Hermès International SCA, a renowned luxury goods manufacturer, is known for its high-quality leather goods, fashion accessories, and ready-to-wear collections, operating primarily in the luxury retail sector with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship and exclusivity. In the first half of 2025, Hermès reported robust financial results with a revenue of €8 billion, marking an 8% increase at constant exchange rates compared to the same period in 2024. The company’s recurring operating income rose by 6% to €3.3 billion, reflecting a solid performance across all geographical regions.
Key financial highlights include a 12% growth in the Leather Goods and Saddlery sector, driven by increased production capacities and strong demand. The Ready-to-wear and Accessories sector also saw a 6% increase, bolstered by successful new collections. However, the Perfume and Beauty sector experienced a 4% decline due to tough comparisons with the previous year’s product launches. Geographically, Japan and the Americas showed significant growth, with 16% and 12% increases, respectively, while Europe excluding France grew by 13%.
Despite facing challenges such as currency fluctuations, which negatively impacted revenue by €77 million, Hermès maintained a strong net cash position of €10.7 billion after distributing dividends. The company’s commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices was evident in its workforce expansion, with over 500 new hires, and its continued efforts in diversity and environmental initiatives.
Looking ahead, Hermès remains optimistic about its growth prospects, aiming for continued revenue expansion at constant exchange rates despite global economic uncertainties. The company plans to leverage its integrated artisanal model, balanced distribution network, and creative collections to sustain its long-term development strategy.
