Commenting on the figures, Nicolas Hieronimus, CEO of L'Oréal, said:
“L’Oréal is off to a great start with adjusted like-for-like growth1 of +6.7%. We not only outperformed a beauty market that remains dynamic but accelerated our market share gains around the world.
Driven by the step-up in our innovation plan, we continue to win in fragrances, haircare and makeup and start seeing some encouraging signs in skincare.
And our e-commerce leadership allows us to double down on the winning channel with spectacular results across all regions, especially emerging markets. The second half 2025 recovery in our two largest countries, the US and China, continued and we outpaced the market in both. Despite current geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties, we are optimistic about the outlook for the global beauty market. Our multi-polar model, the determination of our teams, as well as our innovation power make me confident that we will continue to outperform and achieve another year of growth in sales and profit.”
