Charenton-le-Pont, France (October 29, 2021 - 7:00 am) - EssilorLuxottica today announced that consolidated revenue including GrandVision (consolidated since July 1, i.e. for the third quarter only) totalled Euro 14,241 million in the first nine months of the year. On a comparable3 basis, consolidated revenue amounted to Euro 5,465 million in the third quarter and Euro 15,918 million in the nine months, +9.3% and +6.2% respectively at constant exchange rates1 versus the same periods of 2019.

Francesco Milleri and Paul du Saillant, CEO and Deputy CEO of EssilorLuxottica, said: "We are proud of the revenue performance our Company delivered in the third quarter of the year, keeping the pace of the fast recovery already posted in the second quarter. Including GrandVision, in its first quarter of consolidation into the Group, EssilorLuxottica's comparable3 revenue grew even faster, at 9.3% versus pre-COVID levels at constant exchange rates1. Moreover, while accelerating in revenue, our Company has materially expanded its margins, proving to which extent it can operationally leverage the business growth. This has led us to upgrade once again our outlook for the full year, now pointing to a more material operating margin lift. Such a sound performance is driven by the Company's omnichannel and open business model, its new integrated commercial initiatives and its rich innovation pipeline, all at the heart of its long-term strategy.

In the context of the World Sight Day, celebrated on October 14, we're also pleased to highlight all the initiatives the Company put in place in many different geographies to give vision a voice, while its 'Eyes on the Planet' sustainability program continues to progress nicely, based on the five pillars of carbon, circularity, world sight, inclusion and ethics".

Professional Solutions

The Professional Solutions division includes the supply of products and services to third-party eyecare professionals, which represents the Company's wholesale business. In the third quarter of the year the division's revenue reached Euro 2,583 million, up 7.3% at constant exchange rates1 compared with the same period of 2019 (+1.5% at current exchange rates).

Performance in all the regions was positive at constant exchange rates1 and accelerated versus the second quarter, supported by the Company's multiple product launches, like the new range of Crizal, Transitions XTRActive and Eyezen Kids, as well as the progressive reopenings in several key countries which were still affected by restrictions in the second quarter of the year. North America continued to drive the performance of the division, growing double digits boosted by stronger key accounts and still nicely growing independent ECPs. EMEA continued to ramp up and consolidated the recovery started in the second quarter, supported by key markets like Italy, Germany and the UK. Latin America benefited from easing restrictions and the consequent business rebound in Brazil and Mexico. Asia-Pacific turned positive, thanks to a robust performance in Mainland China and a solid rebound in India.

In terms of products, the optical category continued to expand at a healthy pace while sunglasses continued to rebound nicely, driven by North America and EMEA. Flagship brands drove the overall

divisional performance in both lenses and frames: Varilux, Crizal and Eyezen were all positive in lenses, while Ray-Ban, Oakley and the luxury license portfolio posted solid growth in frames.

Direct to Consumer

The Direct to Consumer division includes the sale of products and services directly to end consumers, which represents the Company's retail business, comprised of brick-and-mortar stores and e-commerce platforms. In the third quarter the division's revenue reached Euro 1,877 million, up 11.6% at constant exchange rates1 compared with the same period of 2019 (+6.2% at current exchange rates).

The division continued on its sound growth trajectory, recovering in EMEA and Latin America with lifting of restrictions and still growing in North America. At the opposite, the Asia-Pacific region was materially affected by new waves of COVID-19 outbreaks, in particular in Australia.

Brick-and-mortarcomparable-store sales4 were overall positive, broadly in line with the pace of the second quarter, supported by double-digit growth in North America and Latin America, more than offsetting a still slightly negative EMEA and a more negative Asia-Pacific. The optical and sun categories both contributed to the overall growth, with the main banners growing from high-single to double digits. E-commerce revenue rose by almost 50% at constant exchange rates1 in the quarter, reaching 8% of the Company's total turnover year to date, reflecting a normalization in traffic mix between digital and brick-and-mortar in a context of reopening. Ray-Ban Stories, the smartglasses launched in partnership with Facebook on September 9 with an omnichannel distribution approach, started with promising sales data and provided the online business with an additional driver.
