L'Occitane profit slumps 30pc

by Samantha Wong

Beauty products retailer L'Occitane (0973) reported a30 percent decline in annual net profit, due mainly to foreign currency losses, and the consequences of tax reforms in the United States.

The French chain, which sells mainly facial care products and fragrances, said net profit fell from 132 million euros (HK$1.22 billion) to 93.3 million euros for the year ended March 31 compared with the previous year.

The losses were due largely to inter-company trade and current accounts settlements, notably in Chinese yuan, Hong Kong dollar, Russian ruble and Korean won, but partly offset by gains from the Japanese yen, Swiss franc and Australian dollar, the company said in a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange.

Basic earning per share was 0.066 cents, down from 0.090 cents.

Net sales grew 4.6 percent to 1.32 billion euros, while gross profit margin stood at 83.3 percent.

The board has recommended an increase in dividend payout ratio to 45 percent from 35 percent last year, with a proposed final dividend of 0.0297 euros per share.

Hong Kong sales grew 8.3 percent, contributing 17 percent to overall growth, said Thomas Levilion, deputy general manager of finance and administration at L'Occitane International.

Over the year, L'Occitane did not add to its 34 stores in Hong Kong but opened 41 new outlets across the world, taking the total number to 1,555 stores.

It closed five in China, bringing the number of stores down to 197 in the mainland.

Share of L'Occitane fell 0.6 percent to HK$13.54 at the close yesterday.

L’Occitane half-year net sales climb

L’Occitane (0973) posted its net sales in the six months ended September 30 were 727.2 million euro (HK$6.35 billion), an improvement of 19 percent at constant rates and 22.1 percent at reported rates compared to the same period last year.

For the three months ended September 30, its second quarter of the financial year 2020, net sales were 374.7 million euros, an improvement of 21.7 percent at constant rates and 25.5 percent at reported rates compared to the same period last year.

The Group’s encouraging top-line performance was due to decent growth in the second quarter across all of its brands and in all key geographic areas.

In terms of geographic areas, the UK was the Group’s fastest-growing market with more than 200 percent growth in the first half, which was mainly contributed by ELEMIS. Excluding ELEMIS, growth in the UK was 10.8 percent at constant rates.

The US grew 26 percent for the six months, also mainly contributed by ELEMIS. Excluding ELEMIS, growth in the US was negative 5.1 percent, which resulted from the closure of 12 L’OCCITANE en Provence stores and the high base impact of LimeLife.

China, Brazil and Russia all posted double-digit growth in FY2020 H1. Meanwhile, retail sales in Hong Kong continued to decline as economic and social factors dampened consumer sentiment, although this impact was more than offset by higher travel retail sales in the region.
