Although numerous instances of geopolitical turmoil in the spring intensified consumers' wait-and-see attitude in many markets, business remained robust in the first half of 2025. Consolidated sales reached €447m, in line with expectations, increasing by 5.8% at current exchange rates and 6.1% at constant exchange rates compared with the first half of 2024.

Given the increasing weight of the US subsidiary, which posted a near 20% increase in sales in H1 2025, the consolidated gross margin improved by 60 basis points vs. H1 2024.

This favorable trend, combined with a limited increase in marketing and advertising expenses and ongoing control of fixed costs, resulted in operating profit of close to €104m in the first half of 2025. At 23.2%, the operating margin increased by more than a point compared to last year.

Lastly, despite the deterioration in the euro/dollar exchange rate in the second quarter, net income attributable to owners of the parent in H1 2025 was €73.1m, 5% higher than in H1 2024. The net margin remained high at 16.4%.

Balance Sheet - €m 12/31/24 06/30/25 25/24
Inventory 229.7 234.8 +2%
Cash and financial assets 190.6 90.1 -53%
Shareholders' equity attributable to owners of the parent 697.0 679.6 -2%
Borrowings and financial liabilities 133.4 164.5 +23%

Although 4% lower vs. 2024 in a context of sustained growth, inventories of components and finished goods remained high as of June 30, 2025, reflecting the procurement challenges experienced in recent years. However, they have been on a declining trend since peaking in mid-2024, supported by shorter lead times over the past 18 month.

Consistent with prior years, the payment of last year's dividend and corporate income tax, along with the acquisition this year of the Annick Goutal trademarks and the purchase of additional real estate assets, temporarily impacted the cash position in the first half of 2025.

Two new loans totaling €50m to refinance these acquisitions coupled with the ongoing repayment of various loans resulted in a net change of €31m in borrowings and financial liabilities.

Despite this, the balance sheet remains extremely sound, with nearly €680m in shareholders' equity attributable to owners of the parent at June 30, 2025.

Governance

On Monday, September 8, the Board of Directors decided, based on the recommendation of the Governance, Nominations & Compensation Committee, to co-opt Natalie Bader Messian as an independent director to replace Véronique Morali, who resigned as a result of holding multiple board mandates, for the remainder of her term of office, i.e. until the 2026 Shareholders' Meeting. This co-option will be submitted for ratification at the 2026 Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting. Natalie Bader Messian has 30 years of experience in cosmetics, fashion, jewelry and retail and has held several senior management positions at Chanel, Sephora, Fred, Prada and Clarins

Tariffs

The US administration's announcement in April of import tariffs at a rate of 10% prompted the company to increase its retail prices by around 5 to 7% as of August 1, 2025. Given that the rate of these tariffs is now 15%, the company is reviewing additional options to further limit their impact on the Group's profitability.

Philippe Benacin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: "Despite a lack of visibility linked to an unstable international situation, an unfavorable euro/dollar exchange rate and a prudent commitment on the part of our partners, our 2025 sales are projected to be approximately €900m. This situation confirms our strategy, which has a proven track record, and the suitability of our products for the fragrance market. Fiscal years 2026 and 2027 therefore appear to be promising thanks to the addition of the Off-White, Annick Goutal and Longchamp brands to the portfolio and a program of major launches across the catalog. For these many reasons, I am very confident about our three-year strategy."

Philippe Santi, Executive Vice President, added: "Our development model and our flexible, responsive organization enable us, for the record, to steer the growth/profitability combination. They help to improve our profitability in case of strong sales growth while preserving this same profitability in case of slower growth."
