LVMH shows good resilience in the current context
Paris, October 15, 2024
LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world’s
leading high-quality products group, recorded revenue of
€60.8 billion in the first nine months of 2024, stable on a
constant consolidation scope and currency basis despite the current
context and a high basis of comparison, following several years of
exceptional post-Covid growth. Europe and the United States posted
slight growth on a constant consolidation scope and currency basis;
Japan continued to achieve double-digit revenue growth; the rest of
Asia reflected in particular the strong growth in spending by
Chinese customers in Europe and Japan.
In the third quarter, the slight decline in revenue mainly arose
from lower growth seen in Japan, essentially due to the stronger
yen.

* On a constant consolidation scope and currency basis. For
the Group, the impact of changes in scope with respect to the first
nine months of 2023 was -1%; the impact of exchange rate
fluctuations was -2%.
The Wines & Spirits
business group saw a revenue decline (-8% organic) in the first
nine months of 2024. Champagne was down, reflecting the ongoing
normalization of post-Covid demand, but remained significantly
higher than in 2019. Hennessy cognac was held back by weak local
demand in the Chinese market, while the United States saw a return
to growth in the second quarter, in a market that remained
cautious. In Provence rosé wines, Château d’Esclans stepped up its
international expansion. The joint venture with Beyoncé
Knowles-Carter gave rise to a new American whisky, SirDavis. A
strategic partnership with French Bloom, the market leader in
premium alcohol-free sparkling wine, was also announced.
The Fashion & Leather Goods
business group, which was broadly stable on an organic basis over
the first nine months of 2024, showed good resilience and gained
market share. Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior both enjoyed high
visibility over the summer with the Paris 2024 Olympic and
Paralympic Games. Louis Vuitton was once again driven by its
remarkable capacity for innovation in the world of travel. Many new
products were unveiled in leather goods. Victory travels in Louis
Vuitton: bespoke trunks, handcrafted in its historic Asnières
workshops, held the world’s most prestigious sports trophies, such
as those of the Louis Vuitton Cup and the 37th America’s Cup in
Barcelona, as well as the torches and medals of the Paris 2024
Olympic and Paralympic Games. Christian Dior maintained its
creative momentum, fusing heritage and modernity, as seen in its
new Miss Dior line. The L’Or de Dior exhibition
at the Guardian Art Center in Beijing honored the Maison’s strong
ties with China through the prism of art. New My Dior
designs featuring Dior’s iconic cannage stitching
celebrated and reinterpreted traditional jewelry-making
craftsmanship. Loro Piana, Loewe and Rimowa confirmed their solid
momentum. The Group welcomed two new creative directors: Michael
Rider at Celine and Sarah Burton at Givenchy.
The Perfumes & Cosmetics
business group achieved organic revenue growth of 5% in the first
nine months of 2024, driven by its powerful innovation strategy and
highly selective distribution policy. Christian Dior achieved an
excellent performance. Sauvage continued to achieve solid
growth, consolidating its position as the world’s leading
fragrance, while Rihanna became the new face of iconic women’s
perfume J’adore. The new Miss Dior Parfum edition
was a major success. Makeup and premium skincare also contributed
to the Maison’s strong performance. Guerlain enjoyed solid momentum
in fragrances, driven in particular by its exceptional L’Art
& La Matière collection and the addition of its new
Florabloom scent to the Aqua Allegoria line.
Givenchy continued to see growth, driven by its new L’Interdit
Absolu fragrance. Fenty Beauty launched a new range of
haircare products and expanded its retail presence in China.
The Watches & Jewelry
business group saw a slight decline on an organic basis in the
first nine months of 2024. Tiffany & Co. continued to showcase
its iconic lines through its global “With Love, Since 1837”
campaign. The new Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams
collection was exceptionally well received, while the Maison
celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first pieces designed by
Elsa Peretti. It continued to successfully roll out its new store
concept in its main markets. Bulgari celebrated its
140th anniversary with Zendaya, Anne Hathaway and Yifei, who
starred in the “Eternally Reborn” brand campaign. This celebration
included the launch of a new jewelry collection, Bulgari
Tubogas, inspired by the 1940s icon, reinterpreted in a bold,
timeless yellow gold edition. Chaumet enjoyed high visibility
during the summer with the awarding of the medals for the Paris
2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, created by its design
studio.
The announcement of LVMH’s 10-year global partnership with
Formula 1 was a major highlight, in which several of LVMH’s
iconic Maisons – in particular Louis Vuitton, Moët Hennessy and TAG
Heuer – will be involved starting in 2025.
In Selective Retailing, organic
revenue growth was 6% in the first nine months of 2024. Sephora
performed remarkably well and continued to gain market share in
North America, Europe and the Middle East. DFS saw business
activity remain below its 2019 pre-Covid level, with marked
differences in tourist traffic between its various destinations. Le
Bon Marché continued to achieve growth, driven by the department
store’s differentiation strategy, with its continuously renewed
selection of products and services and unique slate of events.
OUTLOOK
In an uncertain economic and geopolitical
environment, the Group remains confident and will maintain a
strategy focused on continuously enhancing the desirability of its
brands, drawing on the authenticity and quality of its products,
excellence in distribution and agile organization.
LVMH will draw on its powerful brands and the talent of its teams
to reinforce its global leadership position in luxury goods once
again in 2024.
Apart from the information mentioned in this
press release, during the quarter and to date, no events or changes
have occurred that could significantly modify the Group’s financial
structure.
