DISCLAIMER

"This first semester ended by confirming the main market dynamics and trends by brand recorded in Q1.

In the second quarter, sales performance was more negatively impacted by the Jimmy Choo exit, while benefitting from the significant growth of Carrera and David Beckham.

Notwithstanding a business environment which remained challenging, we continued to improve our economic and financial performance, reinvesting the positive operating cash flow in the continuous strengthening and development of our brand portfolio."
