Sales by Division and Region

Summary by Division

PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS

The Professional Products Division grew +1.6% like-for-like and +2.7% reported.
Without the impact of last year’s IT-related phasing in North America, growth would have been more than 400 basis points higher.
The Division continued its impressive success story in premium hair care, fuelled by its omnichannel strategy and its focus on reanimating the subdued salon market.
Professional Products continued to outperform a premium haircare market that remained dynamic. Momentum was strong across all major brands, led by Kérastase and L’Oréal Professionnel. It was driven by blockbuster franchises like Genesis by Kérastase, Metal Detox by L’Oréal Professionnel and Acidic Bonding Concentrate by Redken, as well as new product launches: Gloss Absolu by Kérastase, for instance, is off to an excellent start.
In hair colour, where market growth remained slow, the Division continued to drive its innovation agenda with the launch of Matrix SuperSync. AirLight Pro continued to pursue its successful deployment in France and the US.
It outperformed the professional beauty market across all regions with particularly remarkable results in Europe (notably the DACH and Spain/ Portugal clusters), mainland China and emerging markets, where GCC^[3] and Brazil grew in double digits

CONSUMER PRODUCTS 

The Consumer Products Division grew +2.3% like-for-like and +2.5% reported.
Volume, price, and mix all contributed as the Division continued to deliver on its democratisation and premiumisation strategy.
Consumer Products continued to win in haircare, driven by the success of L’Oréal Paris Glycolic Gloss and the launch of Growth Booster; Garnier Fructis accelerated with the launch of Sleek & Stay. Hair colour growth was powered by the rollout of Garnier’s Good and Color Sensation. Skincare benefitted from the launches of Garnier Pimple Patch and L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Laser Tri-peptides serum. In an effort to stimulate a make-up market that remains weak, notably in the US, the Division launched a particularly robust innovation plan that included L’Oréal Paris Big Deal mascara and Plump Ambition gloss, NYX Face Glue and Maybelline Teddy Tint liquid lip as well as Super Fluff brow mousse.
Of the four global brands, L’Oréal Paris, Garnier and NYX Professional Makeup were particularly dynamic; amongst the smaller ones, Mixa continued to grow strongly; Korean make-up brand 3CE by Stylenanda pursued its expansion in Southeast Asia. At the end of March, L’Oréal completed the acquisition of Korean dermo mass skincare brand Dr.G.
Emerging markets were, once again, major growth engines with particularly strong performances in Brazil, India, and Thailand. Momentum was solid in Europe and the Division performed slightly below a broadly stable market in China. Growth slowed in North America, largely due to the continued softness in makeup.

LUXE

L'Oréal Luxe grew +5.8% like-for-like, +7.3% reported.
This included a positive phasing impact of around 300 basis points ahead of the implementation of new IT systems in mainland China.
By region, momentum was particularly strong in Europe and emerging markets and solid in North America where the Division further strengthened its leadership. North Asia regained momentum; in mainland China, where the market was only slightly negative, the Division continued to outperform.
All categories contributed to growth, reflecting the strength of L’Oréal Luxe’s portfolio of complementary brands. 
In fragrances, the Division grew in double digits, outperforming the market with spectacular performances in both, the feminine and masculine segments – including Libre and MYSLF by Yves Saint Laurent, Born in Roma by Valentino, Paradoxe by Prada, Idôle by Lancôme, Emporio by Armani, and Wanted by Azzaro. 
Makeup momentum remained solid, driven by double-digit growth of the Couture brands, including Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, and Prada.  New launches like Make Me Blush and The Inks by Yves Saint Laurent were off to a strong start. 
In skincare, one of the highlights was the groundbreaking launch of Lancôme Absolue Longevity Cream, the brand’s first topical PDRN that helps sustain cellular energy.

DERMATOLOGICAL BEAUTY

The Dermatological Beauty Division grew +2.7% like-for-like and +3.5% reported.
The Division continued to outperform the global dermo-cosmetics market in sell-out. As expected, sell-in was impacted by a particularly difficult comparison base, following last year’s sun care phasing.
La Roche-Posay remained the number one growth contributor. It was driven by the success of key pillars like Cicaplast and more recent franchises like Mela B3. The latter’s core molecule, Melasyl, now boosts recently launched Anthelios UVmune 400 Anti-Hyperpigmentation.
Among the aesthetics-related brands, SkinCeuticals’ growth continued to accelerate thanks to the expansion of P-Tiox, which is currently being launched in China. 
CeraVe pursued its expansion into new territories – whether its ongoing conquest in emerging markets or its successful entry into the anti-dandruff market. In the US, where it remains market leader, it faced a high comparison base and competitive pressure. 
While North America remained challenging, sales advanced in double digits in North Asia and SAPMENA. Despite a particularly high comparison base, the Division grew in most countries in Europe.

Summary by Region

EUROPE

Sales in Europe grew +4.3% like-for-like and +4.9% reported.
Europe delivered solid growth, despite a high comparison base, outperforming a market that continued to slow as anticipated.
Growth was driven by the Spain/ Portugal and UK/ Ireland clusters, Italy as well as most countries in Central Europe.
L’Oréal strengthened its leadership in the fragrance, makeup, and haircare categories, and continued to gain share in e-commerce, the most dynamic channel.
In Consumer Products, the initial results of the relaunch of Elsève, the leading haircare brand in Europe, are extremely promising, as is the start of the Garnier Pimple Patch. Mixa pursued its successful rollout.
L’Oréal Luxe significantly outperformed its market, driven by men's fragrances and successful makeup launches, including Yves Saint Laurent’s Make Me Blush and Lancôme’s Lash Idôle Flutter mascara.
Dermatological Beauty faced a particularly high comparison base. La Roche-Posay was, once again, the key growth contributor. The recently launched Vichy Collagen 16 is off to a very encouraging start.
Growth in Professional Products accelerated, contributing to the rapid rise of premium haircare in Europe. Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate confirmed its success; the launch of Kérastase Gloss Absolu started very well.

NORTH AMERICA

Sales in North America contracted -3.8% like-for-like and -1.4% reported.
Adjusted for last year’s IT-related phasing, like-for-like growth amounted to +0.5%. In a softening market, growth was driven by channel expansion, valorisation, and innovation.
L'Oréal Luxe outpaced the market; this was fuelled by ongoing strength in fragrances, where the Division further bolstered its number one position in the US, with key contributors including Valentino's Born in Roma as well as Libre and MYSLF by Yves Saint Laurent. In makeup, the Couture brands maintained strong momentum, led by Yves Saint Laurent.
In Consumer Products, haircare remained the most dynamic category with both L'Oréal Paris and Garnier growing ahead of the market. In a challenging context for makeup, the Division outpaced the market, fuelled by its strong innovation lineup, notably in the lip segment.
Dermatological Beauty faced not only a slowing market, but also a particularly high comparison base. In that context, the best performers were La Roche-Posay and SkinCeuticals. CeraVe’s entrance into haircare is off to a promising start and marks a new growth opportunity for the brand.
Professional Products outperformed the market, fuelled by the ongoing dynamism of the premium haircare category. Kérastase advanced in double digits thanks to its successful omni-channel strategy, the ongoing success of its core pillars, Nutritive and Genesis, and a well-filled innovation pipeline.

NORTH ASIA

Sales in North Asia grew +6.9% like-for-like and +8.4% reported.
This included an 850 basis point positive phasing impact ahead of the implementation of new IT systems in mainland China.
In mainland China, the beauty market is slowly recovering, being almost flat in the first quarter. L’Oréal continued to outperform the market in Luxe, Dermatological Beauty and Professional Products; the Consumer Products Division grew slightly slower than the mass market. The Group outperformed in both, the offline and online channels.
Sales increased in Japan, fuelled by tourist activity, as well as in Korea. Conditions remained challenging in Travel Retail, where sales continued to decline.
In North Asia, growth was led by Dermatological Beauty, where all brands advanced strongly, as well as Professional Products, where Kérastase maintained its impressive rhythm; sales in both Divisions were up in double digits. Performance in Luxe was driven by the Couture brands – notably Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, and Maison Margiela – as well as Aesop.

SAPMENA-SSA²

Sales in SAPMENA-SSA grew +10.4% like-for-like and +12.2% reported.
In SAPMENA, growth was broad-based with all categories and Divisions contributing; it was strongly driven by volume, in line with regional strategy of new consumer acquisition, complemented by mix improvement.
By Division, Luxe delivered strong growth, powered by Yves Saint Laurent and Armani, while Dermatological Beauty was boosted by La Roche-Posay.
By category, fragrances, haircare and makeup advanced in double digits. Fragrances expanded in all markets, fuelled by the Couture brands; momentum in haircare was balanced across both the mass and professional channels; the acceleration in makeup was supported by new launches. 
By country, key contributors were the Australia-New Zealand and GCC³ clusters, Thailand, India, and Vietnam.
Online continued to be a key growth driver across the region, notably in Southeast Asia, India and Saudi Arabia.
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) delivered another quarter of dynamic and broad-based growth, driven by both, volume and value. By category, momentum was particularly dynamic in skincare and haircare. All Divisions grew in double digits, led by Professional Products and Consumer Products.

LATIN AMERICA

Sales in Latin America advanced +7.9% like-for-like and +0.4% reported.
Momentum was driven by a well-balanced contribution from value and volume.
By country, Brazil and Mexico were the two leading growth contributors: Brazil advanced in double digits while Mexico was somewhat hampered by last year’s high comparison base and the uncertainties related to US tariffs.
By Division, Professional Products and Luxe delivered exceptional results, driven by a very strong innovation pipeline; Consumer Products continued to deliver solid growth with Brazil and Chile particularly dynamic; all of the key brands contributed to this performance.
The most dynamic categories were makeup with double-digit growth in both Consumer Products and Luxe, fragrances as well as haircare, with double-digit growth in both Professional and Consumer Products.
While sales grew offline and online, the latter was particularly strong, primarily driven by pure players.
