Commenting on the half-year results, Mr. Stéphane Dalyac, Chairman of the Executive Board, stated: "Against the backdrop of a year-endmarked by the COVID-19health crisis, a declining Champagne market and ongoing uncertainties linked notably to the French and UK markets (Brexit), the Laurent-PerrierGroup has delivered a solid performance, with an increase in its profitability and an improvement in its operating cash flow. This performance was driven in particular by a continued positive price/mix effect and by continued investment in brand awareness. Faced with an unprecedented situation that calls for a great deal of caution, the Laurent-PerrierGroup reaffirms its desire to stay on course with its growth strategy, always relying on the quality of its champagnes, the strength of its brands and the control of its distribution. "

Evolution of the turnover

In a global champagne market that fell by -3.4% in volume over the twelve months of the financial year, Laurent-Perrier Group's turnover, relating to sales of champagne, stood at €231.3 million, i.e. a variation of -1.2% at curren t exchange rates. Excluding the currency effect, it is €230.1 million.

This performance was achieved thanks in particular to stable volumes for the Laurent-Perrier brand and a solid price/mix effect of +4.5%.

Similarly, and in line with the Group's value strategy, the Laurent-Perrier brand remained on track, with a slight increase in the share of international sales, as well as an increase in the contribution of high-end vintages to sales.

Evolution of the result

Operating profit at current exchange rates was €41. 2 million, stable compared to the previous year. Excluding the currency effect, it amounted to €40.5 million, a decrease of -2.0%.

The operating margin increased by +0.2 point, as reported, to 17.8%. At constant exchange rates, it stood at 17.6% and remained stable compared to the 2018-2019 financial year.

Financial income improved by 7.0% over the year, mainly due to a 5.2% decrease in the cost of net financial debt.

The tax rate was 31.4%, down -0.9 points compared to the previous year.

Net profit amounted to €23.8 million at current exc hange rates, up by + 2.6%. It represents 10.3% of champagne sales, compared to 9.9% at March 31, 2019.

Operating cash flow for the year was €14.3 million. It shows a significant increase of +€16.5 million, linked in particular to the improvement in cash flow generated by the activity and a decrease in investments following the completion of work on the Group's production site.

Outlook 2020/2021

Faced with this unprecedented situation, the Laurent-Perrier Group has carried out modelling work on the short, medium and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 health crisis on its activity and on its main performance indicators.

This work confirms the following points on the horizon of its 2020-2024 business plan:

• The Group continued to strengthen its financial structure by gaining the authorisation for additional financing from its banks to cover its cash requirements. On this basis, financing and liquidity are ensured.
• Business continuity is not called into question.
• Impairment tests confirm the value of the assets.

In this context, which calls for a great deal of caution, the Laurent-Perrier Group remains focused on its value strategy, which is based on four pillars:

• A single vision: The creation and sale of top-of-the-range champagnes;
• A high-quality supply based on a policy of partnerships;
• A portfolio of complementary brands;
• Well-controlledglobal distribution.

The Group is therefore confident in its ability to overcome this crisis and to pursue its value policy over the medium and long term.

Laurent-Perrier is one of the few family groups of champagne houses listed on the French stock exchange dedicated exclusively to champagne and focused on the premium segment. It offers a broad range of products renowned for their quality, around the Laurent-Perrier, Salon, Delamotte and Champagne de Castellane brands.
