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. Gucci remains the group's top priority, with a comprehensive turnaround underway focusing on client experience, distribution and product offerings. 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. Kering completed major transactions in beauty, jewellery and real estate during the quarter, strengthening its balance sheet. The company will present its strategic roadmap, "ReconKering", at a Capital Markets Day on 16 April in Florence.

Kering has finalised a transaction agreement with Al-Mirqab Group regarding its property at Via Monte Napoleone 8 in Milan. The iconic 18th-century building, situated at a prominent corner of Milan's Quadrilatero della Moda luxury district, is one of the largest properties on the street. Kering has contributed the asset to a newly incorporated company, held 80% by Al-Mirqab Group and 20% by Kering. The luxury group received €729 million at closing, with an additional €432 million to be paid in five years. The investment follows similar real estate partnerships in Paris and New York last year, forming part of Kering's selective property strategy to secure key locations for its houses whilst enhancing financial flexibility. Kering generated €14.7 billion in revenue in 2025.
