The Christian Dior group recorded revenue of €80.8 billion in 2025. The Group showed good resilience and maintained its innovative momentum despite a disrupted geopolitical and economic environment. Europe saw a decline in the second half of the year and the United States saw growth, benefiting from solid local demand. Japan was down with respect to 2024, which had been boosted by growth in tourist spending due to the much weaker yen. The rest of Asia saw a noticeable improvement in trends with respect to 2024, with a return to growth in the second half of the year.
In the fourth quarter, organic revenue growth came to 1%, in line with the third quarter.
Profit from recurring operations for 2025 came to €17.7 billion, equating to an operating margin of 22%, affected by currency fluctuations. The Group net profit amounted to €11.2 billion and the Group share of net profit amounted to 4.5 billion. Operating free cash flow came to €11.3 billion, up 8%.

* On a constant consolidation scope and currency basis. For the Group, the impact of changes in scope compared with 2024 was negligible and the exchange rate impact was -3%.
Profit from recurring operations by business group changed as follows:
Wines & Spirits: Good resilience in champagne; weaker demand for cognac
Revenue for Wines & Spirits was down 5% (organic) in 2025. Profit from recurring operations was down 25%. 2025 confirmed the slowdown in demand observed since 2023, following several exceptional years. The impact on customers of trade tensions also weighed on the key markets of China and the United States. The Group’s champagne houses maintained their market share of 22% of all Champagne-appellation shipments, and Provence rosé wines continued to outperform the rosé category worldwide. Revenue for Hennessy cognac was held back by weaker local demand, mainly due to issues with customs duties in China and the United States. The Wines & Spirits Maisons continued to invest in the long-term desirability of their brands and launched a program aimed at boosting efficiency and reducing costs.
Fashion & Leather Goods: Good resilience with local customers
The Fashion & Leather Goods business group saw revenue decline in 2025, with an improvement in the second half of the year, reflecting good resilience with local customers, whereas 2024 had been boosted by strong growth in tourist spending, particularly in Japan. Profit from recurring operations was down 13%, mainly affected by unfavorable currency fluctuations. The operating margin remained very high, at 35%. Louis Vuitton continued to demonstrate its exceptionally powerful creativity through its iconic products and unique in-store experiences. This was reflected in the latest fashion shows by Nicolas Ghesquière and Pharrell Williams, as well as the exceptional architecture of The Louis, a museum-like space in the form of a cruise ship in Shanghai, reimagining the Maison’s spirit of travel and drawing a very high number of visitors. Other highlights of the year included the launch of La Beauté Louis Vuitton, a new creative universe led by Dame Pat McGrath, and the Maison’s first season as an Official Partner of Formula 1®, with 24 Trophy Trunks crafted – one for each Grand Prix race – showcasing the expert skills of Louis Vuitton’s trunk-makers and leatherworkers. Christian Dior Couture welcomed Jonathan Anderson as Creative Director of its Haute Couture, Men’s and Women’s collections, embarking on a defining new chapter in the Maison’s history. His first shows attracted a record audience and garnered highly enthusiastic reviews. Embodying French elegance, three House of Dior locations were inaugurated in New York, in the heart of Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, and in Beijing. Jewelry, designed by Victoire de Castellane, was buoyed by the new Diorexquis collection and innovations in the Rose des Vents line, which celebrated its 10th anniversary. Loro Piana turned in a remarkable performance, once again driven by its highest-quality products. The Maison celebrated its 100th anniversary with its first-ever exhibition at the Museum of Art Pudong in Shanghai. The first fashion shows by new creative directors Michael Rider at Celine, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez at Loewe, and Sarah Burton at Givenchy received an excellent response. Fendi welcomed Maria Grazia Chiuri as its Chief Creative Officer.
Perfumes & Cosmetics: Sustained innovation and ongoing selective retail approach
The Perfumes & Cosmetics business group, for which revenue remained stable on an organic basis in 2025, maintained its robust innovation policy and highly selective retail approach. Profit from recurring operations was up 8%, bringing the operating margin to 8.9%. In fragrances, Parfums Christian Dior benefited from the successful launches of Miss Dior Essence and Dior Homme. Sauvage remained the world’s best-selling men’s fragrance. Innovations in makeup (within Forever and Dior Addict) also contributed to the Maison’s performance. Guerlain was buoyed by the latest additions to its Aqua Allegoria and L’Art & La Matière fragrance lines. Parfums Givenchy successfully unveiled a new floral version of its iconic scent with L’Interdit Parfum. Maison Francis Kurkdjian presented a retrospective exhibition showcasing 30 years of perfume-making at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
Watches & Jewelry: Further innovation in jewelry and watches
The Watches & Jewelry business group recorded organic revenue growth of 3% in 2025. Profit from recurring operations was down 2%. Tiffany continued to successfully renovate its store network and strengthen its iconic product lines, with the HardWear, Knot and Bird on a Rock collections posting particularly strong performances. In high jewelry, the Blue Book Sea of Wonder line delivered an unprecedented performance for the Maison, whose creativity was also recognized at the Grand Prix de la Haute Joaillerie in Monaco, where it won two awards. Its new store concept inspired by The Landmark in New York continued its global rollout. Recently opened flagships in Milan and Tokyo saw a high level of in-store traffic and revenue. Bvlgari had another record year, starting with a celebration of the iconic Serpenti in Shanghai through an immersive art exhibition, which was subsequently shown in Seoul and Mumbai. The new Polychroma high jewelry collection generated record sales of multi-million-dollar pieces. New flagship stores were opened in key markets. Chaumet continued to develop its emblematic Bee de Chaumet jewelry line and unveiled its Jewels by Nature high jewelry collection. In watches, TAG Heuer enjoyed a high-profile presence at the Grand Prix races of Formula 1® as part of the partnership entered into in 2024. A number of innovations from the Group’s Maisons were unveiled at watch shows, including much-remarked limited editions from Hublot and Zenith.
Selective Retailing: Remarkable performance by Sephora; stabilization for DFS
The Selective Retailing business group posted organic revenue growth of 4% in 2025. Profit from recurring operations was up 28%. The operating margin increased by 2 percentage points to 9.7%. Sephora continued to achieve solid growth in both revenue and profit. The Maison saw further market share gains in many countries, consolidating its global leadership position. It continued to enrich its unique selection of brands, with Rhode in particular achieving a record-breaking launch. Sephora continued to invest in its omnichannel strategy and expand its retail network, opening around a hundred stores in 2025. At DFS, initiatives to streamline operations helped achieve a major improvement in profitability, despite business activity still being held back by prevailing international conditions. An agreement was signed in January 2026 with China Tourism Group Duty Free to acquire DFS’ business in Greater China, in particular the Gallerias in Hong Kong and Macao. Le Bon Marché posted growth, driven by the department store’s differentiation strategy focused on its continuously renewed selection of products and unique array of cultural events.
Confidence for 2026
Despite a geopolitical and macroeconomic environment that remains uncertain, the Group remains confident and will pursue its brand development-focused strategy, underpinned by continued innovation and investment as well as an extremely exacting quest for desirability and quality in its products and their distribution.
Driven by the agility of its teams, their entrepreneurial spirit and the well-diversified presence of its various business lines across the geographic areas in which its customers are located, the Christian Dior group once again sets an objective of reinforcing its global leadership position in luxury goods in 2026.
