IN THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2016


Paris, 10 October 2016


LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world’s leading luxury products group, recorded a
4% increase in revenue, reaching €26.3 billion, for the first nine months of 2016. Organic
revenue grew 5% compared to the same period in 2015.

With organic revenue growth of 6%, the third quarter saw an acceleration compared to the

quarter. The United States remains well positioned, as does Europe, with the exception of
France which continues to feel the impact of a decline in the number of tourists.

months of 2016. Champagne volumes grew 3% over the period, with a particularly strong
performance in prestige cuvées. Hennessy cognac saw its volumes increase by 9%. The
United States continued to enjoy strong growth and China showed improved momentum
during the period, following the destocking of distributors in 2015. Other spirits,
Glenmorangie and Belvedere continued their development.




1/4
The Fashion & Leather Goods business group recorded organic revenue growth of 2% for
the first nine months of 2016 with an acceleration in the third quarter. Louis Vuitton
maintained strong momentum and ventured into a new territory with the launch of the Louis
Vuitton perfumes. The seven fragrances, created by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier
Belletrud, have made a very promising start. The new Horizon luggage, conceived by Marc
Newson, was also among the major innovations of the last quarter. Fendi generated
significant revenue growth. Loro Piana inaugurated a flagship store in Paris on Avenue
Montaigne. Céline, Loewe and Kenzo experienced good growth. Marc Jacobs continued the
repositioning of its collections. An agreement was announced for the sale of the Donna Karan
business. LVMH announced the acquisition of a majority stake in the German Maison,
Rimowa, global leader in high quality luggage. The transaction, subject to the approval of the
competition authorities, is due to be completed in January 2017.

The Perfumes & Cosmetics business group recorded organic revenue growth of 8% for the
first nine months of 2016, outperforming the market. Parfums Christian Dior continued its
strong performance, gaining market share in all countries. The continued momentum of its
iconic fragrances, the great success of Sauvage and its latest innovations in the makeup
segment were the main drivers of the growth of the brand. Guerlain successfully expanded its
perfume brand, La Petite Robe Noire, into the world of makeup, a segment in which
Givenchy saw strong growth. Supported by a bold marketing campaign, the launch of the new
perfume Kenzo World, was a success. Benefit, Make Up For Ever, Fresh and Kat Von D all
delivered excellent performance.

The Watches & Jewelry business group recorded organic revenue growth of 4% for the first
nine months of 2016. Bvlgari continued to gain market share and showed major creative
momentum by enriching its iconic product lines, notably with the recent launch of Serpenti
Seduttori. TAG Heuer made great progress in a difficult market, benefiting particularly from
the success of its new collections and its smartwatch. Hublot continued the development of its
iconic lines, Classic Fusion and Big Bang. Chaumet furthered its progress, driven by the
success of its Joséphine and Lien collections.

The Selective Retailing business group recorded organic revenue growth of 6% for the first
nine months of 2016. Sephora continued to gain market share in all its markets and recorded
double-digit revenue growth. Online sales rapidly increased in all regions and Sephora
continued its store opening program. DFS navigated a difficult tourist environment in Asia,
particularly in Macao and Hong Kong. After Cambodia in the first half, DFS opened in
September a new T Galleria in Europe, in Venice, thus expanding its presence in major
tourist destinations.

Outlook
In an uncertain geopolitical and currency environment, LVMH will continue its strategy
focused on innovation and targeted geographic expansion in the most promising markets.
LVMH will rely on the power of its brands and the talent of its teams to further extend its
global leadership in the luxury market in 2016.

During the quarter and to-date, no events or changes have occurred which could significantly
modify the Group’s financial structure.
