The Wines & Spirits
business group saw a revenue decline (-12% organic) in the first
quarter of 2024. Champagne was down, reflecting the normalization
of post-Covid demand. Moreover, the beginning of the year was
compared to strong growth in the first quarter of 2023, due in
particular to restocking among distributors. Hennessy cognac was
once again hampered by a cautious attitude among retailers, which
limited their orders in an environment that remained uncertain in
the United States. Among Provence rosé wines, the prestigious
Minuty estate was included in the first-quarter accounts for the
first time.
The Fashion & Leather Goods
business group achieved organic revenue growth of 2% in the first
quarter of 2024. Louis Vuitton made an excellent start to the year,
once again buoyed by the creativity and quality of its products.
The Maison celebrated ten years of Nicolas Ghesquière’s designs for
Louis Vuitton at his latest Women’s show, held in the Louvre’s Cour
Carrée courtyard in Paris. Pharrell Williams presented his new
Men’s collection, inspired by the classic American West wardrobe.
His vision of the Speedy P9 bag, featuring a range of new colors,
was a major success. Illustrating Louis Vuitton’s support for Paris
2024 and its long history as a master trunk-maker, the Maison
unveiled the unique trunks designed to house the medals and torches
for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Christian Dior
continued to show remarkable creative momentum in all its products.
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Kim Jones continued to pay tribute to the
Maison’s iconic designs, raising Dior’s visibility to record levels
– with as many as 390 million views for the livestream show of its
Women’s Winter 2024 ready-to-wear collection – while a new series,
entitled The New Look, retraced the creation and rise of the House
of Dior. The opening in Geneva of an exceptional store designed by
architect Christian de Portzamparc was a highlight of the quarter.
Celine’s new Collection de l’Arc de Triomphe, designed by Hedi
Slimane, continued to elevate the brand’s desirability. Loewe
launched its first major exhibition in Shanghai, commissioned by
Jonathan Anderson, as a tribute to the Maison’s Spanish heritage.
Fendi expanded its Selleria leather goods line. Loro Piana once
again achieved excellent momentum in all its product categories.
Rimowa and Berluti experienced a good start to the year.
The Perfumes & Cosmetics
business group achieved organic revenue growth of 7%, driven by its
powerful innovative momentum and selective distribution strategy.
Christian Dior delivered an excellent performance, spurred by the
ongoing success of iconic fragrances Sauvage, J’adore and Miss
Dior, the new Parfum edition of which showed remarkable results.
The relaunch of Rouge Dior in makeup and the Capture skincare line
also contributed to the Maison’s rapid growth. Guerlain was buoyed
by robust demand for its Aqua Allegoria fragrances, enriched with a
new Florabloom version, as well as its new Abeille Royale creams
and the success of Terracotta in makeup. Parfums Givenchy was
boosted by the expansion of its L’Interdit fragrance. Maison
Francis Kurkdjian posted solid growth, driven in particular by its
iconic Baccarat Rouge 540.
The Watches & Jewelry
business group was down slightly (-2% organic) in the first quarter
of 2024. In jewelry, Tiffany & Co. continued the global rollout
of its new store concept inspired by The Landmark in New York,
where it launched its first exhibition, Culture of Creativity,
celebrating the Maison’s long-standing commitment to artistic
excellence. A comprehensive communication campaign, showcasing its
icons, has just been launched worldwide and has met with great
success. Bulgari continued to showcase the iconic Serpenti and
relaunch its B.zero1 collection. The Maison announced the launch of
Fondazione Bulgari, a foundation dedicated to preserving cultural
and craft heritage, and to passing on skills in Italy. Chaumet
unveiled the medals for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic
Games, created by the Maison’s design studio, and Fred launched its
new “Sunshine Jeweler” communication campaign. Creative momentum
remained strong in watchmaking, with a wide range of innovations by
TAG Heuer, Hublot and Zenith presented in Miami at the fifth LVMH
Watch Week.
In Selective Retailing, organic
revenue growth was 11% in the first quarter of 2024. Sephora once
again achieved remarkable growth, continuing to gain market share.
Growth remained particularly strong in North America, Europe and
the Middle East. The store network continued to expand,
particularly in North America. DFS remained below its 2019
pre-Covid level of business activity, with international travel
only partially recovering in Europe and at flagship destinations
Hong Kong and Macao.
In an uncertain geopolitical and economic
environment, LVMH remains both vigilant and confident at the start
of the year. The Group will continue to pursue its strategy focused
on the development of its brands, driven by a sustained policy of
innovation and investment as well as by a constant quest for
quality in its products, their desirability and their
distribution.
LVMH will rely on the talent and motivation of
its teams, the diversity of its businesses and the good
geographical balance of its revenue to further strengthen its
global leadership position in luxury goods in 2024.
