The company reiterated its guidance to grow revenues at constant exchange rates over the medium term.
Hermès reported revenues of €11.21bn for the three months to 30 September, up 11.4% on the third quarter of 2023, or 13.8% higher at constant exchange rates, with double-digit growth recorded in every region except Asia-Pacific when excluding Japan.
Asia, which accounts for over half of group sales, saw revenues climbed 6% to €6.16bn, with Japanese sales surging 22.6% to €1.05bn. Meanwhile, solid growth in South Korea, Singapore, Australia and Thailand more than offset a downturn in traffic in Greater China since the end of the Chinese New Year, along with tough comparatives with last year.
Sales in Europe jumped 15.9% to €2.60bn, grew 11.7% in the Americas to €2.0bn and more than doubled in the Middle East to €456m (+104.4%).
“In a more uncertain economic and geopolitical context, I want to thank all employees for the robust third-quarter performance, and our customers for their loyalty. Thanks to the singularity of its model, Hermès is continuing its recruitments and long-term investments," said executive chair Axel Dumas.
The stock was up 1.8% at €2,097 by 1248 in Paris.
