While we will be proactive in our approach to the near-term slowdown, we remain resolute in investing in our brands to forge our path forward, and to capitalize on our momentum as the markets improve.”

Selected Highlights

 

Continued cost efficiency initiatives effective in maintaining Gross profit margin: Gross profit margin for the Group decreased by 1% due to effective efforts to improve cost efficiencies. Better full-price sell-through, inventory management, and channel mix changes drove gross profit margin up 2% at Lanvin, up 7% at St. John, and up nearly 3% at Caruso. Despite lower revenue, Sergio Rossi maintained relatively flat gross profit margin, and Wolford’s gross profit margin was mainly impacted by delays from integration with a new logistics provider that resulted in an inability to absorb fixed production costs.

 

Group Adjusted EBITDA declined only 3%, period-over-period: In the face of strong topline challenges, the Group’s Adjusted EBITDA decreased from €41 million to a €42 million loss due to effective and timely cost reduction initiatives at the brand level. The Group provided resources and coordinated with brand executives in the first half to manage through the difficult market conditions.

 

Lanvin announces new Artistic Director: In June 2024, Lanvin announced that Peter Copping will be joining the brand in the second half of the year as the new Artistic Director. Mr. Copping brings to the brand and business a passion for and deep understanding of Lanvin’s heritage and a wealth of industry experience. He will lead the creative direction of both women’s and menswear and introduce his vision for Lanvin in 2025.

 

New personnel announcement: Wolford appointed Regis Rimbert as the new CEO of the brand in June 2024. Mr. Rimbert brings over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry, where he has led transformative initiatives in retail, online, and international operations.

 

Lanvin Lab 2.0: Lanvin successfully launched the second edition of Lanvin Lab with a collaboration with acclaimed contemporary artist, Erwin Wurm. Lanvin’s iconic Pencil Cat Bag and Cash sneaker were incorporated into a monumental sculpture currently on a five-city tour throughout Greater China.

 

Review of First Half 2024 Financials

 

Revenue

 

For H1 2024, the Group generated revenue of €171 million, a 20% decrease period-over-period. DTC channel revenue decreased by 14% and Wholesale revenue by 30%. Other revenue growth comprised of royalty and clearance income decreased 15% due to Lanvin’s reduction of clearance inventory. Regional revenue declined in EMEA by 27% and Greater China at 24% (Asia excluding Greater China decreased by 7%), and North America by 11%.

 

 

 

 

The main drivers of the decline in revenue were global market softness coupled with a struggling wholesale market. Additionally, Wolford had an integration issue with its new logistic provider which significantly delayed shipments, and Sergio Rossi had a strategically planned reduction in third-party production, both of which also contributed to the revenue decline.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit was €98 million, representing a 58% margin versus €125 million for H1 2023 at a margin of 59%. The Group continues to focus on scale, product mix improvements and distribution management to drive the gross profit margin expansion.

 

Contribution Profit(1)

 

Contribution profit was -€7 million. While cost reduction initiatives were undertaken, the Group was committed to investing in marketing spend with the long-term brand momentum in mind, resulting in a lower contribution profit.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the Group declined to -€42 million versus -€41 million for H1 2023, resulting from lower revenue, but offset by a reduction of fixed general and administrative expenses, decreasing from 36% to 34% of revenue. In the first half, the Group was able to effectively implement cost reductions to mitigate the revenue impact.

 

Results by Segment

 

Lanvin: Revenue decreased from €57 million in H1 2023 to €48 million in H1 2024, mainly due to a slowdown in global luxury consumption coupled with a challenging wholesale market. Retail including boutique and outlet was down only 3%, while the overall DTC channel declined by 10%; and Wholesale by 23%.

 

Globally, EMEA saw the largest decrease at 21%, driven by a decrease in European wholesale receipts. North America and APAC declined by 9% with Greater China at 14%; APAC excluding Greater China generated positive 9% growth.

 

 

 

 

Gross profit decreased to €28 million from €32 million. Gross profit margin increased from 56% to 58%, due to increased full-price sell-through and strategic inventory management. Contribution profit declined from a contribution loss of €5 million in H1 2023 to a contribution loss of €9 million in H1 2024.

 

In June 2024, Lanvin announced the September arrival of Peter Copping as Artistic Director. The house intends to propel the brand momentum from this significant appointment in the development and marketing of Mr. Copping’s debut collection launch in 2025.

 

For the balance of 2024, Lanvin is aggressively executing initiatives to increase retail and digital traffic and implement operational cost efficiencies to improve DTC profitability. The brand will continue to emphasize its leather goods and accessories offer and will further build out its seasonless carryover product offer across categories.

 

Wolford: Revenue declined by 28% from €59 million in H1 2023 to €43 million in H1 2024. The decrease was mainly drive by integration issues with its new logistics provider that resulted in significant delays in shipments. Additionally, the challenging wholesale market in Europe also impacted revenue.

 

On a channel-basis, DTC decreased by 14% and Wholesale by 53%. Geographically, EMEA saw the largest decrease at 34%, North America by 10%, and APAC by 24% with Greater China seeing a 20% decline.

 

Gross profit margin decreased to 63% from 72% due to the logistics issues as well as a planned liquidation of excess inventory. Contribution loss was €8 million.

 

In the first half, Wolford made a number of personnel changes, most notably, the appointment of Regis Rimbert as CEO. Mr. Rimbert’s experience operating in luxury fashion is extensive and he will drive second half initiatives to implement a sustainable cost model by transforming supply chain and distribution, as well as focus on brand positioning and marketing, and improve the client experience.

 

Sergio Rossi: Revenue declined from €33 million in H1 2023 to €20 million in H1 2024, or 38%. The brand had a 49% decline in its largest market, EMEA, and 22% in APAC with Greater China decreasing by 34%. The revenue impact was due to continued softness in wholesale as well as a planned reduction of third-party production. The DTC channel was down 17% overall and e-Commerce by 2%. Wholesale, which includes third-party production, decreased by 60%.

 

Gross profit margin landed at 50%, relatively flat from H1 2023, due to the change in channel mix with the decline in wholesale revenue, including the reduction of third-party production. Contribution profit declined from €6 million to €1 million. The revenue impact was mitigated by cost control initiatives to maintain positive contribution profit.

 

 

 

 

For the second half of 2024, the brand will drive cost efficiencies through planned initiatives and supply chain improvements. Sergio Rossi also plans to continue to right-size its retail fleet and overhead.

 

The brand also plans to emphasize new marketing initiatives celebrating its heritage and renowned shoe archive with the anticipated arrival of the new Creative Director, Paul Andrew. The brand announced in July 2024, that Paul Andrew will join Sergio Rossi in the second half.

 

St. John: Revenue decreased from €47 million in H1 2023 to €40 million in H1 2024, a decline of 14%. The revenue impact was consistent across the distribution channels with DTC, including e-Commerce declining by 15%; and Wholesale by 13%. North America, by far its largest market, decreased by 10%, while APAC, which represents less than 10% of revenue, was down 46%, due to general market softness.

 

Gross profit margin was significantly higher growing from 62% to 69% due to increased full-price sell-through and better channel mix. Contribution profit margin remained steady at 12% from improved marketing efficiency mitigating the decline in revenue.

 

For the second half of 2024, the brand will continue to push its “basics” product lines and further refine its retail network and overhead.

 

Caruso: Despite a challenging global luxury and wholesale environment, Caruso maintained flat revenue with a 1% decline. Caruso’s Maisons business, its third-party production unit showed some softness, but it was offset by its propriety Caruso brand business which grew by 21% with strong sales of its ready-to-wear and made-to-measure products.

 

Gross profit increased from €5 million to €6 million, and gross profit margin increased from 26% to 29% from improved in-house production efficiencies and a reduction of outsourcing. Contribution profit also increased from €4 million to €5 million, and contribution profit margin increased from 22% to 24%.

 

For the remainder of 2024, the brand will continue to expand its B2B Maisons business with new client development programs.

 

 

 

 

2024 Full-Year Outlook

 

The Group expects a challenging second half of 2024, but will remain proactive in its cost-reduction and operating efficiency efforts. Lanvin and Sergio Rossi plan to further emphasize marketing initiatives to forge their creative paths for 2025 with the additions of Peter Copping and Paul Andrew, respectively.

 

Lanvin Group will continue to focus on revenue expansion opportunities through marketing campaigns to maintain brand momentum and with a tactical approach to expand its store network.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Metrics

 

This communication includes certain non-IFRS financial measures such as Contribution Profit, Contribution Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”), and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). These non-IFRS measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. Reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable IFRS counterparts are included in the Appendix to this communication. Lanvin Group believes that these non-IFRS measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to investors about Lanvin Group. Lanvin Group believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Lanvin Group's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-IFRS measures and their nearest IFRS equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore Lanvin Group's non-IFRS measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Lanvin Group does not consider these non-IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-IFRS financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses, income and tax liabilities that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Lanvin Group's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgements by Lanvin Group about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-IFRS financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, Lanvin Group presents non-IFRS financial measures in connection with IFRS results.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Definitions

 

Our management monitors and evaluates operating and financial performance using several non-IFRS financial measures including: Contribution Profit, Contribution Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA. Our management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding our performance and improve their ability to assess financial performance and financial position. They also provide comparable measures that facilitate management’s ability to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which we operate, the financial measures that we use may not be comparable to other similarly named measures used by other companies nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS.

 

Contribution Profit is defined as revenue less the cost of sales and selling and marketing expenses. Contribution Profit subtracts the main variable expenses of selling and marketing expenses from Gross Profit, and our management believes this measure is an important indicator of profitability at the marginal level. Below contribution profit, the main expenses are general administrative expenses and other operating expenses (which include foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment losses). As we continue to improve the management of our portfolio brands, we believe we can achieve greater economy of scale across the different brands by maintaining the fixed expenses at a lower level as a proportion of revenue. We therefore use Contribution Profit Margin as a key indicator of profitability at the group level as well as the portfolio brand level.

 

Contribution Profit Margin is defined as Contribution Profit divided by revenue.

 

Adjusted Operating Profit is defined as Contribution Profit margin less General and administrative expenses

 

Adjusted EBIT is defined as profit or loss before income taxes, net finance cost, share based compensation, adjusted for income and costs which are significant in nature and that management considers not reflective of underlying operational activities, mainly including net gains on disposal of long-term assets, negative goodwill from acquisition of Sergio Rossi, gain on debt restructuring and government grants.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit or loss before income taxes, net finance cost, exchange gains/(losses), depreciation, amortization, share based compensation and provisions and impairment losses adjusted for income and costs which are significant in nature and that management considers not reflective of underlying operational activities, mainly including net gains on disposal of long-term assets, negative goodwill from acquisition of Sergio Rossi, gain on debt restructuring and government grants.
