Charenton-le-Pont, France (July25, 2023 -6:00 pm) – The Board of Directors of EssilorLuxottica met on July 25, 2023 to approve the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Statutory Auditors have performed a limited review of these financial statements. Their report is in the process of being issued.

Francesco Milleri, Chairman and CEO, and Paul du Saillant, Deputy CEO at EssilorLuxottica commented: “At the halfway point of 2023, we are proud of our performance, including strong top line growth and our ability to keep the pace on margins, both on track with our long-term outlook. Our innovation pipeline continues to run deep – in the past six months, we introduced Varilux XR lenses powered by AI, launched a design disruption with Ray-Ban Reverse and rolled out Stellest in additional markets. We have also delivered novelties at the heart of our house and licensed brands. The back half of the year will be very dynamic, as we further expand our Ray-Ban Stories in partnership with Meta with more functionalities and we prepare to step into the hearing solutions market with a groundbreaking technology. At the same time, we are on track to be carbon neutral in Europe in 2023. Our investment in talent and know-how continues to fuel all of our projects as we advance on embracing our common culture. Today, our skilled teams are operating in lock step to achieve our goals and giving us a solid foundation to continue building EssilorLuxottica successfully.”
