We met targets with another year<br />
of double-digit growth (+11%)<br />
to achieve sales of €216.2 million.<br />
All our major brands contributed to<br />
this performance. As a result,<br />
operating income totaled<br />
€29.2 million and net income<br />
€18.7 million accompanied by<br />
a net margin of 8.6%.<br />
Burberry fragrances pursued their<br />
expansion with the launch of a fifth<br />
major line, Burberry London. Sales<br />
rose in consequence 10% over<br />
2005 to €144.8 million (+20%<br />
excluding the discontinued Burberry<br />
Brit Red line).<br />
Lanvin fragrances, the portfolio’s<br />
second top-selling brand, exceeded<br />
targets with sales of €35 million<br />
(+19%) fueled by strong gains of<br />
the Eclat d’Arpège line and a<br />
successful launch of the Rumeur line.<br />
Paul Smith also surpassed<br />
expectations with sales of<br />
€17.7 million (+22%) boosted by<br />
renewed growth of the Paul Smith<br />

Smith Story line.<br />

pursued its development in France<br />

significant number of new lines, we<br />
continued to focus on developing<br />
additional growth drivers. This year
