Kering reported first-quarter revenue of €3.568 billion, stable on a comparable basis but down 6% as reported. CEO Luca de Meo said the results mark "an important first step" in the company's recovery, with nearly all brands delivering growth during the quarter.

New collections are rolling out progressively throughout the year. Directly operated retail sales, including e-commerce, declined 2% on a comparable basis, whilst wholesale revenue rose 6%, driven by strong eyewear performance.
