Selected Highlights

Strong growth achieved in all brands: All five brands showed year-over-year growth, with differentiated brand strategies successfully implemented that have not only led to the strong results in 2022 but also laid out a solid foundation for further improvements in 2023 and beyond.

Lanvin, the Group's flagship brand, grew global revenue by 67%, with record 145% growth in its Wholesale business, demonstrating the brand's increasing appeal and demand among global luxury retailers and buyers, especially for its accessory products. Its DTC business also grew by 39%, driven by the increased unit economics generated from its client engagement initiatives and digital strategy.

Refocused brand and product strategies showing results: One of the main drivers of growth in 2022 was the refocus of brand strategies and optimization of product categories and mix. Not only did the brands introduce new capsules and product lines, but the refocus on core products and balancing the mix led to strong results. The Group's push into accessories proved a strong driver of growth and margin.

Wolford's focus on iconic products and athleisure proved to be a winning combination; successful collaborations with GCDS, MUGLER, ALBERTA FERRETTI, and Sergio Rossi particularly paid off in attracting new clients.

Caruso leveraged the "back to elegance" trend as people returned to the workplace. St. John reinforced its "American Luxury" moniker and focused its products to reflect the direction, which yielded strong results in core DTC channel and North American region.

Lanvin further re-established its position as the iconic and oldest operating French couture house, while significantly boosting its attraction among younger consumers through accessory products including leather goods and sneakers.

Omni-channel and digital strategies led to growth in all channels: Channel initiatives in 2022 expanded both DTC and Wholesale sales. In 2022, the Group's DTC revenues increased 35% from €187 million to €253 million; and wholesale revenues increased 42% from €116 million to €165 million. In Wholesale the brands drove business development by further penetrating their existing customer base and by developing new partners. In DTC, a deliberate focus on improving client engagement at the retail-level as well as on social media resulted in growing brand awareness and strong growth in unit economics. In 2022 the Group established a strong foundation for its retail footprint which provides a solid springboard for future retail expansion plans.

Digital marketing likewise had a strong effect on the 2022 results with the brands increasingly attracting new and younger demographics. In the second half of 2022, the Group established a shared digital platform in North American powered by Shopify's innovative and agile digital solutions. Sergio Rossi and Lanvin have already successfully transitioned their North American eCommerce to this platform, which is expected to bring further growth to the brands in the coming years.

Global development strategy resulted in balanced growth across regions: In 2022 the Group saw significant growth in all of its geographies. The Group's largest region, EMEA, showed the most robust results, growing from €148 million to €214 million, a 44% increase. North America also showed solid growth of 36% from €107 million to €145 million. Notwithstanding the prolonged Covid lockdowns, Greater China, grew 13% from €43 million to €48 million. This was a gratifying result given the brands' currently limited retail footprint and the early stage of the Group's growth and brand awareness in China.

2023 Outlook

The Group will carry its strong momentum into 2023, but is aware of the macroeconomic issues, and therefore expects sustained but moderated growth with further positive contribution from the resurgence of the APAC region.

At both Group and brand-level, ongoing initiatives are being implemented to drive improved margin profile. The Group will focus on client engagement by expanding its product categories, particularly in accessories; and by implementing further initiatives in branding and marketing.
