LVMH reports Q1 sales; revenue advanced 4% to €7.21 billion; Wine & spirits, Belvedere vodka down on sales.

Analysts predicted € 7.4 billion. Sales climbed 6%, excluding acquisitions, disposals and currency swings. Louis Vuitton sales to domestic consumers in Europe slightly improved year-on-year. Wines and spirits sales fell 3% on an organic basis. The trend is explained by the performance of cognac and Belvedere vodka in China, linked to current destocking by retailers. LVMH is introducing more expensive products at handbag maker Louis Vuitton, while increasing investment at some of its smaller fashion brands amid competition from lower-priced labels such as Michael Kors and Coach. Prada last week forecasted slowing same-store sales growth in the financial year through January 2015, citing a strong euro and weakening demand in China. Sales of fashion and leather goods climbed 9% on an organic basis, compared with a 3% gain in Q1 of 2013. The division’s total sales advanced 11%, boosted by last year’s acquisition of Italian cashmere clothier Loro Piana and British shoe brand Nicholas Kirkwood. LVMH doesn’t report earnings at the end of Q1. The shares rose 1% last week to € 136.45 in Paris, giving the company a market value of € 69.3 billion. It is estimated that the luxury market will probably grow 5-6% annually though 2017 Private Equity & Venture Capital - Luxury Brands - EDM Events - Brand Entertainment - Celeb DJs - Content Strategies - Inbound Marketing Esentials - Newmedia - Opening doors in mergeing markets; Become a clubmember http://www.monarchcapital.eu/ #Online #retail #luxury #brands #youngandminted #CEO #marketing #fanpower #privateequity #venturecapital #Funding #IPO #Tech #Newmedia #Startups #EDM #DJ #Seedcapital #entertainment #Facebook #fanengagement #fanloyalty #loyaltyprogram #musicindustry #socialmedia

Galeries Lafayette shareholder buys stake in Carrefour

The Moulin family that controls French department store Galeries Lafayette announced it had bought a 6.1% stake in Carrefour making it the second-biggest shareholder in the French supermarket chain. Based on Monday's closing price, the transaction would be worth about € 1.28 billion. Apparently the stake was bought on the market. We regard the acquisition as "a friendly approach". Motier - the holding company of the Moulin family which owns 100% of Galeries Lafayette - has acquired 44.2 million shares of Carrefour, or 6.1% of its capital, Motier said in a statement. It seems like this is a long-term strategic investment and reflects our confidence in the growth potential of Carrefour. The Galeries Lafayette group however, will continue to focus on its core department store business and will invest the necessary funds in that business in the years ahead. The Moulin family were the founders of supermarket chain Monoprix, so in a way the Carrefour investment is a return to their first business, which was supermarkets. With the acquisition, Motier becomes Carrefour's second-biggest shareholder after the consortium of Groupe Arnault and some private equity funds like Colony Capital, which together own 14.77% of Carrefours' capital and 20.06% of the voting rights, according to Carrefour's latest annual report.
