products,
  • Wines and Spirits' performance impacted by continued destocking by distributors in China,
  • The qualitative development of Louis Vuitton, where profitability remains at an exceptional level,
  • Continued investment in the fashion brands,
  • Strong innovation momentum at Parfums Christian Dior,
  • Sustained investment in communication for Watches and Jewelry,
  • Excellent performance of Sephora and continued expansion plan of DFS,
  • Cash from operations before changes in working capital of 3.3 billion euros,
  • Net debt to equity ratio of 26% as of the end of June 2014.

OUTLOOK

Despite an uncertain European economic environment, the Christian Dior group will continue to gain market share thanks to the numerous product launches planned in the coming months and its geographic expansion in promising markets, while continuing to manage costs.

Our strategy of focusing on quality across all our activities, combined with the dynamism and unparalleled creativity of our teams, will enable us to reinforce once again the Group's global leadership position in luxury goods.

As of this date, no events or changes likely to significantly affect the Group's financial structure took place during the period.

The annual financial statements as of June 30, 2014 will be approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting in October, which will be followed by the publication of a financial release.
