NOTES TO THE PRESENTATION

  • 1 Organic sales performance is provided at constant exchange rates and includes only the home brands and not terminated licenses, present in both of the compared periods, excluding the business attributable to the supply contract with Kering Eyewear.
  • 2 In 2022, the adjusted economic results excluded net non-recurring costs for Euro 5.0 million (Euro 4.4 million at the EBITDA level), due to some special projects costs and restructuring expenses, partially offset by the release of a restructuring provision. In Q4 2022, the adjusted EBITDA excluded non-recurring cost for Euro 2.7 million.

In 2021, adjusted economic results excluded non-recurring costs for Euro 23.8 million (Euro 10.9 million at the gross profit level, and Euro 19.2 million at the EBITDA level), mainly related to the closure of the Ormož production plant in Slovenia, and also a nonrecurring income of Euro 17 million due to the release, booked in Q2 2021, of a provision for risks and charges in relation to an investigation by the French Competition Authority. The release was a result of the positive outcome, without sanctions, of this investigation. In Q4 2021, the adjusted EBITDA excluded non-recurring costs for Euro 1.8 million (Euro 0.7 million at the gross profit level).

  • 3 Net sales excluding the business attributable to the supply contract with Kering Eyewear.
  • 4 Pro-forma performance, including Blenders and Privé Revaux as if their acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018.
