L’Oreal Groupe Reports 2024 Annual Results

With like-for-like growth in all markets except North Asia, the Groupe reported 5.6% overall growth.

Nicolas Hieronimus, CEO of L’Oréal, said,
 
“We delivered solid, broad-based growth of +5.1%, once again outperforming the global beauty market. Excluding North Asia, where the Chinese ecosystem remained challenging, sales advanced in high single digits. I am particularly proud of the quality of the P&L management as the Group achieved record gross and operating margins. At 20%, the latter increased 20 basis points. On a comparable basis, excluding Aesop, our operating margin grew 40 basis points, and that after a 10 basis points increase in our brand fuel.”
