The world’s leading cosmetics and skincare company posted a slight increase in sales last year but a decline in net income, weighed down by the exceptional surtax on the profits of large companies. However, the year was rich in investments for the future and acquisitions (including Kering Beauté).
“A fairly decisive year for L’Oréal” with “solid results,” “despite a volatile and adverse environment, to say the least.”
This was the assessment made on February 12 during the announcement of the 2025 annual results of the world’s leading beauty company by Nicolas Hieronimus, its CEO.
And indeed, with a complicated macro and microeconomic environment, the introduction of US tariffs, and the acquisition of Kering Beauté announced at the end of 2025, L’Oréal has been busy over the past year.
