DISCLAIMER

This presentation may contain forward looking statements based on current expectations and projects of the Group in relation to future events. Due to their specific nature, these statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, as they depend on certain circumstances and facts, most of which being beyond the control of the Group. Therefore actual results could differ, even to a significant extent, with respect to those reported in the statements.

"2021 represents a fresh start for our Group, after two years of significant business turnarounds to establish a stronger and more resilient business model, with a diversified brand portfolio and a supply chain right-sized to market reality.

We are pleased about this very positive start to the year, which saw our Q1 2021 sales and economic results exceed the first quarter of 2019.

These results are particularly relevant for us as they were achieved in a health and business environment which remained in the meantime tough in a number of countries and distribution channels, representing a first, encouraging testimony of the growth the Group can aim for thanks to its new business levers."

  • An important brand addition and a significant opportunity to grow in the fashion luxury segment
  • First optical and sunglass collections both for men and women – hitting the market in January 2022, for the new spring/summer season

BUSINESS UPDATE IN RELATION TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

In the month of April, sales trends remained strong, still driven by outstanding growth in the United States, in the online business and by the progress of a number of emerging countries.

Retail restrictions and the uncertainties surrounding stores re-openings in some countries instead prevented a material rebound in Europe.

Based on the current visibility on the order book, we expect our total net sales for the second quarter of 2021 to normalize compared to the exceptional Covid-19 related decline recorded in the second quarter of last year, aiming to slightly surpass Q2 2019, at constant exchange rates.
