Good start to the year for Christian Dior - Seite 3

The Watches & Jewelry business group recorded organic revenue growth of 35% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 and 1% compared to that of 2019. The quarter marked the integration for the first time of the iconic jewelry Maison, Tiffany & Co, which saw an excellent start to the year. Several innovations were unveiled at other brands during the quarter, including the Serpenti Viper collection by Bvlgari, the new Joséphine creations by Chaumet and the Pretty Woman collection by Fred. In watchmaking, TAG Heuer announced a major collaboration with Porsche, including launching the TAG Heuer Carrera Porsche Chronograph.

In Selective Retailing, organic revenue declined 5% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 and 30% compared to that of 2019. Sephora performed well in a commercial environment that is still impacted by store closures in several countries across Europe. Online sales progressed well throughout the world. DFS continued to experience a significant decline in activity in most destinations due to the lack of international travel.

In a context that remains turbulent, the Christian Dior group is well-equipped to build upon the hoped-for recovery in 2021 and regain growth momentum for all its businesses. The Group will continue to pursue its strategy focused on the development of its brands, driven by strong innovation and investment as well as by a constant quest for quality in their products and their distribution. The Group relies on the talent and motivation of its teams, the diversification of its businesses and the geographical balance of its revenue to further strengthen its global leadership position in luxury goods in 2021.
