Press release - Paris, January 26t h, 2024

Q4 Sales remain stable in a deteriorated macro-economic environment Reduction of debt and inventories, while maintaining full-price strategy 2023 landing revised

In the fourth quarter of 2023, Group sales remained stable compared to 2022 at constant exchange rates, despite a macroeconomic context that continued to deteriorate: heightened geopolitical tensions, weak household consumption and persistent inflation.

The good resilience of the Group in the United States offset a difficult month of December in Europe (particularly in France) and a less dynamic month than expected in China. Despite those headwinds, the Group decided to maintain a very strict discount policy.

Taking these elements into account, SMCP expects a performance slightly below previous announcement:

• sales around €1.230m1 ie. a growth at constant FX of +3.8% vs 2022 (previously "mid-single digit growth");
• adjusted EBIT margin between 6.4% and 6.6%1 of sales (previously "7% to 9% of sales").

In the meantime, the Group accelerated its savings plan and continued to make financial strength a priority:

• Decrease of year-end net financial debt;
• Good level of liquidity maintained;
• Reduction of inventories compared to 2022.

During the presentation scheduled on February 28th, the Group will communicate further details about 2023 annual performance and the continuation of the savings plan for 2024.
