    Gucci 

    Gucci’s 2024 revenue amounted to €7.7 billion, down 23% as reported and down 21% on a comparable basis.
    Sales from the directly operated retail network, accounting for 91% of the total, were down 21% on a comparable basis. Wholesale revenue was down 28% on a comparable basis.

    In the fourth quarter of 2024, Gucci’s revenue decreased 24% on a comparable basis. Sales from the directly operated retail network were down 21% on a comparable basis, with a slight sequential improvement in North America and Asia-Pacific. The performance of new Leather Goods lines as well as iconic Gucci lines – such as the Jackie handbag and its new interpretations – is highly encouraging. Wholesale revenue decreased 53% on a comparable basis in the fourth quarter, partly reflecting increased selectivity of distribution partners.

    Gucci’s recurring operating income totaled €1.6 billion in 2024. Recurring operating margin was 21.0%, with lower sales resulting in negative operational leverage, although that was mitigated by major efforts to streamline the cost base.

    Yves Saint Laurent 

    Yves Saint Laurent’s 2024 revenue amounted to €2.9 billion, down 9% both as reported and on a comparable basis.
    Sales from the directly operated retail network were down 7% while Wholesale revenue fell 25%, both on a comparable basis.

    In the fourth quarter of 2024, sales were down 8% on a comparable basis. Sales from the directly operated retail network, down 7% on a comparable basis, posted a notable improvement in North America and Asia-Pacific. New Leather Goods products and reinterpretation of Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic handbags were very well received. Wholesale revenue was down 35% in the fourth quarter, due in part to efforts to streamline that distribution channel.

    Yves Saint Laurent achieved recurring operating income of €593 million in 2024 and its recurring operating margin was 20.6%, reflecting the House’s investments in its collections, stores and clienteling events.

    Bottega Veneta

    In 2024, Bottega Veneta’s revenue amounted to €1.7 billion, up 4% as reported and up 6% on a comparable basis. Sales from the directly operated retail network rose 10% on a comparable basis. Wholesale revenue was down 15% on a comparable basis, due to the House’s highly selective approach to partners.

    Sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 were up 12% on a comparable basis with a 17% increase in the directly operated retail network, driven by outstanding performances in North America and Western Europe. Trends in Asia-Pacific improved. The House’s leather goods offer remains highly successful, underscoring the immense desirability of the Bottega Veneta brand. Wholesale revenue was down 10% on a comparable basis.

    Bottega Veneta’s recurring operating income totaled €255 million in 2024, yielding a recurring operating margin of 14.9%, as the House continued to make significant investments in its communications and store network.

    Other Houses 

    Revenue from Other Houses amounted to €3.2 billion in 2024, down 8% as reported and down 7% on a comparable basis. On a comparable basis, sales from the directly operated retail network were down 4%, while Wholesale revenue was down 17%.

    In the fourth quarter of 2024, sales of the Other Houses were down 4% on a comparable basis. Sales from the directly operated retail network were down 7%, while Wholesale revenue was up 9%. Balenciaga’s leather goods continued to be well received, while sales at Alexander McQueen suffered from its transition currently underway. Brioni achieved double-digit growth. Jewelry Houses continued to make progress, with a particularly healthy performance at Boucheron.

    The recurring operating loss of the Other Houses amounted to €9 million in 2024, due to negative operational leverage at Couture and Leather Goods Houses.

    Kering Eyewear and Corporate

    In 2024, total revenue of the Kering Eyewear and Corporate segment, which includes Kering Beauté, amounted to €1.9 billion, up 24% as reported and up 8% on a comparable basis.

    Kering Beauté’s revenue amounted to €323 million in 2024, as Creed was consolidated over the full year.

    Kering Eyewear, which celebrated its 10th anniversary, generated revenue of €1.6 billion in 2024, an increase of 6% on a comparable basis. In the fourth quarter, sales totaled €326 million, up 8% as reported and up 7% on a comparable basis, driven by all regions as well as the main brands in its portfolio.

    Kering Eyewear’s recurring operating income amounted to €277 million in 2024.

    Taking into account the contribution of Kering Beauté, including the full-year consolidation of Creed, and Corporate costs, the Kering Eyewear and Corporate segment generated recurring operating income of €112 million.

    In an economic and geopolitical environment that remains uncertain, Kering continues to deploy its strategy with the aim of achieving a profitable long-term growth trajectory.

    The Group is stepping up the initiatives needed to support the development and growth of its Houses, while implementing with determination the actions required to increase its efficiency.

    (1) Change on a comparable scope and exchange rate basis.

    MAIN DEFINITIONS

    “Reported” and “comparable” growth
    The Group’s “reported” growth corresponds to the change in reported revenue (previously referred to as “actual” growth) between two periods.
    The Group measures “comparable” growth (also referred to as “organic” growth) in its business by comparing revenue between two periods at constant scope and exchange rates.
    Changes in scope are dealt with as follows for the periods concerned:

    • the portion of revenue relating to acquired entities is excluded from the current period;
    • the portion relating to entities divested or in the process of being divested is excluded from the previous period.

    Currency effects are calculated by applying the average exchange rates for the current period to amounts in the previous period.

    Recurring operating income
    The Group’s operating income includes all revenues and expenses directly related to its activities, whether these revenues and expenses are recurring or arise from non-recurring decisions or transactions.
    Other non-recurring operating income and expenses consist of items that, by their nature, amount or frequency, could distort the assessment of the Group’s operating performance as reflected in its recurring operating income. They include changes in scope, the impairment of goodwill and brands and, where material, of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, capital gains and losses on disposals of non-current assets, restructuring costs and disputes.
    “Recurring operating income” is therefore an alternative performance indicator for the Group, defined as the difference between operating income and other non-recurring operating income and expenses. This indicator is intended to facilitate understanding of the operating performance of the Group and its Houses and can therefore be used as a way to estimate recurring performance. It is presented in a manner that is consistent and stable over the long term in order to ensure the continuity and relevance of financial information.

    EBITDA
    The Group uses EBITDA as an alternative performance indicator to monitor its operating performance. This financial indicator corresponds to recurring operating income plus net charges to depreciation, amortization and provisions on non-current operating assets recognized in recurring operating income.

    Free cash flow from operations, available cash flow from operations and available cash flow
    The Group uses an intermediate line item, “Free cash flow from operations”, to monitor its financial performance. This financial indicator measures net operating cash flow less net operating investments (defined as acquisitions and disposals of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets).
    The Group has also defined a new indicator, “Available cash flow from operations”, in order to take into account capitalized fixed lease payments (repayments of principal and interest) pursuant to IFRS 16, and thereby reflect all of its operating cash flows.
    “Available cash flow” therefore corresponds to available cash flow from operations plus interest and dividends received, less interest paid and equivalent (excluding leases).

    Net debt
    Net debt is one of the Group’s main financial indicators, and is defined as borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Lease liabilities are not included in the calculation of this indicator. Borrowings include put options granted to minority interests. The cost of net debt corresponds to all financial income and expenses associated with these items, including the impact of derivative instruments used to hedge the fair value of borrowings.

    Effective tax rate on recurring income
    The effective tax rate on recurring income corresponds to the effective tax rate excluding tax effects relating to other non-recurring operating income and expenses.
