L'Oréal Q2 Organic Sales Rise 2.4%, Bolstered by Professional Products, Emerging Markets and China
NEW YORK – L'Oréal reported second-quarter 2025 sales declined 1.3 percent in reported terms but rose 2.4 percent on a like-for-like basis, bolstered by its Professional Products division, emerging markets and China. Adjusted for phasing linked to its 2024 and 2025 IT transformation, the world's largest beauty company's like-for-like sales growth was 3.7 percent in the three months ended June 30, versus 2.6 percent in the first quarter of this year. More from WWD Comme des Garçons and Max Richter Celebrate New Fragrance Boots to Open Stand-alone Fragrance Store Interparfums SA Stock Hit After Full-year Estimate Adjustment Sales for the maker of Lancôme, Garnier and La Roche-Posay products reached 10.74 billion euros in the second quarter. For the first half, L'Oréal's sales came in at 22.47 billion euros, up 1.6 percent on a reported basis and 3 percent in like-for-like terms. Currency fluctuations negatively impacted sales by 1.9 percent. 'As anticipated, L'Oréal's like-for-like growth accelerated between first and second quarter. The ongoing strength in emerging markets, the slight rebound in mainland China and the gradual recovery in North America more than offset the expected slowdown in Europe, once again validating our multi-polar model,' Nicolas Hieronimus, L'Oréal chief executive officer, said in a statement released after the market close Tuesday. He noted that acceleration was backed by a gradual improvement in the beauty market's growth worldwide, which L'Oréal expects will continue over the upcoming two quarters, as well as by the early success of the group's beauty stimulus plan, which is driven by key product launches. In the half, net profit excluding non-recurring items equaled 3.78 billion euros, up 1 percent. 'Our operating margin increased by 30 basis points in the first half, particularly thanks to rigorous management of our operating expenses,' said Hieronimus. 'Our numerous initiatives in the second half will benefit from strong brand support, notably our major upcoming launches including our new Prada for men and first Miu Miu fragrances.' By division and on a like-for-like basis, L'Oréal's Professional Products division's sales increased 6.5 percent to 2.55 billion euros; the Dermatological Beauty division's sales gained 3.1 percent to 3.86 billion euros; the Consumer Products division's sales grew 2.8 percent to 8.41 billion euros, and the Luxe division's sales advanced 2 percent to 7.66 billion euros. In geographic and like-for-like terms, the South Asia-Pacific, Middle East, North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, or SAPMENA-SSA, zone and Latin America were the group's fastest-growing regions, registering sales increases of 10.4 percent and 10.3 percent to 2.06 billion euros and 1.66 billion euros, respectively. European sales equaled 7.53 billion euros, up 3.4 percent, while those from North America were 5.82 billion euros, a 2 percent rise. In the half, sales in North Asia declined 1.1 percent to 5.39 billion euros. On an adjusted basis, mainland China's business returned to growth, according to L'Oréal. Fragrance and hair care were the company's fastest-growing product categories in the half. The company remains optimistic about the beauty business overall. 'I am confident that we will continue to outperform the global beauty market — which we expect to grow, even amidst the current economic and geopolitical tensions — and to achieve another year of growth in sales and an increase in our profitability,' said Hieronimus, who will discuss results further with financial analysts and journalists during a call scheduled for Wednesday.

L'Oréal reorganises its management in India to support growth
L'Oréal India, the subsidiary owned by global cosmetics giant L'Oréal, has reshaped its Indian governance. The change underlines the company's ambitions to expand in one of the world's most dynamic beauty markets. As of October 1, Jacques Lebel will take up the position of country manager for the Indian subsidiary, succeeding Aseem Kaushik, who will assume the role of president. This change in management comes at a time when the French cosmetics giant is aiming to more than double its business in India over the next few years. This ambition is underpinned by the rapid growth of the country's beauty market, fuelled by the emergence of an expanding middle class and increased demand for cosmetics and skincare products. Jacques Lebel was previously general manager of L'Oréal's Consumer Division in Mexico. Prior to joining L'Oréal, he held marketing and general management positions at Procter & Gamble and AB InBev. Aseem Kaushik, meanwhile, will take on the role of president of L'Oréal India, with a mandate focused on corporate reputation, public affairs, institutional relations, and CSR initiatives. Present in India since 1994, L'Oréal today boasts a varied portfolio, ranging from consumer brands such as L'Oréal Paris, Maybelline New York, and Garnier, to luxury brands such as Lancôme, Kiehl's, and Yves Saint Laurent Beauté. L'Oréal produces 95% of what it sells in India locally, at a rate of around 500 million units a year. A significant proportion of this production is exported, notably to the Gulf States. In an exchange with the press, L'Oréal CEO Nicolas Hieronimus reaffirmed the strategic importance of India for the group. "We intend to expand our factories, increase our production capacities, and strengthen our exports", he declared last June. The company has also stepped up its investments in the local ecosystem, recently acquiring stakes in two emerging Indian brands - Deconstruct (skincare) and Arata (haircare) - via its Bold investment fund dedicated to innovative start-ups in the sector. The Indian beauty market could reach $30 billion (€28.8 billion) by 2027.
