Armani revenue slips in 2025

Italian fashion group Armani posted a slight fall in revenue last year ​and a core profit increase in what ‌it described as a "difficult" year for the global industry, Il Sole 24 Ore quoted CEO Carlo ​Marsocci as saying on Wednesday.

• In 2025, ​the company's revenue fell 2.8% to 2.192 ⁠billion euros ($2.56 billion), while total turnover, including ​direct licensee sales, was 4 billion euros, ​Marsocci said.

• Trends in the first quarter of 2026 were in line with the previous year, he added, ​with unfavourable currency movements weighing on performance.

• ​Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation rose 3.2% ‌to ⁠152.7 million euros, while operating profit increased to 52.6 million euros year on year, he said.

• Marsocci said there was no update ​on the group's ​shareholding structure, ⁠adding that interest in the Armani group remained strong.

• "We have not ​started meetings with the three potential ​buyers, ⁠and there are no tensions among the family members," Marsocci said in a separate interview with ⁠WWD ​magazine, denying some online ​rumours.

• Armani is due to report its figures for 2025 later ​on Wednesday.
