    up 26.8% as reported and 33.9% on a comparable basis

     

    Record-high recurring operating income: €1,772 million, up 53.1%

     

    Recurring operating margin up 470 basis points to 27.5%

    Kering achieved dazzling top-line and earnings performances in the quarter and six months. Our growth, grounded in the exclusivity and desirability of our brands, is remarkably healthy. The development model we implement across our Houses paves the way for increased value creation as well as profitable, sustained and consistent organic growth. While facing increasingly demanding comps and an uncertain global environment, we will once again substantially enhance our financial and operating performances in 2018.
