SHANGHAI, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lanvin Group (NYSE: LANV, the “Group”), a global luxury fashion group with Lanvin, Wolford, Sergio Rossi and St. John in its portfolio, today announced its results for the full-year 2025.

In a challenging global luxury market environment, the Group reported revenue of €240 million for FY2025, representing an 18% decrease year-over-year. Performance reflected both continued macroeconomic headwinds and deliberate transformation initiatives undertaken during the year. The Group remained focused on strengthening its core brand portfolio and enhancing operational efficiency. Performance improved sequentially in the second half, with early benefits from operational adjustments, brand repositioning and retail optimization initiatives.

Zhen Huang, Chairman of Lanvin Group, said: “2025 was a year of disciplined execution and strategic progress. While the macroeconomic environment remained challenging, we continued to advance our transformation initiatives, streamline our operations, and reinforce the long-term positioning of our brands. We are encouraged by the improving momentum in the second half and remain confident in the Group’s ability to deliver sustainable growth over time.”

Review of the Full-Year 2025 Results

* The information for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 have been restated to exclude the Caruso business, to ensure consistency of presentation.

Selected Highlights

Improving momentum across regions and channels: North America remained comparatively resilient, supported by St. John, while EMEA and Greater China experienced softer demand. Direct-to-consumer remained the largest channel at 68% of revenue. Trends at Lanvin and Wolford improved in the second half, reflecting early progress from operational and commercial initiatives.

Operational discipline and portfolio optimization: The Group continued to advance its transformation, focusing on efficiency, organizational simplification and resource allocation to core brands. Selective store closures and tighter cost control supported improved adjusted EBITDA, despite lower revenue. The Caruso carve-out further sharpened the Group’s strategic focus.

Progress across the portfolio: St. John remained stable in North America. Wolford showed meaningful improvement in the second half, supported by stronger product availability and wholesale recovery. Lanvin continued its creative repositioning, while Sergio Rossi advanced its restructuring and asset-light transition.

Strengthened leadership: Key appointments across the portfolio, with Barbara Werschine as Deputy CEO of Lanvin, Marco Pozzo as CEO of Wolford, and Mandy West as CEO of St. John, further enhanced execution capabilities and support ongoing brand development.

Discussion of FY2025 Financials

Revenue

The Group generated revenue of €240 million in FY2025, down 18% year-over-year. The decline reflected macroeconomic headwinds, softer demand in EMEA and Greater China, and the impact of strategic actions including store rationalization and brand repositioning. Lanvin and Wolford’s performance improved in the second half, indicating early signs of stabilization.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased to €140 million, representing a margin of 58%, compared to €172 million and 59% in FY2024. The decline was primarily driven by lower sales volumes, while margin remained resilient due to disciplined pricing and a healthier inventory mix.

Contribution Profit (1)

Contribution profit, defined internally as gross profit less selling and marketing expenses, amounted to negative €31 million in FY2025, compared to negative €34 million in FY2024. The improvement reflects a leaner retail network and continued cost discipline, offsetting lower revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA improved to €-90 million from €-94 million in FY2024, reflecting progress in operational efficiency and cost optimization, despite lower gross profit.

Results by Segment

Lanvin: Revenue declined by 30% to €58 million. The decrease reflects continued brand repositioning and retail network optimization. Gross margin remained resilient at 58%. Contribution loss remained broadly stable, supported by cost discipline. Early signs of improved market reception emerged in the second half under Peter Copping’s creative direction.

Wolford: Revenue declined by 14% to €76 million. Performance in the first half was impacted by prior logistics disruptions, while the second half showed meaningful improvement supported by restored capacity and better product availability. Wholesale grew 19% year-over-year. Gross margin remained stable at 58%, and contribution loss improved, reflecting enhanced efficiency and continued cost discipline. The appointment of Marco Pozzo as CEO further reinforced the brand’s leadership as it moves into its next phase of recovery.

Sergio Rossi: Revenue declined by 30% to €30 million, reflecting continued softness in DTC and wholesale and cautious market sentiment during a period of creative and operational evolution. Gross margin decreased to 32% due to change in channel mix and lower production scale. Contribution loss increased by ~€3 million, partially mitigated by strict cost control. The brand continued its transition toward an asset-light model, focusing on production restructuring, distribution optimization, and enhanced delivery reliability.

St. John: Revenue declined slightly by 1% to €78 million, while growing in reporting currency by 3%. North America remained strong, supported by continued strength in wholesale and e-commerce (+14% and +25% in its reported currency, respectively). Gross margin remained robust at 69%, and contribution profit improved to €10 million, reflecting disciplined execution and continued supply chain efficiencies. The appointment of Mandy West as CEO further strengthens St. John’s leadership as it continues to build on its strong position in North America.

2026 Outlook

The Group expects to continue on the progress made in the second half of 2025, supported by renewed creative momentum, strengthened leadership across the portfolio and a more focused operating model. In 2026, the Group expects to largely complete its current transformation program, marking an important milestone in its strategic evolution. While the market environment remains uncertain, the actions taken over the past year have laid firmer foundations for improved performance and sustainable long-term growth.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Metrics

This communication includes certain non-IFRS financial measures such as contribution profit, contribution margin, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”), and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). These non-IFRS measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. Reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable IFRS counterparts are included in the Appendix to this communication. Lanvin Group believes that these non-IFRS measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to investors about Lanvin Group. Lanvin Group believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Lanvin Group’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-IFRS measures and their nearest IFRS equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore Lanvin Group’s non-IFRS measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Lanvin Group does not consider these non-IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-IFRS financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses, income and tax liabilities that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Lanvin Group’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgements by Lanvin Group about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-IFRS financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, Lanvin Group presents non-IFRS financial measures in connection with IFRS results.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Definition

Our management monitors and evaluates operating and financial performance using several non-IFRS financial measures including: contribution profit, contribution margin, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA. Our management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding our performance and improve their ability to assess financial performance and financial position. They also provide comparable measures that facilitate management’s ability to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which we operate, the financial measures that we use may not be comparable to other similarly named measures used by other companies nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Contribution profit is defined as revenue less the cost of sales and selling and marketing expenses. Contribution profit subtracts the main variable expenses of selling and marketing expenses from gross profit, and our management believes this measure is an important indicator of profitability at the marginal level. Below contribution profit, the main expenses are general administrative expenses and other operating expenses (which include foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment losses). As we continue to improve the management of our portfolio brands, we believe we can achieve greater economy of scale across the different brands by maintaining the fixed expenses at a lower level as a proportion of revenue. We therefore use contribution profit margin as a key indicator of profitability at the group level as well as the portfolio brand level.

Contribution margin is defined as contribution profit divided by revenue.

Adjusted EBIT is defined as profit or loss before income taxes, net finance cost, share based compensation, adjusted for income and costs which are significant in nature and that management considers not reflective of underlying operational activities, mainly including net gains on disposal of long-term assets, gain on debt restructuring and government grants.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit or loss before income taxes, net finance cost, exchange gains/(losses), depreciation, amortization, share based compensation and provisions and impairment losses adjusted for income and costs which are significant in nature and that management considers not reflective of underlying operational activities, mainly including net gains on disposal of long-term assets, negative goodwill from acquisition of Sergio Rossi, gain on debt restructuring and government grants.
