Q1 revenues rise 15 percent at Christian Dior

In the first quarter of the 2017 fiscal year, the Christian Dior group recorded revenue of 10.4 billion euros (11 billion dollars), up 15 percent at actual exchange rates compared to the period from January 1 to March 31, 2016. The company said, organic revenue growth was 13 percent, with all business groups contributing to this increase.

During the first quarter, the group benefited from a favourable comparison base, particularly in Europe, where activity was affected last year by the impact of the November 2015 attacks in Paris. However, the statement added that the trend currently observed cannot reasonably be extrapolated for the full year.
