After a record performance in 2023-24, the Swiss group is marking time in the first quarter of the current financial year, dragged down by Chinese activity, wholesale sales and the watch division. All this against the backdrop of a governance reshuffle and rumours about the intentions of Bernard Arnault, a modest shareholder.<\/h4>\n

Richemont’s first quarter 2024<\/strong><\/b> confirms what was already apparent in the last three months of 2023.<\/p>\n

Slow first quarter<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

After a 2023-24 financial year marked by an all-time record, Richemont has just revealed a sluggish first quarter, weighed down by China, its wholesale sales and its watch division.<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The group – which notably owns Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Chlo\u00e9 <\/strong><\/b>– reported sales down 1% on a reported basis, but up 1% at constant exchange rates,<\/strong><\/b> to 5.27 billion euros for its first quarter 2024-25, ended June 30 this year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a press release, however, the world’s third-largest luxury group believes that“after growing by 19% (at constant exchange rates) in the prior-year period<\/strong><\/b>“, these latest results demonstrate “its resilience in a still uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The luxury group’s detailed results reveal several Achilles’ heels.<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n
