heads LVMH Sephora as growth slows for Louis Vuitton

  PARIS, France - Justine Sassier would not be caught dead buying a Louis Vuitton bag.

"You have no choice," the 18-year-old art student named said $ 1.340 handbags Monogram brand when shopping on the Champs Elysees in Paris.

Luckily for the owner Vuitton, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA, the crazy Sassier € 13.90 ($ 18) from Sephora foundation, perfume sold is a rapidly growing company and cosmetics. "I love her makeup," she said. "And that is a reasonable price."

With sales growth slowing Vuitton Barcelona to Beijing, the purchaser of the beauty found as Sassier is increasingly important for LVMH. Curb as buyers spend $ 940 Neverfull bags splurge on $ 31 Dior Addict Lipstick, Sephora is unit of LVMH Selective Retailing beyond fashion and leather goods, as his biggest business in 2018, estimates Sanford Bernstein. This can be better than its competitors like LVMH PPR SA Weather laid stagnant demand luxury.

"Sephora is a category killer," Sanford Bernstein analyst Mario Ortelli said. Investors fear that sales are fading to keep Vuitton brand "LVMH careful."

The owner of more than 60 brands - Dom Perignon Champagne Bulgari Jewelry - LVMH reported in April, the lowest fashion and leather goods sales in more than three years. The shares are up 1.6 percent this year in Paris, against an increase of 19 percent for PPR and an increase of 20 percent for Cie. Financiere Richemont SA.

LVMH Selective Retailing division, which includes Paris department store Le Bon Marché and operator of duty-free shops DFS and Miami Cruiseline Services, accounted for 28 percent of 2012 sales.

Ortelli recommend buying LVMH and PPR maintenance. LVMH sales by 7.5 percent moved forward this year, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg. This is faster than analysts predicted growth of 5.2 percent for PPR.

Sephora is the introduction of services such as mobile payments and expand their own label, to keep the consumer sector. It also expands in Latin America and Asia, to attract consumers to the middle class, to stimulate growth in emerging markets.

However, PPR is from the supermarket. The company aims to spin off its media and electronics chain Fnac and have online fashion provider La Redoute this year. It is also close to shops and sporting goods manufacturer Puma SE, as she fights falling non-luxury sales.

LVMH Selective Distribution division has an annual turnover of 14.7 billion € 2017, estimates Sanford Bernstein. 13 percent annual growth of income of the unit, driven by Asian and Latin American customers, nearly double the estimate of the company for the LVMH fashion bags business "and about three euros monitor forecasts for luxury in general.

Slowing demand for luxury is not unique to LVMH. After Bulimia property of Rolex watches Hermes Birkin bags, consumers reduced their spending as the failure of the economy. The consumption is lower in Europe, Taiwan and Korea, "China is not as dynamic as it was two years ago was," PPR Chief Financial Officer Jean-Marc Duplaix said in April by Brand Gucci reported its lower sales growth since 2009, excluding currency fluctuations.

However, Sephora and DFS are growing. New stores in Shanghai and Hong Kong have a 17 percent sales splurge in the first quarter compared to the selective-commerce as an emerging middle class in the region on similar goods fueled Bobby Brown cosmetics and Johnnie Walker whiskey. LVMH fell executives available to discuss the business.

Offers a wide range of treatments and fragrances was the key to the success of Sephora, since it was founded in 1969. Takeover by LVMH in 1997 it was the largest retailer in the beauty of the world, with around 1,300 branches in 27 countries. Sephora plans to open approximately 120 stores by the year 2017, estimates Sanford Bernstein.

There are no multi-competitor who covers the support of LVMH as many regions as Sephora and Ulta competitors such as the United States and in France Nocibé SA do not have the resources they enjoy. Sephora has 27 percent of the retail market of beauty in France, 12 percent in the U.S. and 15 percent in China, Sanford Bernstein said.

At the end of the Sephora on the Champs Elysées € 30.30 Dior products like false eyelashes "iconic" a line of house-label extensions retailers sits down € 9.90. Known brands, loyalty cards and services such as nail bars near the entrance lure shoppers inside, while the organization provides goods by the customer to choose between similar products to a wide range of prices.

"Their business model is very clever," said Joel Palix, president of Clarins Fragrance Group sells Thierry Mugler fragrances from Sephora. Storage means Sephora exclusive products may restrict discounts, and private label merchandise margins are high, he said.

It's a similar story at DFS. The company was founded in 1960, and LVMH bought a stake in 1996. Today, the distributor sells more than 100 brands of Juicy Couture for Absolut vodka, in 14 countries. New and improved shops in airports and shopping areas of the city where travelers can buy goods and a refund of VAT when they leave the country, which means "DFS well positioned to benefit from the growth in Asian tourism," said Magali Dubreil , an analyst at Planet Retail researcher.

While the benefits of selective distribution to increase the pace of LVMH's fashion and leather goods division before interest and taxes by 24 percent per year until 2017, three times, according to Sanford Bernstein, the less profitable than other parts of the business. Vuitton alone represents more than 5.9 billion euros half of LVMH's operating profit in 2012, Exane BNP Paribas estimates. The advantage of selective distribution is € 854 million last year - or 14 percent of LVMH.

But the mass market of LVMH Sephora and DFS provides an attractive investment Vuitton raises prices, more leather in their collections and limit the expansion of the business in order to appear more exclusive, says Exane BNP Paribas analyst Luca Solca.

Perfumes and cosmetics are the main tool to attract customers ambitious Solca said. In hundredths of a lipstick costs the price of a Vuitton handbag and a thousandth of a window, "perfumes and cosmetics is the luxury of the masses," he said.

Louis Vuitton owner face in fine luxury rowLouis Vuitton owner face fine in the luxury line

  A battle between French luxury handbag manufacturers distributed in the public eye on Friday with regulators investigating the maximum fine for Louis Vuitton owner LVMH (LVMH.PA) for non-implementation of the initiatives reveal a game rival Hermes (HRMS.PA) to build.

The series revolves around human beings, for the first time in late 2010 most of the owner LVMH and France's Bernard Arnault man who introduced the company with the participation of nearly one-fifth of its great rival on the left, the producer of the famous Kelly and Birkin handbags.

Arnault of LVMH built regularly acquisition of other brands of the last decade, says he is happy to remain a long-term shareholder, while some industry observers may hope to say play a long game, one day, to convince sell the owner of the Hermes family.

Hermes owners have fought tooth and nail against Arnault, but had acquired an initial 14 per cent since the discovery of LVMH.

Regulator AMF said on Friday that relations LVMH were unclear about their participation in the Hermes and presented a serious offense that will be pulled even considered "cheating."

LVMH, which now owns 22.6 percent of Hermes, the stock market surprised in October 2010, when he announced that he bought a 14 percent partly through derivatives, which had allowed him not report their participation.

The AMF said LVMH in its financial statements should disclose the size of its exposure to equities by the Hermes shares in 2008 and purchased from the fact that he had acquired a stake in Hermes nearly 5 percent in 2001 and 2002.

In France, companies are required to disclose when they take if the destination listed on the stock exchange a share of more than 5, 10 and 15 percent of the capital of another company.

Hermes is also difficult LVMH stake in a separate trial. The final AMF will not affect the judicial process, but still a boost for Hermès.

The amount of the fine, 10 million euros ($ 13.05 million) is small change for a group with a market value of around € 70 billion, but the regulator's decision is a setback for public relations Arnault, who has over 60 luxury brands.

HERMES ATTRACTION

Arnault owns Louis Vuitton, the largest luxury brand in the world in terms of revenue, with a chain of wine and spirits makers, including the Hennessy cognac and Moet & Chandon.

He built the group into a world power in the space of 15 years, through the acquisition of brands such as Guerlain and Chateau d'Yquem. Own spectacular growth in the Hermes brand is worth more than 3 billion Euros annual turnover is wet his appetite.

The hearing revealed that largest luxury group in the world in 2007 and 2008, Lazard and Rothschild had hired bankers, the possibility of gaining control of Hermes and an alliance with some family members discuss shareholders.

Since the release of their participation Hermes LVMH has always denied seek control of Hermes and denied any wrongdoing in relation to disclosure and transparency.

Hermes is controlled by three families, Puech, Dumas and Guerrand representing more than 75 descendants of Emile Hermes, who founded the company in 1837 as a harness and saddlery.

They responded to LVMH interest accumulation by creating a portfolio that controls 51 percent of the company if the AMF investigation also revealed that the largest shareholder Nicolas Puech Hermes family had sold some of its shares in LVMH.

This raises the question as to the claim that public Hermès family was united in the fight against LVMH.

Earlier Friday, said the AMF, it would have to consider the attractiveness of LVMH for the judicial process to be invalidated, but it would not stop the process. The Disciplinary Committee of the AMF within a couple of weeks to meet the results of the controller and the proposed end.
