EssilorLuxottica posted robust financial results for the first half of 2025, supported by stable growth in the second quarter. The group confirmed its growth momentum, driven by the rise of smart glasses, international expansion, and its ambitious strategy in the med-tech sector.
For the first half of the year, the group’s revenue reached €14.024 billion, up 7.3% at constant exchange rates and 5.5% on a reported basis. The balanced mix of distribution channels and geographic areas continues to play a stabilizing role for the group.
This figure was supported by steady growth in the second quarter of 2025, which ended with sales of €7.175 billion, up 7.3% at constant exchange rates compared to the same period in 2024. This performance matches that of the first quarter, reflecting linear growth that is well distributed across the different geographical areas.
Retail accelerates, B2B holds steady
Growth is mainly driven by the Direct to Consumer (DTC) segment, which includes retail sales, both in-store and online. This segment grew by 10.4% in the second quarter and 10.2% in the first six months of the year, at constant exchange rates.
Flagship brands such as Ray-Ban, Sunglass Hut, and the group’s e-commerce sites are showing strong momentum. In the first half of the year, comparable store sales grew by nearly 7%, and online business jumped by more than 25%, confirming the effectiveness of the omnichannel strategy.
