Upward
After three exceptional years, without
looking back, we must now think even bigger
and with greater focus on the long term.
In 2023, the LVMH Group extended its lead,
protected its margins, increased its
investments to prepare for the future and
helped its Maisons grow around the world.
Our flagship Maisons have established their positions at the pinnacle of the finest
craftsmanship, their names synonymous with the ultimate in prestige and inter-
national renown. They exert irresistible appeal, turn heads and inspire dreams;
they are where creativity reaches its zenith, where the magnetic force of desir-
ability is strongest. We devote all our energy to making these beacons shine ever
more brightly across every continent.
Throughout the challenging period our world has experienced these past few
years, the desirability of the products that our Maisons design and craft has
continued ever upward among our customers, who have driven growth across
the LVMH Group at unprecedented rates. It is because each of our 75 Maisons’
products inspired joy and encapsulated beauty at a time when joy and beauty really
mattered, that our Maisons were able to achieve this growth.
Investing while reinforcing our margins
Our Group’s record results in fiscal year 2023 reflect both the strength of our
creative model and our investment capacity, built up to fuel our Maisons’ vitality
over both the short and the long term. With investments in production capacity
and product quality; investments to raise awareness of our Maisons and reinforce
their prestige; investments to boost our portfolio of standout properties and
locations that underpin our brands’ commercial appeal – rarely has LVMH invested
so much in reinforcing its strengths as it did in 2023. We stand by our convictions:
we firmly believe in the long-term benefits that our business model brings to our
Group and our environment.
“The truer the LVMH Group remains
to its guiding principles, the more
responsive it can be to both the cyclical
and transitory shocks that may buffet
one or other of its business groups, or
the economic regions where its activities
are located.”
