Steady Growth in Q1 2026
The group reported consolidated revenue of EUR 7,127 million in the first quarter of 2026, marking a 10.8% increase at constant exchange rates compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Optical and eyewear activities remain at the heart of this progression, supported by a continuous innovation dynamic.
Significant Advances in Strategic Segments
The group highlights significant advances in several strategic segments. Wearables have shown very good results, particularly with the successful launch of the new Ray-Ban Meta optical models. Concurrently, the myopia management solutions platform is progressing solidly and continuously, confirming the strategic refocus on science and med-tech. These developments demonstrate the group's ability to steer its portfolio towards areas with higher technological and therapeutic added value.
Geographical Expansion in Southeast Asia
EssilorLuxottica continues its geographical expansion in Southeast Asia with a strategic investment in Thailand. The group has acquired a stake in Top Charoen, an operator with a network of 2,000 stores, facilitating access for millions of people to its visual health ecosystem. This move is accompanied by the mobilization of its global partners during the SWITCH events organized in Orlando and Monaco, where several thousand partners and clients were able to discover technological advancements and the group's portfolio of solutions.
