Solid results in the first half of 2025
despite the prevailing environment
. Revenue: €40 billion
. Profit from recurring operations: €9 billion
. Free cash flow: €4 billion

Paris, July 24, 2025


The Christian Dior Group recorded revenue of €39.8 billion in the first half of 2025. The Group
showed good resilience and maintained its powerful innovative momentum despite a disrupted
geopolitical and economic environment.
Local demand was solid in Europe, which achieved growth on a constant consolidation scope and
currency basis over the half-year period, and in the United States, which remained stable. Japan was
down with respect to the first half of 2024, which had been boosted by abnormal growth in tourist
spending due to the much weaker yen. The rest of Asia saw trends comparable to 2024, although there
was an improvement in sales to local customers in the second quarter.

Profit from recurring operations for the first half of 2025 came to €9 billion, equating to an operating
margin of 22.6%. Net profit amounted to €5.9 billion and the Group share of net profit amounted to
€2.4 billion.


Highlights of the first half of 2025 included the following:

• Solidity for Christian Dior in a challenging environment
• Solid local demand in Europe and the United States
• Japan down with respect to a very strong first half in 2024 driven by tourist spending
• Improved trends for champagne in the second quarter and ongoing weak demand for cognac
• Resilient local demand for Fashion & Leather Goods, which maintained a very high operating
margin
• Remarkable innovation and ongoing selective retail approach for Perfumes & Cosmetics
• Success of the Watches & Jewelry Maisons’ iconic lines and Tiffany & Co.’s renovated stores
• Good performance by Sephora, which continued to achieve growth in both revenue and profit
• Significant increase in operating free cash flow to €4 billion

Wines & Spirits: Improved trends for champagne; weak demand for cognac

The Wines & Spirits business group saw its revenue and operating profit decline in the first half of
2025. The first half of 2025 saw trends similar to those observed in 2024, largely due to the impact on
customers of trade tensions weighing on the key markets of the United States and China. In this
context, the Wines & Spirits business group was down during the period, with a sequential
improvement in champagne and a good performance in Provence rosé wines. To sustain demand and
strengthen their desirability, the Maisons launched large-scale initiatives in the first half of the year
while working to keep their costs under control.

Fashion & Leather Goods: Good resilience with local customers

The Fashion & Leather Goods business group saw its revenue and profit decline in the first half of
2025, nevertheless showing good resilience with local customers, whereas the first half of 2024 had
been boosted by strong growth in tourist spending, particularly in Japan. The operating margin
remained at a very high level. Louis Vuitton continued to demonstrate powerful creativity through its
continuously reinvented iconic products and unique experiences offered by its “Maisons”. A prime
example was “The Louis”, a museum-like space in the form of a cruise ship located in the heart of
Shanghai, epitomizing the “spirit of travel” that has driven the Maison since its founding in 1854 by
Louis Vuitton himself. It was also reflected by Nicolas Ghesquière’s latest show at the Palais des
Papes in Avignon, and Pharrell Williams’ show held in Paris. Christian Dior Couture appointed
Jonathan Anderson as the new Creative Director of Haute Couture, Men’s and Women’s collections of
clothing and accessories. His first Men’s collection, unveiled in June at the Hôtel des Invalides in
Paris, was an immense success. Victoire de Castellane presented her Diorexquis high jewelry
collection, an ode to Monsieur Dior’s love of nature. Loro Piana celebrated its 100th anniversary with
its first-ever exhibition at the Museum of Art in Shanghai. The Resort 2025 line and the Maison’s
Icons delivered a remarkable performance. Fendi kicked off its centennial celebration in Milan with a
coed runway show led by Silvia Fendi at the Maison’s new “Solari” location. Celine presented
Michael Rider’s first collection, while Givenchy unveiled the first collection designed by Sarah
Burton. Both collections were particularly well received. At Loewe, Jack McCollough and Lazaro
Hernandez were announced as the Maison’s new Creative Directors.

Perfumes & Cosmetics: Remarkable innovation and selective retail approach

The Perfumes & Cosmetics business group remained stable in the first half of 2025, maintaining its
robust innovation policy and highly selective retail approach. Parfums Christian Dior developed its
iconic fragrances, with Sauvage, which remained the world’s best-selling fragrance, J’adore Eau de
Parfum and the launch of Dior Homme, as well as the addition in high perfumery of the new Bois
Talisman scent to La Collection Privée. Successful innovations in makeup (within Forever and Dior
Addict) and skincare contributed to the Maison’s solid performance. Guerlain was buoyed by the latest
additions to its Aqua Allegoria and L’Art & La Matière fragrance lines, as well as the global relaunch
of its Abeille Royale skincare serum. Parfums Givenchy benefited from the development of L’Interdit
and the success of Prisme Libre in makeup. Maison Francis Kurkdjian unveiled Kurky, a new
fragrance.




3/10
Watches & Jewelry: Sustained innovation in jewelry and watches; ongoing renovation of
Tiffany & Co. stores

The Watches & Jewelry business group remained stable in the first half of 2025. The decline in profit
from recurring operations arose from ongoing investments in store renovations and communications.
Tiffany & Co. continued the successful expansion of its iconic lines and the global rollout of its new
store concept inspired by The Landmark in New York. Bvlgari showcased the emblematic Serpenti
through immersive art exhibitions in Shanghai and Seoul, kicking off celebrations of the Year of the
Snake. The new Polychroma high jewelry collection was unveiled in Taormina. Chaumet continued to
actively develop its emblematic Bee de Chaumet jewelry line. In watches, TAG Heuer implemented
the partnership signed in 2024 with Formula 1, particularly at the Monaco Grand Prix, where the
Maison became the event’s first partner. Hublot celebrated the 20th anniversary of its Big Bang
collection and Zenith celebrated its 160th anniversary.

Selective Retailing: Further growth achieved by Sephora; improved profitability for DFS

The Selective Retailing business group saw growth in its revenue and profit. Against a particularly
high basis of comparison, Sephora continued to achieve revenue growth, drawing on its robust strategy
and consolidating its global leadership position. The Maison saw further market share gains in many
countries and continued to grow its community of loyal customers through its product differentiation
strategy and innovation to enhance the omnichannel experience. At DFS, measures to reduce costs and
streamline operations – including the closure of the Galleria in Venice – helped improve profitability,
despite business activity still being held back by prevailing international conditions. Le Bon Marché
once again posted revenue growth, driven by the department store’s differentiation strategy focused on
a continuously renewed selection of products and a unique array of cultural events. The Group
strengthened the organization of its department stores by implementing a shared governance structure
for La Samaritaine and Le Bon Marché.

Outlook for 2025

In an uncertain geopolitical and economic environment, the Group remains confident and will
maintain a strategy focused on continuously enhancing the desirability of its brands, drawing on the
exceptional quality of its products and excellence in retail.
Our strategy of focusing on the highest quality across all of our activities, combined with the energy
and unparalleled creativity of our teams, will enable us to reinforce the Christian Dior group’s global
leadership position in luxury goods once again in 2025.

An interim dividend of €6.05 will be paid on Thursday, December 4, 2025, enabling Christian Dior to
distribute a larger portion of the dividend received from LVMH.
