Revenue drivers

• Lanvin brand — The flagship French couture house and the group's namesake brand, generating revenue across retail, wholesale and e-commerce channels; it is separately tested for impairment with its own long-term growth rate and WACC assumptions.
• Wolford — Austrian-based legwear, hosiery and knitwear brand whose revenue is tracked and separately tested for impairment with its own long-term growth rate and WACC assumptions.
• St. John and Sergio Rossi — American knitwear brand St. John and Italian footwear brand Sergio Rossi are each tracked and separately tested for impairment; together with Lanvin and Wolford they form the group's tested reporting units.
• Caruso — Italian menswear manufacturing brand classified in the fiscal year 2025 reporting as a discontinued operation held for sale, with a disposal of a major subsidiary dated February 6, 2026.

Recent performance

The FY2025 20-F states revenue is reported across four geographic regions: Greater China, EMEA, North America and Other Asia, but specific revenue figures for these regions are not provided in the source material. The filing separately identifies Lanvin, Wolford, St. John and Sergio Rossi as reporting units subject to impairment testing, with brand-specific long-term growth rate and WACC inputs, indicating each is a distinct cash-generating unit. Caruso was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025, and the filing references a disposal of a major subsidiary dated February 6, 2026. Related-party balances as of December 31, 2025 include Itochu Corporation, Fosun Holdings Limited, Baozun Hong Kong Investment Limited, Shanghai Fosun Industry Investment Company Limited and Shanghai Fosun Bund Property Co. Ltd. No profit, margin or same-store figures are disclosed in the source excerpts.

Strategy

The group presents itself as a portfolio of luxury brands spanning couture, legwear, knitwear and footwear, with reporting organized by brand and by four geographic regions. Its reporting reflects ongoing impairment testing for Lanvin, Wolford, St. John and Sergio Rossi, implying continued capital allocation review across the portfolio. The classification of Caruso as held for sale and the February 2026 disposal of a major subsidiary indicate a move to simplify the brand portfolio. Shareholder and related-party relationships include Itochu, Fosun Holdings, Baozun and Fosun-affiliated entities, and the capital structure includes convertible preference shares issued to Meritz. No forward guidance or quantified investment plans are disclosed in the source excerpts.

Risks

• Impairment risk across brands — Lanvin, Wolford, St. John and Sergio Rossi are each tested for impairment using long-term growth rate and WACC assumptions, so weaker brand performance could trigger write-downs.
• Portfolio simplification execution — Caruso is classified as held for sale and a major subsidiary disposal was dated February 6, 2026, so execution and separation costs are a live risk.
• Related-party and shareholder concentration — Balances with Itochu, Fosun Holdings, Baozun, Fosun-affiliated entities and Meritz convertible preference shares indicate significant reliance on a small set of counterparties.
• Geographic concentration — Revenue is reported across Greater China, EMEA, North America and Other Asia, exposing the group to region-specific demand and currency swings without offsetting disclosure.

Outlook

The filing discloses no forward revenue, margin or earnings guidance. The main stated corporate action visible in the source excerpts is the classification of Caruso as held for sale and a major subsidiary disposal dated February 6, 2026, while Lanvin, Wolford, St. John and Sergio Rossi remain core tested reporting units. Management priorities beyond that are not specified in the source material. No outlook figures or targets are provided.
