Highlights by brand
- With more than €20 million in sales for the first quarter, up 32% from one year earlier, Montblanc fragrances have continued to grow rapidly, driven by steady gains from the first men's line Legend (+20%) to which were added initial sales from Emblem, the second men's line launched in May.
- Particularly high order intake for Éclat d'Arpège and the launch of the Lanvin Me line in last year's first-quarter, combined with the general downturn in the Russian market at the start of this year, adversely impacted Lanvin fragrance sales for this quarter. However, sales for the year will be sustained by the Lanvin Me L'Eau line's upcoming launch.
- Jimmy Choo fragrance sales reached €12.7 million, mechanically down from the prior year reflecting the strong 2013 first quarter launch of the Flash line. Based on higher than expected receipt of orders for Jimmy
Choo Man to be launched in the fall, more robust sales may be foreseen for the second half.
- Currently in the launch phase, Karl Lagerfeld fragrances had nearly €10 million in sales, in line with forecasts, with the first fragrance line developed by the company, which was rolled out during March.
- The launches of the Rêve and Boucheron Place Vendôme lines in 2013 have boosted growth for Van Cleef & Arpels and Boucheron fragrances respectively.
- Balmain fragrances got off to a good start for the year following higher than expected initial in-store sales for the Extatic line launched in January.
- With sustained demand for l'Eau de Toilette, Repetto is moving ahead with its gradual rollout in France, pending the upcoming July launch of l'Eau de Parfum. In international markets, the pace of development will be slower, reflecting the brand's emerging notoriety over time.
Highlights by region
- North America, South America and Western Europe had growth in the 25%-35% range like-for-like(1) driven in particular by the Montblanc Legend line's continuing success and the launch of the Karl Lagerfeld lines.
- Eastern Europe experienced a 12% decline in sales against the backdrop of the Russian market's downturn and the ruble's strong depreciation.
- France maintained its momentum with 20% growth in the period.
Outlook
With revenue for the start of the year on track, and despite an adverse trend for the euro/dollar exchange rate, the company maintains its annual sales target of €280 million for 2014.
