Company Description Fielmann AG is a manufacturer, distributor and retailer of visual aids and other optical products, as well as hearing aids and accessories with more than 25 million people wearing Fielmann glasses. The listed family business was founded in 1972 and is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. As of September 2020, Fielmann operated 783 stores in 14 European countries and employed about 21,000 workers. As a designer, manufacturer, and wholesaler, Fielmann covers the entire value chain of the eyewear industry. While the family business solely started with the sale of glasses, additional revenue is generated nowadays by the sale of contact lenses and hearing-aids. However, glasses constitute the largest revenue stream in 2019 (83% of consolidated net sales) while contact lenses (8%), sunglasses (3%) and hearing-aids (5%) supplement the product offering. One major reason for Fielmann’s success are the affordable prices in line with Figure 1: Fielmann Revenue Split fashionable design being offered to its customers. This can be ensured due to 2019 highly productive stores, the purchasing of large quantities, the inhouse production, and an international supply chain. In their production and logistic facility in Rathenow, millions of lenses as well as glasses and frames are produced every year. The manufactured products can

Although founded in Italy, it now gets much of its sales and profits from the United States. And although founded as a part maker for prescription eyeglass frames (optical glasses) it now gets much of its sales and profits from sunglasses. The company can’t really be referred to as either a producer or a retailer. Luxottica is truly vertically integrated. Last year, 59% of the company’s sales came from its own stores. And much of the products sold in its own stores is produced by Luxottica itself. The two constants in Luxottica’s history have been the focus on eyewear and the leadership of Leonardo Del Vecchio. Luxottica gets 59% of its revenue from sales made in its own stores. Del Vecchio moved to Agordo, Italy in by distributing its own frames.

  • Q1 2021 TRADING UPDATE Safilo's Q1 2021 Business Grows Compared to 2020 and 2019
    Press release Q1 2021 Trading Update Q1 2021 TRADING UPDATE Safilo’s Q1 2021 business grows compared to 2020 and 2019: Net sales: +20.0% vs Q1 2020, +6.0% vs Q1 2019 (at constant exchange rates) Adjusted1 EBITDA: Euro 25.8 million, margin 10.3% (2.6% in Q1 2020, 8.1% in Q1 2019) Strong recovery of own and licensed brands, with the new brands in the portfolio effectively compensating the licenses terminated at the end of 2020 Strong growth of the online business, at 13% of the Group’s net sales Significant improvement in profitability driven by sales rebound and now leaner overheads and cost structure Padua, May 11, 2021 – The Board of Directors of Safilo Group S.p.A. has today reviewed and approved Q1 2021 economic and financial key performance indicators. Safilo’s Q1 2021 net sales reached Euro 251.4 million, up 20.0% at constant exchange rates compared to Q1 2020, the first to be hit by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. More meaningfully, Q1 2021 net sales also grew compared to the same quarter of 2019, up 6.0% at constant exchange rates, thanks to the strong performance of the Group’s own brands and core licenses, and to the significant contribution of the new brands in the portfolio effectively compensating the licenses terminated at the end of last year. The positive sales performance of the period was again largely driven by the United States and by a better than expected contribution from the newly acquired ecommerce business, which, coupled with the growth of Smith’s direct-to-consumer (D2C) channel, boosted Safilo’s total online business to 13% of its net sales from 5.9% in Q1 2020.
