AD HOC ANNOUNCEMENT PURSUANT TO ART. 53 LR
16 JULY 2024


RICHEMONT REPORTS RESILIENT SALES 
FOR ITS FIRST QUARTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Highlights
* Sales up 1% at constant exchange rates, down 1% at actual exchange rates, against
demanding comparatives in the prior-year period (+19% and +14%, respectively) and
despite persistent macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties
* Growth across all regions, except for Asia Pacific, driven by Japan and the
Americas, both at actual and constant exchange rates
* Further progression in direct-to-client sales, most notably at the Jewellery
Maisons 
* Mid-single digit growth at the Jewellery Maisons and the Group's 'Other' business
area (which includes the Group's Fashion & Accessories Maisons) offsetting lower
sales at the Specialist Watchmakers impacted by strong exposure to Asia Pacific
