REVENUE FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2024

Group third-quarter revenue: €3,786 million
down 15% as reported and down 16% on a comparable basis

With discipline and determination, we are executing a far-reaching transformation of the Group, and at Gucci in particular, at a time when the whole luxury sector faces unfavorable market conditions. This severely impacts our performances in the short term. Our absolute priority is to build the conditions for a return to sound, sustainable growth, while further tightening control over our costs and the selectivity of our investments. We have the right strategy, organization, and talents to achieve these goals.”

Fran?ois-Henri Pinault, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Group revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was €3.8 billion, down 15% as reported and down 16% on a comparable basis. The change in revenue as reported includes a negative currency effect of 1% and a positive scope effect of 2% resulting from the consolidation of Creed.

  • Sales from the directly operated retail network were down 17% on a comparable basis, once again adversely affected by lower store traffic. Trends in the various regions weakened by comparison with the second quarter and particularly in Asia-Pacific and in Japan, the latter of which suffered a significant slowdown. In North America and Western Europe, activity was contrasted across Group Houses.

  • Wholesale and Other revenue was down 12% on a comparable basis.

In the first nine months of the year, the Group generated revenue of €12.8 billion, down 12% both as reported and on a comparable basis.

Gucci 

In the third quarter, Gucci revenue amounted to €1.6 billion, down 26% as reported and down 25% on a comparable basis.
Sales from the directly operated retail network were down 25% on a comparable basis, the House being particularly impacted by market conditions, especially in Asia-Pacific. The overhaul of Gucci’s Leather Goods category, with the introduction of a host of new products late in the quarter, is well underway. Wholesale revenue was down 38% on a comparable basis, reflecting Gucci’s strategic streamlining of this distribution channel, along with difficult market conditions.
