SHANGHAI, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lanvin Group (NYSE:LANV, the ", Group", )), a global luxury fashion group with Lanvin, Wolford, Sergio Rossi and St. John in its portfolio of brands, today announced its preliminary, unaudited revenues for the full-year 2025. Despite a challenging global luxury market in 2025, Lanvin Group continued advancing its strategic transformation and portfolio optimization initiatives while strengthening the foundations of its core brands. Excluding the divested Caruso business, revenues from continuing operations totaled €240.5 million, representing an 17.6% decrease year-over-year, reflecting both ongoing market volatility and the impact of its strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and long-term brand positioning.

Review of the Full-Year 2025 Preliminary, Unaudited Revenues

The Group navigated a challenging market environment in FY2025: Amid continued volatility in the global luxury market in 2025, Lanvin Group advanced a series of strategic initiatives aimed at strengthening its long-term positioning and improving operational efficiency. Excluding the Caruso business⁽¹⁾, the Group reported preliminary revenues of €240.5 million, representing an 17.6% decrease year-over-year. While the overall performance reflected ongoing industry headwinds and softer consumer demand in certain markets, the Group made meaningful progress in executing its transformation initiatives, including cost discipline measures, retail network optimization, and organizational adjustments across its brand portfolio. Revenue trends improved sequentially in the second half of the year, reflecting early benefits from these actions.

Brand portfolio evolution amid operational adjustments: Across the Group's maisons, 2025 was characterized by continued operational refinement and brand development initiatives. Lanvin advanced its creative renewal following the debut collection of Artistic Director Peter Copping, which received strong industry recognition and supported encouraging order momentum in womenswear. Wolford's operational performance stabilized during the year as production and logistics conditions improved, with notable progress in wholesale and e-commerce channels. St. John demonstrated strong resilience in the North American market, supported by its established customer base and product offering. Sergio Rossi continued its transition toward an asset-light operational model during the year, including steps to enhance supply chain flexibility through adjustments to its manufacturing structure. At the Group level, the completion of the Caruso divestment represents an important step in the ongoing portfolio review process, enabling greater focus on the Group's core luxury brands.

Regional dynamics reflected shifting market conditions: Regional performance in 2025 continued to reflect varying consumer sentiment across global luxury markets. North America remained comparatively stable, supported by consistent demand and established brand recognition. In contrast, EMEA and Greater China experienced softer conditions during the year, reflecting cautious wholesale purchasing patterns and evolving consumer spending trends in the luxury sector. In response, the Group continued to refine its commercial strategies across regions while prioritizing operational efficiency and brand development initiatives tailored to local market dynamics.

2026 Outlook

Looking ahead, Lanvin Group remains focused on executing its ongoing transformation initiatives while continuing to strengthen the foundations of its key brand portfolio. In 2026, the Group expects to largely complete its current transformation program.

The Group's brands will continue to deepen their presence and leadership in their respective home markets, leveraging local insights and consumer connections to drive sustainable growth. In parallel, Lanvin Group will selectively explore opportunities to expand asset-light business initiatives and strategic partnerships that support brand development and enhance long-term growth. Combined with continued creative renewal across its brands and a streamlined operating structure, these efforts aim to reinforce the Group's positioning within the evolving global luxury landscape.
