Highlights by brand
Significant gains by the brand's long-established lines, steady performances by more recent top-selling lines
Philippe Benacin, Chairman and CEO declared:
"Noteworthy events in the second half will include the integration of Montblanc fragrances into the portfolio and the launch of new lines under the Van Cleef & Arpels and Lanvin brands. With positive growth momentum for all brands, particularly in new markets, we have raised targets for 2010 full-year sales, now expected to exceed €280 million".
(Burberry Brit and Burberry The Beat) and the launch of the Burberry Sport line (€25 million) fueled robust growth for Burberry fragrances with total sales for the first half approaching €100 million.
Lanvin fragrances, with no major launches during the period, accelerated their expansion and are now sustained by two solidly-entrenched lines, Éclat d'Arpège (+48%) and Jeanne Lanvin (+33%).
Van Cleef & Arpels fragrances, building on the positive performance of the Féerie line, has pursued its repositioning in the high-end segment with the launch of the Oriens line.
Highlights by region
New markets have confirmed their role as powerful growth drivers on strong gains in Asia (+39%) and the Middle East (+22%) while in Eastern Europe (+68%) and South America (+67%) market conditions are progressively returning to normal.
Western Europe (+15%) and North America (+14%) have for their part continued to deliver steady growth.
Christian Lacroix license agreement

Paris, July 23, 2010
Philippe Santi, Executive Vice President and CFO, added:
"Because of the particular structure of our business model and better-than-expected sales, 2010 first-half operating results should in turn achieve strong year-on-year growth".
