    Gucci's recurring operating income totaled €3.3 billion in 2023. The recurring operating margin was 33.1%, as investments in implementing the House’s strategy weighed on profitability.

    Yves Saint Laurent 

    In 2023, Yves Saint Laurent’s revenue amounted to €3.2 billion, down 4% as reported and down 1% on a comparable basis. Sales from the directly operated retail network rose by 4% on a comparable basis, while revenue from Wholesale, still undergoing rationalization, was down 26% on a comparable basis.

    In the fourth quarter of 2023, sales were down 5% on a comparable basis, while revenue from the directly operated retail network was stable. Yves Saint Laurent performed well in Asia-Pacific and Japan, while sales in North America and Western Europe declined year-on-year, with trends improving sequentially. The House opened its largest store worldwide in the fourth quarter, on the Champs-Elysées in Paris. Wholesale revenue was down 39% in the fourth quarter.

    Yves Saint Laurent achieved recurring operating income of nearly €1 billion in 2023, and its recurring operating margin remained above 30%.

    Bottega Veneta

    Sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 were down 4% on a comparable basis, and up 5% in the directly operated retail network, driven by Bottega Veneta’s solid performance in North America and encouraging signs in Asia-Pacific, particularly Mainland China. Wholesale revenue was down 37% on a comparable basis.

    In 2023, Bottega Veneta achieved recurring operating income of €312 million, yielding a recurring operating margin of 19%, reflecting the House’s continuing investments.

At Alexander McQueen, sales in the directly operated retail network were up fueled by its Ready-to-Wear collections. Brioni had another very good quarter.

    Kering’s Jewelry Houses maintained their excellent momentum, with double-digit growth in the fourth quarter, driven by the success of all collections.

    The Other Houses generated recurring operating income of €212 million in 2023, while recurring operating margin fell to 6%.

    Kering Eyewear and Corporate

    In 2023, Kering Eyewear’s revenue hit a new record of €1.5 billion (up 35% as reported and up 10% on a comparable basis), benefiting from the consolidation of Maui Jim and excellent development of the brand portfolio. In the fourth quarter, sales were up 6% on a comparable basis.

    Kering Eyewear’s recurring operating income rose sharply to €276 million, reflecting Maui Jim’s contribution and the Eyewear division’s newly acquired scale.

    Taking into account Kering Beauté and Corporate costs, the Kering Eyewear & Corporate segment posted a recurring operating loss of €7 million, an improvement from 2022. Creed’s high level of profitability offset start-up costs at Kering Beauté.

    Financial performance

    The effective tax rate on recurring income was 27.4%.

    Net profit attributable to the Group was €3.0 billion.

    Dividend

    In its February 7, 2024 meeting, Kering’s Board of Directors decided to ask shareholders to approve a cash dividend of €14.00 per share at the Annual General Meeting to be held on April 25, 2024 to approve the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
    An interim dividend of €4.50 per share was paid on January 17, 2024. If approved, a final dividend of €9.50 will be paid on May 6, 2024 on positions determined on the evening of May 3, 2024. The ex-date for the final dividend payment will be the morning of May 2, 2024.

    Outlook

    To achieve its long-term vision, Kering invests in the development of its Houses, so that they continuously strengthen their desirability and the exclusivity of their distribution, strike a perfect balance between creative innovation and timelessness, and achieve the highest standards in terms of quality, sustainability, and experience for their customers. In an environment of ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainty, Kering will continue to execute on its strategy and vision, in pursuit of two key ambitions: to maintain a trajectory of long-term profitable growth, and to confirm its status as one of the most influential groups in the Luxury industry.

    In 2024, in a context of ongoing normalization of the sector’s growth, the impact of Kering’s investment strategy will weigh on the group’s full-year recurring operating income (based on the scope of consolidation and exchange rates at December 31, 2023), which should post a decline compared to the level reported in 2023, particularly in the first half of the year. The group will prioritize expenses and investments supporting the long-term development and growth of its houses, while remaining vigilant and disciplined with regards to its cost structure.

    ***

    MAIN DEFINITIONS

    “Reported” and “comparable” revenue
    The Group’s “reported” revenue corresponds to published revenue. The Group also uses “comparable” data to measure organic growth. “Comparable” revenue refers to 2022 revenue adjusted as follows by:
    -        neutralizing the portion of revenue corresponding to entities divested in 2022;
    -        including the portion of revenue corresponding to entities acquired in 2023;
    -        remeasuring 2022 revenue at 2023 exchange rates.
    These adjustments give rise to comparative data at constant scope and exchange rates, which serve to measure organic growth.

    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 Group structure, 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 a major indicator for the Group, defined as the difference between operating income and other non-recurring operating income and expenses. This intermediate line item is intended to facilitate the understanding of the operating performance of the Group and its Houses and can therefore be used as a way to estimate recurring performance. This indicator 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 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 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 an 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. Consequently, 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.
