Chairman's commentary
Richemont today reports a satisfactory set of results for the year ended 31 March 2014, supported by improvements in Asia Pacific, the Americas and Japan.
Strength in the jewellery and specialist watch segments offset the softness of certain fashion Maisons and Montblanc. As a result, and taking into account the substantial currency headwinds which weighed on the Group's overall performance, operating profit was in line with the prior year. It includes provisions related to the reorganisation of Montblanc, but excludes any hedging gains or losses which are reported 'below’ the operating profit line of the income statement.
Net profit increased by 3 %, including a EUR 214 million positive effect of the exchange rate hedging activities.
The increase in cash flow from operations reflects not only the significant benefits of the exchange rate hedging programme, but also the Maisons' tight working capital management. It allowed the Group to maintain its investment programme while strengthening its financial position: the Group’s net cash position at 31 March 2014 was up by EUR 1.4 billion to EUR 4.7 billion.
Dividend
Based upon the results for the year and in keeping with its stated objective to grow dividends steadily over the long term, the Board has proposed a dividend of CHF 1.40 per share; up from CHF 1.00 per share last year.
Outlook
In the month of April, sales increased by 1 % at actual exchange rates, and by 6 % at constant exchange rates. At actual rates, all regions reported sales growth except for Japan, where the sales tax increase became effective on 1 April. The retail channel continued to outperform wholesale in all regions except Japan. Excluding Japan, sales increased by 4 % at actual exchange rates, and by 8 % at constant exchange rates.
Richemont remains focused on long-term organic growth and value creation for its clients, shareholders and employees. We intend to achieve this objective by offering desirable high quality products and by enhancing our production, product development, and increasingly distribution, through the consistent deployment of our business model across all the Maisons of the Group. We will continue to invest in talent, creativity and innovation, with a particular emphasis on markets with promising growth potential.
As previously announced, Mr Johann Rupert will conclude his sabbatical year of absence in September. He will stand for election as Chairman of the Board at Richemont’s annual general meeting, to be held on 17 September 2014.

Financial Review
Sales
The 5 % increase in sales at actual exchange rates and 10 % at constant exchange rates reflected, in particular, growth in the Group's own retail network, as well as improvements in domestic demand in Europe, North America, Japan and sustained tourism worldwide. Demand for jewellery and haute horlogerie timepieces was robust. Further details of sales by region, distribution channel and business area are given in the Review of Operations on pages 5 to 8.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased by 4 %, marginally lower than the increase in sales. Accordingly, the gross margin percentage was 80 basis points lower at 63.4 % of sales. This decrease was primarily related to a negative currency environment, particularly due to the weakness of the yen and to a lesser degree the US dollar. This negative environment was partly offset by product pricing and the growing proportion of sales made through the Maisons' own boutiques.
Operating profit
Operating profit was in line with the prior year at EUR 2 419 million. The operating margin declined by 120 basis points to 22.7 % for the year.
The increase in gross profit was offset by the planned growth in operating expenses. Selling and distribution expenses were 6 % higher. Communication expenses increased by 4 % and continued to represent some 9 % of sales. Administration and other expenses grew by 8 %. The main increases within operating expenses were linked to depreciation charges and rentals, reflecting an expansion of the Maisons retail networks and higher expenses linked to retail turnover.
Profit for the year
Taking into account EUR 214 million of mark-to-market gains from the Group's currency hedging programme (2013: losses of EUR 120 million), profit for the year increased by 3 % to EUR 2 067 million.
Earnings per share on a diluted basis increased by 2 % to EUR 3.676.
To comply with the South African practice of providing headline earnings per share ('HEPS') data, the relevant figure for headline earnings for the year ended 31 March 2014 would be EUR 2 078 million (2013: EUR 2 020 million). Basic HEPS for the year was EUR 3.721 (2013: EUR 3.672). Diluted HEPS for the year was EUR 3.687 (2013: EUR 3.607). Further details regarding earnings per share and HEPS, including an itemised reconciliation, may be found in note 28 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Cash flow
Cash flow generated from operations was EUR 2 875 million, EUR 931 million above the prior year. The additional cash generation reflected working capital movements: inventory levels increased by just 3 %; and the settlement of foreign exchange cash flow hedging derivatives generated a net cash inflow during the year of EUR 118 million (2013: a net cash outflow of EUR 175 million).
The acquisition of fixed assets and other investments amounted to EUR 719 million, reflecting selected investments in the Group's worldwide network of boutiques and further investments in manufacturing facilities, notably in Switzerland. Those investments followed the Maisons' own manufacturing integration and capacity-building strategies.
The 2013 dividend, at CHF 1.00 per share, was paid to shareholders net of withholding tax in September. The cash outflow in the year amounted to EUR 452 million.
During the year, the Group acquired 1.1 million 'A' shares to hedge executive stock options. The cost of these purchases was more than offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options by executives and other activities linked to the hedging programme, leading to a net cash inflow of EUR 91 million.
Financial structure and balance sheet
Tangible and intangible assets increased by EUR 192 million during the year, after depreciation and amortisation charges.
Inventories at the year-end amounted to EUR 4 455 million (2013: EUR 4 326 million). This figure represents 17 months of gross inventories: the rotation rate remained stable thanks to disciplined management by all Maisons.
At 31 March 2014, the Group's net cash position amounted to EUR 4 659 million (2013: EUR 3 215 million). The net cash position includes short-term liquid bond funds as well as cash and cash equivalents net of all borrowings. Liquid bond funds and cash balances were primarily denominated in euros and Swiss francs, whereas borrowings to finance local operating assets are denominated in the currencies of the countries concerned. Total borrowings, including bank borrowings and short-term loans, amounted to EUR 394 million.
Richemont's financial structure remains strong, with shareholders' equity representing 75 % of total equity and liabilities.
Proposed dividend
The Board has proposed a cash dividend of CHF 1.40 per share.
+--------------------++--------------++-----------------++-----------++
|The dividend will be||Gross dividend||Swiss withholding||Net payable||

+--------------------++--------------++-----------------++-----------++
The dividend will be payable following the Annual General Meeting, which is scheduled to take place in Geneva on Wednesday 17 September 2014.
The last day to trade Richemont 'A' shares and Richemont South African Depository Receipts cum-dividend will be Thursday 18 September 2014. Both will trade ex-dividend from Friday 19 September 2014.
The dividend on the Compagnie Financière Richemont 'A' shares will be paid on Wednesday 24 September 2014. The dividend in respect of the 'A' shares is payable in Swiss francs.
The dividend in respect of Richemont South African Depository Receipts will be payable on Friday 3 October 2014. The South African Depository Receipt dividend is payable in rand to residents of the South African Common Monetary Area ('CMA') but may, dependent upon residence status, be payable in Swiss francs to non-CMA residents. Further details regarding the dividend payable to South African Depository Receipt holders, including information relating to withholding taxes, may be found in a separate announcement dated 15 May 2014 on SENS, the Johannesburg stock exchange news service.

* movements at constant exchange rates are calculated translating underlying sales in local currencies into euros in both the current year and the comparative year at the average exchange rates applicable for the financial year ended 31 March 2013.
Europe, including Middle East and Africa
Europe accounted for 37 % of overall sales. Following the previous year's high comparative growth, sales in the region moderated to a high single-digit rate. The highest rates of growth were in the Maisons’ own boutiques located in tourist destinations, including Geneva, Paris, London and cities in the Middle East. The Maisons noted an improvement in domestic purchases. Markets in the Middle East and Africa reported strong double-digit growth.
Asia Pacific
Sales in the Asia Pacific region accounted for 40 % of the Group total, with Hong Kong and mainland China the two largest markets. The overall rate of growth during the year marginally improved. Sales growth in Hong Kong and Macau was satisfactory, whereas sales in mainland China were below the prior year's level. The decrease in mainland China reflected the performance in the wholesale channel. Korea and Australia enjoyed strong double-digit growth.
Americas
The Americas region, which accounted for 15 % of Group sales, posted an accelerated growth compared to the prior year, primarily driven by domestic demand.
Japan
Sales growth in Japan was robust, benefiting from strong domestic consumption. The significant increase partly stemmed from the impact of the yen's devaluation compared to other countries as well advanced purchasing decisions towards the financial year-end, linked to sales tax changes. The yen's devaluation boosted inbound tourism to Japan and discouraged outbound travel by Japanese customers. Exchange rate effects more than offset the sales growth in yen terms.
2. Sales by distribution channel

+-------------+-------------++-------------+------------+---------------+
* movements at constant exchange rates are calculated translating underlying sales in local currencies into euros in both the current year and the comparative year at the average exchange rates applicable for the financial year ended 31 March 2013.
Retail
Retail sales, comprising directly operated boutiques and Net-a-Porter, increased by 8 %. Retail sales growth continues to exceed the growth in wholesale sales and 55 % of Group sales were generated through the Maisons' boutique networks during the year.
The growth in retail sales partly reflected the addition of 42 internal boutiques to the Maisons' network, which reached 1 056 stores, and the performance of Net-a-Porter's e-commerce businesses. The openings during the year were primarily in high-growth markets and tourist destinations.
Wholesale
The Group's wholesale business, including sales to franchise partners, reported moderate growth. The year's performance reflected the caution of wholesale partners in general.
3. Sales and operating results by segment
Jewellery Maisons
+-------------------++-------------++-------------+--------+
|In EUR millions ||31 March 2014||31 March 2013| Change|
+-------------------++-------------++-------------+--------+
|Sales || 5 438|| 5 206| + 4 %|
+-------------------++-------------++-------------+--------+
|Operating results || 1 890|| 1 818| + 4 %|
+-------------------++-------------++-------------+--------+
|Operating margin || 34.8 %|| 34.9 %|- 10 bps|
+-------------------++-------------++-------------+--------+
The Jewellery Maisons - Cartier and Van Cleef and Arpels - grew by 4 % in a subdued environment.
The Maisons' boutique networks reported good growth and also benefitted from further openings. Demand for jewellery was particularly strong; demand for Cartier's watch collections was moderate, tempered by lower wholesale orders.
The operating margin was in line with the prior year at 35 %.
Specialist Watchmakers
+-----------------++-------------++-------------+--------+
|In EUR millions ||31 March 2014||31 March 2013| Change|
+-----------------++-------------++-------------+--------+
|Sales || 2 986|| 2 752| + 9 %|
+-----------------++-------------++-------------+--------+
|Operating results|| 778|| 733| + 6 %|
+-----------------++-------------++-------------+--------+
|Operating margin || 26.1 %|| 26.6 %|- 50 bps|
+-----------------++-------------++-------------+--------+
The Specialist Watchmakers' sales increased by 9 % overall and all reported improved results, including Baume and Mercier.
Operating contribution was 6 % higher than the prior year, notwithstanding substantial currency headwinds. The contribution margin for the year remained stable at 26 %.
Montblanc Maison
+----------------++-------------++-------------+---------+
|In EUR millions ||31 March 2014||31 March 2013| Change|
+----------------++-------------++-------------+---------+
|Sales || 730|| 766| - 5 %|
+----------------++-------------++-------------+---------+
|Operating result|| 43|| 120| - 64 %|
+----------------++-------------++-------------+---------+
|Operating margin|| 5.9 %|| 15.7 %|- 980 bps|
+----------------++-------------++-------------+---------+
Unfavourable currency effects and soft sales across product categories and geographies, particularly in mainland China, led to a 5 % sales decrease.
Compared with other Group businesses, Montblanc relies more on local customers in both established and new markets and enjoys fewer sales from tourism. Down to 6 % of sales, the lower operating contribution also reflected restructuring provisions amounting to EUR 25 million and the closure of numerous points of sale.
With effect from 1 April 2014, Montblanc Maison will be reported within the 'Other' segment.
Other
+-----------------++-------------++-------------+---------+
|In EUR millions ||31 March 2014||31 March 2013| Change|
+-----------------++-------------++-------------+---------+
|Sales || 1 495|| 1 426| + 5 %|
+-----------------++-------------++-------------+---------+
|Operating results|| (80)|| (38)| - 111 %|
+-----------------++-------------++-------------+---------+
|Operating margin || (5.3) %|| (2.7) %|- 260 bps|
+-----------------++-------------++-------------+---------+
'Other' includes the Group's Fashion and Accessories businesses, Net-a-Porter and the Group's watch component manufacturing activities.
The increase in reported operating losses reflected the performances at Alfred Dunhill, Chloé and Lancel. Sales growth at Net-a-Porter continued to exceed the Group's average and that business reported improved results.
Losses at the Group’s watch component manufacturing facilities were in line with the comparative year.
Corporate costs
+------------------------++-------------++-------------+------+
|In EUR millions ||31 March 2014||31 March 2013|Change|

+------------------------++-------------++-------------+------+

Corporate costs represent the costs of central management, marketing support and other central functions (collectively central support services), as well as other expenses and income which are not allocated to specific business areas. Excluding charges incurred for social security stemming from the Group’s stock option programme, central support services decreased by 5 %.
