OUR MISSION The right to be beautiful day after day: L’Oréal strives to make this a reality within the reach of every woman and every man. This ambi- tion is reflected in a brand portfolio unequalled anywhere in the world. Since its creation in 1909, the group has always considered this mission of prime importance. The thousands of men and women who have built up the group across the world have made this their personal mission statement. They use their intelligence and creativity, their innovative ability and all their expertise to further the cause of beauty the world over. As well as meeting current consumer aspirations, L’Oréal anticipates their future expectations, being, as always, determined to promote an approach to beauty that is fun, affordable, fulfilling, genuine and generous. None of this would be possible without L’Oréal’s deep respect for human beings of all types and nationalities, and without its genuine commitment to a sustainable environment. Strengthened by these values, and convinced that the quest for beauty has always been a major challenge for women and men, L’Oréal’s teams continue daily to push forward the frontiers of their profession. 02 _ CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE A PERFECTLY SMOOTH TRANSITION THE SUCCESSION IS SECURE 2006 was an important milestone in the history of Generating dynamism in our businesses all over the L’Oréal.

There is no doubt that in this area Jean-Paul Agon and his management team bring a fresh approach to our vision. The succession is secure. The determination, imagina- tion and vitality at the head of the company make me confident as I look forward, not just to 2007 but also much further ahead: to women and men ready to make their dreams a reality and to make sure that L’Oréal’s heart always beats to the rhythm of success.

    Clichy, 18 April 2017 at 6 p.m. FIRST QUARTER 2017 SALES STRONG SALES GROWTH AT +7.5% VERY DIFFERENTIATED PERFORMANCES BY DIVISION IN A TEMPORARILY ATYPICAL MARKET VERY STRONG ORGANIC GROWTH FOR L’ORÉAL LUXE AT +12.2%1 Sales: 7.04 billion euros o +7.5% based on reported figures o +5.1% at constant exchange rates 1 o +4.2% like-for-like Commenting on the figures, Mr Jean-Paul Agon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of L'Oréal, said: “The cosmetics market has unexpectedly proven extremely atypical in the first weeks of the year, with very strong consumption of luxury products, especially in Asia, and, on the contrary, a very slow start for consumption in the mass-market and the professional market. The market seems to have become steadier and is returning to a more usual profile. In this context, the Group delivered a good first quarter, up by +7.5% based on reported figures and +4.2% like-for-like. Performance levels are consequently very differentiated across the Divisions, with outstanding growth for L’Oréal Luxe, a satisfactory start for Active Cosmetics, moderate growth for Consumer Products despite market share gains, and a slight drop for Professional Products. Across the geographic Zones, sales in Western Europe are continuing to hold up well, despite a disappointing market in France, thanks to outstanding growth rates in the United Kingdom, Germany and Spain. North America is continuing to prove dynamic. Lastly, the New Markets delivered a solid performance, particularly in Eastern Europe and Asia; Brazil remains difficult and the Middle East is affected by the downturn of the markets.
