Luca de Meo, CEO of Kering

At its meeting on February9,2026, the Board of Directors of Kering, chaired by François‑Henri Pinault, approved the consolidated financial statements for 2025. The audit procedures on these consolidated financial statements have been completed. The certification report will be issued upon completion of the review of the management report.
Following the strategic partnership with L’Oréal for the sale of Kering Beauté, expected to close in the first half of 2026, Kering Beauté activity is reclassified as discontinued operations under IFRS5. Accordingly, all 2025 figures exclude Kering Beauté. The 2024 P&L figures have also been restated on this basis.

  • Kering 2025 revenue amounted to €14.7 billion, down 13% as reported and 10% on a comparable basis.
    • Sales from the directly operated retail network, including e-commerce, declined by 11% on a comparable basis, remaining uneven across regions and Houses.
    • Wholesale revenue declined by 9% on a comparable basis, with the good performance of Kering Eyewear more than offset by the Luxury Houses’ deliberate efforts to sharpen the exclusivity of their distribution.
  • In the fourth quarter, revenue was down 9% as reported and 3% on a comparable basis, reflecting a gradual improvement over the course of the year. Sales from the directly operated retail network decreased 4% on a comparable basis. Western Europe and North America were broadly in line with Q3, while trends improved sequentially across all other regions. Wholesale and Other revenue was down 2% overall on a comparable basis, with Wholesale revenue for the Houses declining 9%.
  • Recurring operating income totaled €1.6 billion in 2025, down 33% from the 2024 level. Recurring operating margin was 11.1% in 2025 versus 14.5% in 2024, impacted by the decline in revenue.
  • Recurring net income from continuing operations attributable to the Group was €532 million. Including non-recurring items mostly related to optimization and restructuring measures, net income from continuing operations attributable to the Group amounted to -€29 million in 2025.
  • Free cash flow from operations was €4.4 billion in 2025. Excluding real estate deals in Paris, New York and Tokyo, it amounted to €2.3 billion, a decrease of 35% compared with 2024.

Gucci 

Gucci 2025 revenue amounted to €6 billion, down 22% as reported and 19% on a comparable basis. Sales from the directly operated retail network, accounting for 92% of the total, were down 18% on a comparable basis, while Wholesale revenue was down 34%.

In the fourth quarter, the House’s revenue decreased 10% on a comparable basis, showing a new sequential improvement. Sales from the directly operated retail network were also down 10% on a comparable basis. The launch of the collection La Famiglia, presented last September and rolled out progressively since early January, along with newness injection, helped revive interest in the Gucci brand. Wholesale revenue decreased 14% on a comparable basis.

Gucci recurring operating income totaled €966 million in 2025. Recurring operating margin was 16.1%, down 4.9 points compared to 2024. The negative operating leverage resulting from lower sales was partially mitigated by the continued efforts of Gucci to optimize its cost base.

Yves Saint Laurent 

Yves Saint Laurent 2025 revenue amounted to €2.6 billion, down 8% as reported and 6% on a comparable basis. Sales from the directly operated retail network were down 6% while Wholesale revenue fell 14% on a comparable basis.

In the fourth quarter, sales were stable on a comparable basis, marking another quarter of improvement. Sales from the directly operated retail network were also stable, supported by another quarter of growth in North America and a return to positive territory in Western Europe. Performance was driven by new product introductions across all categories, particularly benefiting shoes and women’s ready-to-wear. Wholesale revenue rose by 5%, supported by growth in all regions.

Yves Saint Laurent delivered recurring operating income of €529 million in 2025, with a 20.0% recurring operating margin maintained versus 2024 thanks to efficiency measures that offset negative operating leverage, while the House continued to support investments in collections, stores and clienteling.

Bottega Veneta

In 2025, Bottega Veneta revenue amounted to €1.7 billion, stable as reported and up 3% on a comparable basis. Sales from the directly operated retail network rose 4% on a comparable basis. Wholesale revenue was down 6% on a comparable basis, due to the House’s highly selective approach to partners.

In the fourth quarter, sales were up 3% on a comparable basis to their highest-ever level, with a 5% increase in the directly operated retail network, driven – as in the third quarter – by North America and Middle East. Trends in Asia Pacific continued to improve, notably in South Korea, while Japan returned to growth. New collections performed well, with positive leverage from existing and new handbag lines such as Campana and Veneta, and double‑digit growth in ready‑to‑wear and shoes. Wholesale revenue was down 9% on a comparable basis.

Bottega Veneta recurring operating income totaled €267 million in 2025, resulting in a recurring operating margin of 15.6%, up 0.7 points compared to 2024. This performance was driven by the strong contribution of directly operated stores and disciplined cost management, despite sustained investment to support the House’s development.

Other Houses

In 2025, revenue from the Other Houses amounted to €2.9 billion, down 10% as reported and down 6% on a comparable basis. On a comparable basis, sales from the directly operated retail network were down 4%, while Wholesale revenue was down 15%.

In the fourth quarter, sales from the Other Houses rose 3% on a comparable basis, with retail sales up 6% and wholesale down 9%. Retail performance at Balenciaga turned positive, driven by leather goods, Alexander McQueen continued its restructuring, and Brioni maintained strong traction. The Jewelry Houses recorded a dynamic expansion, with Boucheron delivering a double‑digit growth, Pomellato maintaining a steady trajectory, DoDo accelerating and Qeelin continuing to enjoy solid momentum.

The recurring operating income of the Other Houses amounted to -€112 million in 2025 after -€9 million in 2024, as soft performance at Balenciaga and losses at Alexander McQueen weighed on profitability despite ongoing deep restructuring efforts.

Kering Eyewear and Corporate

In 2025, total revenue in the Kering Eyewear and Corporate segment amounted to
€1.6 billion, up 1% as reported and up 3% on a comparable basis.

Kering Eyewear generated revenue of €1.6 billion in 2025, up 3% on a comparable basis. In the fourth quarter, sales totaled €319 million, down 2% as reported and up 3% on a comparable basis, driven by Western Europe, as well as the optical category. 

Kering Eyewear recurring operating income amounted to €252 million in 2025, with
a 15.8% recurring operating margin.

Taking into account Corporate costs, the Kering Eyewear and Corporate segment made a recurring operating income of -€17 million.

Financial performance

In 2025, the Group’s net financial expense totaled €594 million.

The effective tax rate on recurring income was 36.1%, up from 28.3% in 2024, mainly due to the 2025 losses generated in the United Kingdom by Alexander McQueen and the one-off impact of the reclassification of Kering Beauté into discontinued operations.

Recurring net income from continuing operations attributable to the Group was
€532 million, equivalent to €4.34 per share.

Cash flow and financial position

The Group’s free cash flow from operations was €4.4 billion in 2025. Excluding real estate deals in Paris, New York and Tokyo, it was €2.3 billion, down 35% compared with 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, the Group’s net debt amounted to €8 billion, down €2.5 billion compared with December 31, 2024.
Dividend

At its February 9, 2026 meeting, the Board of Directors of Kering decided to propose a cash ordinary dividend of €3.00 per share at the Annual General Meeting on May 28, 2026, which will vote on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

An ordinary interim dividend of €1.25 per share was paid on January 15, 2026. Subject to shareholder approval, the final ordinary dividend of €1.75 per share will be paid on June 4, 2026, based on positions recorded on the evening of June 3, 2026. The ex-dividend date will be the morning of June 2, 2026.

In addition, an exceptional dividend of €1.00 per share will be proposed related to the disposal of Kering Beauté to L’Oréal, expected to be closed in the first semester of 2026.

The exceptional dividend will be paid once the closing of Kering Beauté is completed and not before June 4, 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting.

Outlook

Kering enters 2026 with a clear objective: to return to growth and improve margins this year.

In a still uncertain macroeconomic environment, the Group prioritizes flawless execution, equipping each House with sharper, more sustainable brand strategies and the operational support required to accelerate progress.

The Capital Markets Day on April 16, 2026, will present in detail the roadmap that will guide this next phase in Kering transformation.

MAIN DEFINITIONS

“Reported” and “comparable” growth
The Group’s “reported” growth corresponds to the change in reported revenue (previously referred to as “actual” growth) between two periods.
The Group measures “comparable” growth (also referred to as “organic” growth) in its business by comparing revenue between two periods at constant scope and exchange rates.
Changes in scope are dealt with as follows for the periods concerned:

  • the portion of revenue relating to acquired entities is excluded from the current period;
  • the portion relating to entities divested or in the process of being divested is excluded from the previous period.

Currency effects are calculated by applying the average exchange rates for the current period to amounts in the previous period.

Recurring operating income
The Group’s operating income includes all revenues and expenses directly related to its activities, whether these revenues and expenses are recurring or arise from non-recurring decisions or transactions.
Other non-recurring operating income and expenses consist of items that, by their nature, amount or frequency, could distort the assessment of the Group’s operating performance as reflected in its recurring operating income. They include changes in scope, the impairment of goodwill and brands and, where material, of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, capital gains and losses on disposals of non-current assets, restructuring costs and disputes.
“Recurring operating income” is therefore an alternative performance indicator for the Group, defined as the difference between operating income and other non-recurring operating income and expenses. This indicator is intended to facilitate understanding of the operating performance of the Group and its Houses and can therefore be used as a way to estimate recurring performance. It is presented in a manner that is consistent and stable over the long term in order to ensure the continuity and relevance of financial information.

Recurring EBITDA and Adjusted recurring EBITDA
The Group uses recurring EBITDA as an alternative performance indicator to monitor its operating performance. This financial indicator corresponds to recurring operating income plus net charges to depreciation, amortization and provisions on non-current operating assets recognized in recurring operating income.
The adjusted recurring EBITDA corresponds to recurring EBITDA adjusted for IFRS 16 items and is an accurate proxy of pre‑IFRS 16 recurring EBITDA. This indicator is used to improve comparability when calculating a net debt ratio consisting of net debt (as defined below) divided by adjusted recurring EBITDA.

Free cash flow from operations, available cash flow from operations and available cash flow
The Group uses an intermediate line item, “Free cash flow from operations”, to monitor its financial performance. This financial indicator measures net operating cash flow less net operating investments (defined as acquisitions and disposals of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets).
The Group has also defined a new indicator, “Available cash flow from operations”, in order to take into account capitalized fixed lease payments (repayments of principal and interest) pursuant to IFRS 16, and thereby reflect all of its operating cash flows.
“Available cash flow” therefore corresponds to available cash flow from operations plus interest and dividends received, less interest paid and equivalent (excluding leases).
Moreover, the Group assesses the impact of acquisitions and disposals of strategic real estate assets on free cash flow from operations, considering them as scope effects on this indicator.

Net debt
Net debt is one of the Group’s main financial indicators, and is defined as borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Lease liabilities are not included in the calculation of this indicator. Borrowings include put options granted to minority interests. The cost of net debt corresponds to all financial income and expenses associated with these items, including the impact of derivative instruments used to hedge the fair value of borrowings.

Effective tax rate on recurring income
The effective tax rate on recurring income corresponds to the effective tax rate excluding tax effects relating to other non‑recurring operating income and expenses, deferred tax impairments, and any potential provisions for uncertain tax positions.
