LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world’s leading luxury products group, recorded revenue of 44.7 billion euros in 2020, down 17%. Organic revenue declined 16% compared to 2019. The group, which presented its 2020 results on Tuesday 26 January, owes this resistance to its fashion, leather goods, jewellery and spirits departments.
LVMH showed good resilience in 2020 in an economic environment severely disrupted by the serious health crisis that led to the suspension of international travel and the closure of the Group’s stores and manufacturing sites in most countries over a period of several months.
With an organic revenue decline of only 3% in the fourth quarter, the Group saw a significant improvement in trends in all its activities compared to the first nine months of 2020. Fashion & Leather Goods in particular, enjoyed a remarkable performance, with double-digit growth in both the third and fourth quarters. While Europe is still affected by the crisis, the United States saw a good recovery and Asia grew strongly.
Profit from recurring operations, which amounted to 8.3 billion euros in 2020, declined only 28% over the year due to a return to growth in the second half, which was up 7%. Operating margin reached 18.6% in 2020. Group share of net profit amounted to 4.7 billion euros, down 34%.
Fashion and leather goods limit the shock
A limited decline, thanks in particular to the recovery that marked the second half of the year. “The downturn was reduced to 5% in the second half of the year,” said Jean Jacques Guiony, the group’s Chief Financial Officer, at the presentation of the results on 26 January. These figures are primarily driven by the group’s major houses, such as Vuitton and Dior, which posted double-digit growth over the last few months of the year. “We already know the winners of this period. As for the losers, the period is not suitable for a portfolio review,” defended Jean-Jacques Guiony. The watches and jewellery and wines and spirits departments also fared well, with sales down by 2% and 11% respectively in the last quarter compared to the same period last year.
Bernard Arnault, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LVMH, said: “LVMH showed remarkable resilience against the unprecedented health crisis the world experienced in 2020. Our priority has been to protect the health and safety of our employees and our clients and we have provided direct support in the fight against the pandemic. Our Maisons have shown great agility and creative energy in continuing to bring to life our customers’ dreams through a unique digital experience thereby further strengthening their desirability. Our focus on dynamic innovation was accompanied by strong commitments to the environment, sustainability and inclusion. We are starting 2021 with the pleasure of welcoming the iconic jewelry Maison Tiffany and its teams to our Group. In a context that remains uncertain, even with the hope of vaccination giving us a glimpse of an end to the pandemic, we are confident that LVMH is in an excellent position to build upon the recovery for which the world wishes in 2021 and to further strengthen our lead in the global luxury market.”
