Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of LVMH
Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of LVMH, said: “Our performance in 2022 illustrates the exceptional appeal of our Maisons and their ability to create desire during a year affected by economic and geopolitical challenges. The Group once again recorded significant growth in revenue and earnings. Our growth strategy, based on the complementary nature of our activities, as well as their geographic diversity, encourages innovation and the quality of our creations, the excellence of their distribution, and adds a cultural and historical dimension thanks to the heritage of our Maisons. This was showcased during our hugely successful LVMH Journées Particulières, when we opened our doors to all in fifteen countries in 2022 and saw a record number of visitors come to learn about the know-how of our artisans. We approach 2023 with confidence but remain vigilant due to current uncertainties. We count on the desirability of our Maisons and the agility of our teams to further strengthen our lead in the global luxury market and support France’s prestige throughout the world.”

Extract from the press release published on January 26, 2023
With the month of January having started well and despite an uncertain geopolitical and economic environment, LVMH is confident in its ability to continue the growth observed in 2022. The Group will pursue its brand development focused strategy, underpinned by continued innovation and investment as well as a constant quest for desirability and quality in its products and their distribution.
Driven by the agility of its teams, their entrepreneurial spirit and its well diversified presence across businesses and geographic areas in which its customers are located, LVMH enters 2023 with confidence and once again, sets an objective of reinforcing its global leadership position in luxury goods.
At the General Meeting of April 20, 2023, LVMH will propose a dividend of 12 euros per share. An interim dividend of 5 euros per share was paid on December 5 of last year. The balance of 7 euros will be paid on April 27, 2023.
After the first week of January, when the CAC 40 reached an all time record high, stock markets had a particularly volatile year, marked by the war in Ukraine and its repercussions on the global economy, which led to both shortages and surging inflation fueled by the energy crisis.
Faced with these headwinds, central banks took decisive action, launching an unprecedented series of interest rate hikes after nearly ten years of falling rates. In this more challenging environment, which was also weighed down by extended lockdowns in China as well as political and economic uncertainty in the United Kingdom, stock markets nevertheless saw a slight upturn in the second half of the year.
The CAC 40 and Euro Stoxx 50 indices finished 2022 down 9.5% and 11.7%, respectively, dropping less than US growth stocks, with the NASDAQ plunging 33%. The geopolitical and macroeconomic context also weighed on the performance of luxury stocks. The LVMH share saw a rebound in the fall, recouping part of its full-year drop and allowing it to finish off the year down 6.5%, at €679.90. LVMH’s market capitalization was €342 billion as of December 31, 2022, making the Group the most valuable company in Europe.
