In the first half of 2025, Moncler reported a small increase in total revenue, even as international travel dipped and shoppers in key markets like Europe and Japan tightened their wallets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"398\" data-end=\"605\">From January to June, the company brought in \u20ac1.23 billion, which is up just 1% when adjusted for currency changes. Sales of the core Moncler brand also rose 1%, totalling about \u20ac1.04 billion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"812\">Its other label, Stone Island, didn\u2019t do quite as well. Overall, Stone Island\u2019s revenue fell by 1%, though it bounced back with a 6% jump in the second quarter, some good news amid the slowdown.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"814\" data-end=\"1046\">Moncler\u2019s sales slipped 2% in the second quarter, mostly due to weaker results in stores across Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and Japan. However, sales in the Americas rose by 5%, as store performance improved.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1328\">While sales were mostly flat, profits dropped. The company\u2019s operating income (EBIT) fell to \u20ac224.8 million, down from \u20ac258.7 million a year ago. Profit margins also shrank from 21% to 18.3%, partly because the company spent more on marketing earlier in the year.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1461\">Net profit, what the company earned after all expenses, dropped to \u20ac153.5 million, compared to \u20ac180.7 million last year.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1715\">Despite the headwinds, CEO Remo Ruffini says Moncler is staying the course. \u201cThe first half of the year reminded us how unpredictable and complex the world can be,\u201d he said, noting the company will keep pushing forward despite economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1919\">Moncler ended the period with nearly \u20ac1 billion in cash, even after handing out \u20ac345 million in dividends to shareholders. It also invested \u20ac82 million in new stores and infrastructure upgrades.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1921\" data-end=\"2139\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Looking ahead, Moncler says it\u2019s staying focused on being flexible and continuing to invest in its brands, especially as the rest of 2025 looks uncertain due to rising global tensions and ongoing economic concerns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luxury fashion brand Moncler is feeling the effects of a tougher global economy, but it\u2019s managing to hold steady, for\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":81679,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,73],"tags":[21499],"class_list":["post-81678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion-beauty","category-us-markets","tag-moncler"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
