Paris, October 12, 2026

LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world’s leading high-quality products group, recorded revenue of €57.1 billion in the first nine months of 2026. Organic revenue growth came to 2%. Backed by its diverse range of businesses, LVMH remained very solid in an uncertain geopolitical and economic environment, and maintained its innovative momentum.
In the third quarter, organic revenue growth reflected the impact on business activity of a less buoyant environment in China, while the United States, Europe and Japan saw good growth.

The Wines & Spirits business group recorded organic revenue growth of 5% in the first nine months of 2026. The champagne business saw further signs of the recovery observed since the beginning of the year, particularly in Europe. Moët & Chandon continued to enjoy a high-profile presence during its second season as the Official Champagne of Formula 1 Grand Prix races. Hennessy cognac saw good momentum in Asia, while the US market benefited from the launch of the new VS range of ready-to-serve cocktails. Provence rosé wines continued to make good progress.

The Fashion & Leather Goods business group continued to benefit from the buoyant US market but was affected in the third quarter by the slowdown in demand in China. The creative renewal of our Maisons bore fruit. Louis Vuitton paid tribute to its iconic bags for the 130th anniversary of the Monogram, revisiting the original canvas used for the Maison’s first trunks with the new Monogram Emblème jacquard weave. Ready-to-wear collections designed by Nicolas Ghesquière saw good momentum, as did the Men’s collections designed by Pharrell Williams. The Maison continued to offer its customers a range of unique in-store experiences, exemplified by LV The Place Seoul and immersive new travel-inspired locations around the world. Christian Dior benefited from the major success of Jonathan Anderson’s designs. Demand was especially strong for its ready-to-wear and leather goods lines. After Osaka in May, a new House of Dior flagship store was opened in September, on Via Monte Napoleone in Milan. Loro Piana, which achieved an excellent performance, presented Solutions For, its latest ready-to-wear collection of functional, creative pieces, and opened a new center for knitwear excellence in Ghemme, Italy. At Celine, collections designed by Michael Rider were a major success, as was Fendi’s new Baguette bag, revisited by Maria Grazia Chiuri. Loewe, with Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, and Givenchy, with Sarah Burton, continued the creative renewal of their collections. Rimowa and Berluti confirmed their good momentum. On September 1, Marc Jacobs was sold to WHP Global.

The Perfumes & Cosmetics business group, for which revenue remained stable on an organic basis in the first nine months of 2026, maintained its highly selective retail approach. LVMH’s historic brands performed well. Parfums Christian Dior benefited from the launches of J’adore Intense, Sauvage Extrait and eau de parfum versions of Dior Addict. In high perfumery, new signature scents were unveiled within La Collection Privée. Good momentum in makeup – driven by Forever and Backstage in particular – also contributed to the Maison’s performance. Guerlain saw substantial growth, driven by the launch of its L’Heure Bleue scent, the success of its L’Art & La Matière and Aqua Allegoria fragrance collections, as well as accelerating growth in its iconic Rouge G lipstick. Parfums Givenchy focused on the development of L’Interdit. Maison Francis Kurkdjian expanded its Oud collection and Acqua di Parma celebrated its 110th anniversary.

The Watches & Jewelry business group recorded organic revenue growth of 8% in the first nine months of 2026, driven by the very good performance in jewelry. Tiffany & Co. continued to successfully strengthen its iconic product lines – HardWear, Knot and Sixteen Stone in particular – and to renovate its store network. Following its launch in New York, the Blue Book 2026: Hidden Garden high jewelry collection presented its fall expression in Venice, illustrating the Maison’s powerful creativity. Bvlgari unveiled its new Eclettica line of high jewelry and prestige watches, which generated record-breaking revenue. Its Kaleidos exhibition stopped over in Shanghai, while a monumental installation unveiled in New York celebrated its iconic Serpenti design. Chaumet continued to develop its Bee de Chaumet collection. In watches, TAG Heuer enjoyed a high-profile presence at the Grand Prix races of Formula 1, in particular as Title Partner in Madrid.

In Selective Retailing, organic revenue growth came to 6% in the first nine months of 2026. Sephora saw strong growth in its revenue, with further market share gains in several countries, consolidating its global leadership position. Its performance was driven by its solid brand portfolio, with sustained growth in its many historic brands and the ongoing ramp-up of exclusive launches, including Rhode and several C-Beauty brands. The retail network continued to expand, including new market entries in Belgium and Croatia. Le Bon Marché posted revenue growth, driven by its ever-unique slate of events. Most of DFS’ businesses were sold.

OUTLOOK

Despite an economic and geopolitical environment that remains uncertain, the Group remains confident and will maintain a strategy focused on continuously enhancing the desirability of its brands, drawing on the authenticity and quality of its products, its excellence in retail and its agile organization. LVMH will draw on its powerful brands and the talent of its teams to reinforce its global leadership position in luxury goods once again in 2026.

Apart from the information mentioned in this press release, during the quarter and to date, no events or changes have occurred that could significantly modify the Group’s financial structure.
