We are particularly satisfied about the sales of the Lancel Maison between October and December 2021 given its 29% increase versus 2020 and the 22% increase versus 2019. Net of further possible impacts related to the worsening of the pandemic situation, which are currently difficult to assess, we believe that, at the end of the fiscal year on 31 March 2022, the turnover can come close to 150 million euros with an EBITDA (ex IFRS 16) between 8 and 10 million and with the return to profitability also thanks to the reorganization of the Lancel Maison."
