Paris, July\u00a027, 2026<\/p>\n

LVMH Mo\u00ebt Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world\u2019s leading high-quality products group, recorded revenue of \u20ac38.6\u00a0billion in the first half of 2026. LVMH maintained its innovative momentum and remained very solid in a geopolitical and economic environment that remained disrupted, amplified by the conflict in the Middle East. Growth accelerated in the second quarter, with organic revenue growth for the Group of 3% (4% excluding the impact of the conflict in the Middle East).
The United States saw growth accelerate and had a good first half of the year. Asia (excluding Japan) saw strong growth, confirming the improvement in trends observed starting in the second half of 2025. Japan posted growth for the half-year period and Europe showed good resilience. <\/p>\n

Profit from recurring operations for the first half of 2026 came to \u20ac8.7\u00a0billion, equating to an operating margin that remained high at 22.5%. The Group share of net profit amounted to \u20ac5.7 billion, stable year on year.<\/p>\n

Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of LVMH, commented: \u201cLVMH demonstrated its solidity and effective strategy. Our Maisons\u00a0\u2013 which remained focused on ensuring the utmost quality in our products, and several of which are pursuing their creative renewal\u00a0\u2013 continued to inspire dreams and enhance their desirability. Accelerating growth in the second quarter arose in particular from the success of Jonathan Anderson\u2019s first designs for Christian Dior, the remarkable performance of Louis Vuitton\u2019s exceptional new stores in Beijing and Seoul, and Tiffany and Bvlgari\u2019s iconic lines. Strong growth at Sephora and the recovery in champagne and cognac also contributed to this excellent momentum. While continuing to pay very close attention to margins, we are entering the second half of the year with renewed confidence in the long-term potential of our Maisons and in our highly committed teams to continue to stand out and reinforce LVMH\u2019s leadership position. The latest edition of our Journ\u00e9es Particuli\u00e8res<\/i> events will showcase the invaluable expertise of our craftspeople and the rich heritage of our Maisons, offering an array of unique experiences.\u201d <\/p>\n
