Executive summary
 Welcome to the sixth edition of EY annual financial factbook for the luxury and cosmetics
 industries. The report combines publicly available data with input from leaders who work
 with the world’s leading companies in the sector. It looks at current trends, the evolution
 of operating aggregates and key financial parameters.
 In 2015, the luxury goods industry experienced 13% growth at current exchange rates,
 reaching €253b; however, currency fluctuations were the main contributor of this growth,
 with “real” growth reported to be 1%, lower than in 2014. The global cosmetics industry
 experienced a higher rate of growth (3.9%), reaching a total market value of €203b in
 2015.
 Many factors contribute to the state of the market. Given the significant impact that the
 socioeconomic and political climate can have on a global scale, it would be remiss not

roberto.bonacina@it.ey.com marco.mazzucchelli@it.ey.com to the decline noted across the luxury sector. Recent global political disorder, terrorist
 threats and attacks as well as slowdown in economic growth rate in China are relevant
 factors that can impact any given industry. In short, uncertainty can have an impact on
 the mood of any consumer, none more so than when a significant spend is required, such
 as within the luxury sector.
 On a brighter note, the luxury consumer has never been so sophisticated and is now
 seeking “the complete retail experience,“ ready for a trip to an exotic destination rather
 than limiting his or her purchase to the latest “it‑bag.“
 How should luxury players act to avoid losing their consumers? Would a quick reaction
 suffice, or do brands need to review their entire business model?
 In any case, companies must take time to get to know their consumers better, understand
 their desires in order to better engage them, and secure their attention and spend.

• Defend the luxury experience — During the luxury journey, a consumer is surrounded
 by opportunities that may not always be characterized by material, long‑term
 purchases; instead, they may have intangible or more ephemeral benefits, such as
 travel, art, epicurean gastronomy. In such an environment, personal luxury goods
 companies must demonstrate that they can offer the same level of experience and
 customer satisfaction.

 Executive summary
Index evolution

The analysis reported in the graph below shows that the EY luxury and cosmetics index (represented by the companies included in the EY factbook) has outperformed the
market over the last eight years with a total return of 83%, corresponding to an average yearly significant return of 8%.
This relative performance actually illustrates the appetite of investors for an industry that is characterized by solid financial fundamentals in terms of sales growth, major
profitability, resilient international client base and exposure to growing markets, attributing higher valuations to companies–related securities, despite the economic
instable environment.
Financial markets this year have been characterized by a high level of instability generated by a series of events: geopolitical events, commodities pricing volatility and the
China stock market volatility have all hampered growth.
The EY index is a representation of the luxury and cosmetics companies analyzed within the factbook. A specific weight has been attributed to each company included in
the EY index based on its market capitalization and revenues (each of these two parameters weighing for a half). The relative weights have been revised for each
company’s inclusion after its initial public offering (IPO). Finally, the evolution of the EY index has been compared to those of the S&P 500 and STOXX Europe 600
indexes, using 1 January 2008 as a starting date (rebased to 100).

 overall limited variance.
 •• LTGR presents a larger range (1% to 4.3%) mainly depending on size, maturity stage of the retail network
 and product diversification. The estimated average LTGR is slightly lower overall than last year’s figure,
