Credit for this goes above all to the undisputed force of our business model, based on integration between efficient manufacturing platforms, a brand portfolio of the very first order, a highly structured and extensive distribution system, a network of over 6,250 retail locations worldwide and, not least, the successful integration with Oakley, which has already begun, after only one year, to yield major synergies that demonstrate the soundness of the operation. These are strengths that we continued to develop, even in a year as difficult as 2008, which started with growth and ended in a slowdown. It’s worth noting, however, that we operate in an industry that’s proving resilient: in 2008, in fact, we did not see high growth rates, but neither did we see any unexpected negative swings. Above all, the prescription eyewear business, in which we are a world leader, did not show evident signs of slowing down. Over the year, Luxottica managed to react effectively and rapidly. As macro-economic conditions changed, the Group promptly took measures designed on one hand to boost sales and on the other to improve efficiency by adapting our cost structure to the new environment. 2008 was a challenging year but we are convinced that we made our Company even stronger and laid the foundations for further long-term growth, and this without compromising Luxottica’s commitment to helping the needy, for whom we launched OneSight, the global foundation that combined the Group’s existing charity structures. With 20 years of experience, during which nearly seven million people have been helped, OneSight is engaged in recovering and recycling used eyewear, organizing international and local missions clinics to distribute eyewear free of charge, and in the prevention of eye diseases and support for research. These are priority objectives that reflect our deep sense of social responsibility and help us move closer to our ultimate aim: people’s visual well-being and satisfaction.

NET SALES AND OPERATING MARGIN IN % NET SALES AND OPERATING MARGIN IN % LUXOTTICA GROUP PROFILE 9< With net sales of Euro 5.2 billion in 2008, over 60,000 employees and a solid global presence, Luxottica is a world leader in premium, luxury and sports eyewear. Founded in 1961 by Leonardo Del Vecchio, the Group is now a vertically integrated organization whose manufacturing of prescription and sun frames is backed by a wide-reaching wholesale distribution network and a retail distribution network comprising over 6,250 retail locations, mostly in North America, Asia- Pacific and China. Product design, development and manufacturing takes place in six production facilities in Italy, two wholly- owned factories in the People’s Republic of China and a sports sunglasses production facility in California, USA. Luxottica also has a small plant in India, serving the local market. In 2008, production reached approximately 50 million units, of which around 10 million were produced by the newly acquired Oakley production facility. Luxottica products are outstanding in terms of design and quality and are known all around the world thanks to a strong and well-balanced brand portfolio. House brands include Ray-Ban, the world’s best known sun brand, Oakley, Vogue, Persol, Oliver Peoples, Arnette and REVO, while its license brands include Bvlgari, Burberry, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Donna Karan, Polo Ralph Lauren, Prada, Salvatore Ferragamo, Tiffany and Versace. The Group’s wholesale distribution, comprising 130 countries across five continents, has 23 logistics centers and 30 commercial branches providing direct operations in key markets. Penetration in emerging markets and in new channels of distribution, such as shopping centers, airports and railway stations, is particularly significant. Direct wholesale operations are complemented by one of the world’s most extensive optical retail networks. Luxottica is a leader in the prescription eyewear business in North America with its LensCrafters and Pearle Vision chains, in Asia-Pacific with OPSM, Laubman & Pank and Budget Eyewear, and in China with LensCrafters. In the sun business, the Group operates around 2,300 retail locations in North America, Asia-Pacific, South Africa, Europe and the Middle East, mainly through the Sunglass Hut brand. In North America, the world’s largest prescription eyewear market in terms of sales, Luxottica also operates licensed brand points of sale, with over 1,200 stores under the Target Optical and Sears Optical brands. In addition, Luxottica is one of the primary managed vision care operators in North America, through EyeMed, and the second biggest lens finisher, having a network of seven central laboratories and over 900 labs inside LensCrafters stores. Lastly, control of the Oakley brand, a global icon in optics for performance, provides a powerful presence in both the market as a whole and in the sport channel, in which Luxottica Group operates at both a wholesale level and through the single-brand O Stores retail chain. HISTORY > 10 FOUNDING Luxottica Group originated in 1961, when Leonardo Del Vecchio set up Luxottica di Del Vecchio e C. S.a.S., which subsequently became a joint-stock company under the name of Luxottica S.p.A. Having started out as a small workshop, the Company operated until the end of the ‘60s as a contract producer of dies, metal components and semi-finished goods for the optical industry. Leonardo Del Vecchio gradually widened the range of processes until he had an integrated manufacturing structure capable of producing a finished pair of glasses. In 1971, Luxottica’s first collection of prescription eyewear was presented at Milan’s MIDO (an international optics trade fair), thus marking Luxottica’s definitive transition from contract manufacturer to successful independent producer. EXPANSION IN WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION In the early ’70s, the Company sold its frames exclusively through wholesale dealers. In 1974, after five years of sustained development of its manufacturing capacity, Del Vecchio understood the importance of directly controlling distribution and started to pursue a strategy of vertical integration, with the goal of distributing frames directly onto the market.

  • Italy's Luxottica Net Sales Decline on Currency, Harsh Winter; Maker of Ray-Ban, Oakley Sunglasses Says New Orders Rise in Spring Season
    Italy's Luxottica Net Sales Decline on Currency, Harsh Winter; Maker of Ray-Ban, Oakley Sunglasses Says New Orders Rise in Spring Season MILAN—Italian eyewear maker Luxottica Group LUX.MI +1.85% SpA saw net sales slide 1.2% in the first quarter, dragged down by the strength of the euro and harsh weather in North America that put shoppers off buying new glasses. Luxottica, the world's largest eyewear group and owner of Ray-Ban, Oakley and Sunglass Hut, reported that group sales fell to 1.84 billion euros in the first quarter from €1.86 billion from the same period last year, while net profit fell to €157 million from €159 million. However, the group flagged an improvement in sales for its "crucial sun season" starting in the spring, saying that its portfolio of orders has seen double-digit growth. Fashion eyewear is a bright spot in the luxury market, with shoppers still willing to splash out on an affordable treat. The Italian group, which recently signed a major partnership with Google Inc. to design and develop new versions of the Web-connected glasses, said that the harsh winter suffered by North America and the strength of the euro against a number of currencies, including the dollar and the Japanese yen, had dragged on results. When adjusted for currency, Luxottica reported that group net sales rose by 4.2%. "In the first quarter of the year, we preformed overall better than the figures say," Chief Executive Andrea Guerra said in a statement. The company's wholesale division saw sales rise by 3.0%, with Europe, North America and emerging markets all increasing.
