Group Revenue Growth
Net revenues of EUR 5.7 billion, up 9% versus FY24 at constant FX and +8% organic year‑on‑year (reported growth +5% after a c.380 bps FX headwind). This marks the fifth consecutive year of group growth.
Retail Sales Momentum
Retail sales of EUR 5.1 billion, up 8% organic versus FY24 and up 28% versus FY23 at constant FX; retail was the key top‑line driver with like‑for‑like full‑price sales plus contributions from average price and full‑price volumes.
Miu Miu Outperformance
Miu Miu retail sales grew 35% to EUR 1.6 billion; Q4 +20% (vs +84% prior year) and brand contribution to group retail sales rose to 31% from 25% in FY24. Management expects continued growth and strong desirability.
Strong Adjusted Profitability
EBIT adjusted of EUR 1.32 billion with an EBITA adjusted margin of 23.2% including one month of Versace; pre‑Versace EBIT adjusted margin was steady versus 2024 and on a constant currency basis margin improved year‑on‑year.
Net Income and Cash/Balance Sheet Strength
Net income of EUR 852 million, +2% vs FY24. Healthy balance sheet with net debt of EUR 466 million after CapEx and the Versace acquisition (EUR 1.2 billion acquisition, EUR 420 million dividends).
Geographic Gains
Regionally positive performance: Americas +18% (15% organic), Asia Pacific +11% (10% organic), Europe +5% (4% organic), Japan +3%, Middle East +15% — growth across all regions despite mixed comp dynamics.
Margin and Cost Discipline
Gross margin improved by c.50 bps to 8.3% (as reported) benefiting from operating leverage and channel mix; G&A efficiencies and operating leverage more than offset higher marketing and selling costs.
Operational Improvements: Working Capital & Inventory
Net working capital and inventory control improved year‑on‑year on an organic basis; 'incidents on net sales' improved from 15% to 14%.
Strategic Investment in Brand, Digital and ESG
Continued higher‑than‑proportionate investment in people, desirability, digital/AI tools and store hospitality while maintaining profitability. ESG progress includes exceeding SBT for Scope 1 & 2 emissions, gender equality certification in Italy, and ocean education initiatives.
Acquisition of Versace and Leadership Appointments
Versace acquisition closed Dec 2; full‑year Versace revenues ~EUR 680 million (pro‑forma). Pieter Mulier appointed Chief Creative Officer (joining July) and initial integration/repositioning plan underway to restore premium full‑price positioning.
