MILAN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ermenegildo Zegna N.V. (NYSE:ZGN) (“Zegna Group,” the “Group,” “Zegna,” or the “Company”), owner of the ZEGNA and Thom Browne brands and exclusive licensee for the TOM FORD fashion business, today announced unaudited revenues of €431 million for the third quarter of 2023. Revenues were up 20.8% year-over-year and up 25.0% year-over-year on a constant currency3 basis, with an organic growth rate of 11.3%. For the first nine months of the year, unaudited revenues came in at €1,334 million, up 22.9% year-over-year and up 24.8% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 19.2%. Revenues for the first nine months of 2023 reflect the consolidation of Tom Ford International LLC as of April 29, 2023, as well as the consolidation of Pelletteria Tizeta S.r.l., which was previously accounted for using the equity method, as of the same date.

Ermenegildo “Gildo” Zegna, Chairman and CEO of the Zegna Group, said: “Our results this quarter continue to showcase the broad-based strength of our three brands and the successful execution of our strategy. I am particularly pleased that we are performing well across a diverse set of regions, as the balance of our geographic mix provides resilience in a highly dynamic environment.”

“I am confident that the continued progress of the ZEGNA rebranding, including the full implementation of the One Brand strategy in China, the expansion opportunities for Thom Browne, and the integration and evolution of TOM FORD FASHION all provide valuable tailwinds despite the current global operating environment.”

“The Group’s leadership team is looking forward to our second Capital Markets Day this December at the New York Stock Exchange, where we will be presenting our updated financial goals, including those for the TOM FORD fashion business.”

Recent Highlights

  • ZEGNA to Directly Operate Business in South Korea

    On October 23, 2023, ZEGNA executed an agreement with its South Korean franchise partner through which the Group will purchase the entity operating the ZEGNA business in the country. Pursuant to this, ZEGNA will directly operate its South Korean business starting in the first quarter of 2024. This includes converting the 15 ZEGNA stores in the region to direct-to-consumer points of sale. ZEGNA has been present in South Korea since 1997 and this step is consistent with the brand’s strategy of continuing to increase control over the business.
  • Thom Browne celebrates 20th Anniversary

    As Thom Browne celebrates its 20th anniversary, the brand has launched a monograph celebrating the legacy of the house and the man behind it. Earlier this month, the Victoria & Albert Museum celebrated the iconic designer in a special conversation with fashion writer and author Charlie Porter.

  • TOM FORD FASHION Updates

    On September 21, 2023, Peter Hawkings debuted his very first collection as Creative Director of Tom Ford. The show, which was part of the Spring / Summer 2024 Milan Fashion Week, was very well-received by the media, critics and the trade, heralding a new chapter in fashion for the iconic brand under the stewardship of the Group.

Review of Revenues for the Third Quarter 2023 and the Nine Months ended September 30, 2023

In the third quarter of 2023, Zegna Group generated revenues of €431 million, an increase of 20.8% year-over-year. On a constant currency basis, revenues grew by 25.0% compared to the same period in the prior year, with an organic growth rate of 11.3%. Growth was led primarily by the strength of Zegna-branded products, especially in the direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) channel.

Revenues by Segment

Zegna Segment: For the third quarter of 2023, revenues for the Zegna segment amounted to €298 million, growing 3.0% year-over-year and 6.0% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 12.7% for the quarter. This brought revenues for the first nine months of the year to €950 million, up 12.7% year-over-year and up 14.1% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 20.1% for the first nine months of the year. The performance of the Zegna segment reflects the strength of the Zegna branded product line, especially in the DTC channel, which more than offset the impact of the end of the distribution licensing agreement for Tom Ford International on the Third-Party brands product line4.

Thom Browne Segment: For the third quarter of 2023, revenues for the Thom Browne segment amounted to €74 million, growing by 6.3% year-over-year and 13.1% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 8.5% for the quarter. This brought revenues for the first nine months of the year to €282 million, up 10.4% year-over-year and up 13.3% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 15.7% for the first nine months of the year. The organic growth rate for Thom Browne excludes the effect of the acquisition of the retail business in South Korea, which resulted in the conversion of the South Korean business from wholesale to DTC.

Tom Ford Fashion Segment: Since April 29, 2023, which marked the beginning of the consolidation of Tom Ford International LLC into the Group’s financial statements, Tom Ford Fashion is represented as a new operating and reporting segment of the Group. The Tom Ford Fashion segment includes all activities related to TOM FORD FASHION, from collection creation and development to merchandising, through to production, as well as retail and wholesale distribution. From April 29, 2023, to September 30, 2023, the segment reported revenues of €139 million. In the third quarter of 2023, revenues totaled €75 million.

Revenues by Product Line

Zegna-Branded Products: Revenues for Zegna-branded products were €242 million for the third quarter, up 8.0% year-over-year, with constant currency and organic growth both at 12.2%. This brought revenues for Zegna-branded products during the first nine months of 2023 to €784 million, up 20.6% year-over-year, and with constant currency and organic growth both at 22.9%. The growth was driven by strong double-digit revenue performance in luxury leisurewear and in the Made-to-Measure business, while the shoes category continued to strongly outperform.

Thom Browne: Revenues for Thom Browne were €73 million for the third quarter, growing by 5.8% year-over-year and 12.6% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 8.0% for the quarter. This brought revenues for the first nine months of the year to €280 million, up 10.1% year-over-year and up 13.1% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 15.5% for the first nine months of the year. Revenues for womenswear continued to outperform at Thom Browne and represented close to 30% of total revenues for the quarter.

Textile: Textile revenues were €35 million during the third quarter of 2023, up 17.2% year-over-year and up 15.7% on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 16.1% for the quarter. This brought textile revenues to €109 million for the first nine months of the year, up 9.4% year-over-year and up 8.4% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth of 8.6% for the first nine months of the year.

Third-Party Brands4: The revenues for the Third-Party Brands product line in the third quarter of the year were €5 million, down 86.0% year-over-year and down 85.9% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, impacted by the end of the distribution licensing agreement for Tom Ford International, with an organic growth rate of -14.3%. For the first nine months of the year, revenues for the Third-Party Brands product line were €20 million, down 74.9% year-over-year and down 75.2% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with a -8.1% organic growth rate.

______________________

4 As previously disclosed, the licensing agreement for the production and worldwide distribution of luxury men’s ready-to-wear and made-to-measure clothing, footwear, and accessories under the TOM FORD brand expired with the deliveries of the Fall/Winter 2022 collection, and a supply agreement to act as the exclusive supplier for certain TOM FORD menswear products commenced starting with the Spring/Summer 2023 collection.

Revenues by Channel

DTC revenues reached €282 million in the third quarter of 2023, up 29.9% year-over-year and up 37.7% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 12.9% for the quarter. For the first nine months of the year DTC revenues reached €865 million, up 34.2% year-over-year and up 38.4% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 24.6%. DTC revenues represented 64.8% of Group revenues in the first nine months of 2023, up from 59.4% in the same period last year.

Of the €282 million DTC revenues in the third quarter, €195 million came from Zegna-branded products, where DTC revenues were up 8.3% year-over-year and up 14.0% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, and on an organic growth basis, driven by a continued improvement in store productivity. Thom Browne DTC revenues came in at €43 million, up 18.6% year-over-year and up 32.1% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 7.7% for the quarter, reflecting the shift of the South Korean business from wholesale to DTC. TOM FORD FASHION contributed €43 million in the third quarter.

Meanwhile, wholesale revenues reached €148 million in the third quarter of 2023, up 6.6% year-over-year and up 6.1% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 8.1% for the quarter. For the first nine months of the year wholesale revenues reached €466 million, up 6.4% year-over-year and up 5.7% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 9.9%. Wholesale revenues represented 34.9% of Group revenues in the first nine months of 2023, down from 40.3% in the same period of last year.

Of the €148 million wholesale revenues in the third quarter, €47 million came from Zegna-branded products, up 6.7% year-over-year and up 5.0% year-over-year on a constant currency and organic growth basis. Thom Browne wholesale revenues reflected the conversion of the South Korean points of sales from wholesale to DTC and amounted to €30 million, down 8.6% year-over-year and down 7.8% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, but with an organic growth rate of 8.3% for the quarter. The balance of wholesale revenues came from TOM FORD FASHION (€32 million) and from the Third Party Brands and Textile segments (€40 million, down 36% year-over-year and down 36.3% in constant currency, and with organic growth of 11.5%).

Revenues by Geography

During the third quarter of 2023, the Group saw double-digit organic growth across a number of key regions, including EMEA and North America, led by revenues from the U.S.

Revenues in the EMEA region reached €152 million in the third quarter of 2023, up 27.7% year-over-year and up 29.4% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 18.5% for the quarter. The double-digit growth in the region, which was seen across Europe and the Middle East for both ZEGNA and Thom Browne, was driven by DTC demand. For the first nine months of 2023, the EMEA region reached €475 million in revenues, up 25.0% year-over-year and up 25.8% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, and with an organic growth rate of 20.5%.

North America revenues reached €111 million for the quarter, up 44.2% year-over-year and up 45.0% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 12.3%. The U.S. saw revenues at €102 million for the quarter, up 47.8% year-over-year and up 48.4% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 13.7%. The growth in U.S. revenues came on the back of contributions from the newly-included Tom Ford Fashion segment as well as outstanding DTC performance for both ZEGNA and Thom Browne, both of which recorded an outstanding high double-digit revenue growth. For the first nine months of 2023, revenues in North America reached €285 million, up 34.4% year-over-year and up 32.6% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 14.9%.

In the third quarter of 2023, revenues in APAC reached €158 million for the quarter, up 3.5% year-over-year and up 11.7% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 5.4%. Revenues for the first nine months of 2023 in APAC were €547 million, up 16.0% year-over-year and up 20.9% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 20.4%.

In the APAC region, growth was remarkable in Japan, where Group revenues reached €19 million, up 31.8% year-over-year and up 44.8% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 30.9% for the quarter. The region also benefited from the conversion of 17 stores in South Korea after the acquisition of the Thom Browne business there. In the third quarter of 2023, the Greater China Region saw revenues to €112 million, a 3.4% decrease year-over-year and up 5.2% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 3.5%. Revenues for the first nine months of 2023 in the Greater China Region were €419 million, up 15.3% year-over-year and up 20.6% year-over-year on a constant currency basis, with an organic growth rate of 19.8%.

In Latin America, revenues in the third quarter of 2023 reached €8.4 million, up 19.6% year-over-year and up 9.0% year-over-year on a constant currency and on an organic growth basis. This brought revenues in Latin America for the first nine months of 2023 to €24 million, up 23.5% year-over-year and up 13.9% year-over-year on a constant currency and on an organic growth basis.

Outlook

On May 17, 2022, at its first Capital Markets Day, the Group announced its financial goals for the medium term, which management defines as the end of fiscal year 2025. Within this time frame, the Group is aiming for annual revenues to exceed €2 billion and for Adjusted EBIT Margin to reach at least 15%, excluding the Tom Ford Fashion segment. The Group’s Q3 2023 revenues confirm that the Group remains on this trajectory. The Group’s medium-term targets assume no major future worsening of the global geopolitical, health, macroeconomic and financial markets situation, and no other unforeseen events.

Capital Markets Day

The Group will host a Capital Markets Day on December 5, 2023, at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York, where it expects to announce updated medium- to long-term financial goals, including for the Tom Ford Fashion segment.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Zegna’s management monitors and evaluates operating and financial performance using several non-IFRS financial measures including: adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”), Adjusted EBIT Margin, revenues on a constant currency basis (Constant Currency) and revenues on an organic growth basis (Organic Growth). Zegna’s management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding Zegna’s financial performance and financial condition, and improve the ability of management and investors to assess and compare the financial performance and financial position of Zegna with those of other companies. They also provide comparable measures that facilitate management’s ability to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other strategic and operational decisions. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which Zegna operates, the financial measures that Zegna uses may not be comparable to other similarly named measures used by other companies nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT Margin

Adjusted EBIT is defined as profit or loss before income taxes plus financial income, financial expenses, foreign exchange losses and the result from investments accounted for using the equity method, adjusted for income and costs which are significant in nature and that management considers not reflective of underlying operating activities.

Adjusted EBIT Margin is defined as Adjusted EBIT divided by revenues of the applicable period.

Zegna’s management uses Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT Margin for internal reporting to assess performance and as part of the forecasting, budgeting and decision-making processes as they provide additional transparency regarding Zegna’s underlying operating performance. Zegna’s management believes these non-IFRS financial measures are useful because they exclude items that management believes are not indicative of Zegna’s underlying operating performance and allow management to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among segments. Zegna’s management also believes that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT Margin are useful for investors and analysts to better understand how management assesses Zegna’s underlying operating performance on a consistent basis and to compare Zegna’s performance with that of other companies. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT Margin provide useful information to third party stakeholders in understanding and evaluating Zegna’s operating results.

Revenues on a constant currency basis (Constant Currency)

In addition to presenting our revenues on a current currency basis, we also present certain revenue information on a constant currency basis (Constant Currency), which excludes the effects of foreign currency translation from our subsidiaries with functional currencies different from the Euro.

We calculate Constant Currency revenues by applying the current period average foreign currency exchange rates to translate prior period revenues of foreign subsidiaries expressed in local functional currencies different than the Euro.

We use revenues on a Constant Currency basis to analyze how our underlying revenues have changed between periods independent of the effects of foreign currency translation.

Revenues on a Constant Currency basis are not a substitute for revenues on a current currency basis or any IFRS-related measures, however we believe that revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency translation provide additional useful information to management and to investors in analyzing and evaluating our revenues and operating performance.

Revenues on an organic growth basis (Organic Growth)

In addition to presenting our revenues on a current currency basis, we also present certain revenue information on an organic growth basis (Organic Growth). Organic Growth is calculated as the change in revenues from period to period, excluding the effects of (a) foreign exchange, (b) acquisitions and disposals and (c) changes in license agreements where Zegna operates as a licensee.

In calculating Organic Growth, the following adjustments are made to revenues:

(a) Foreign exchange – Current period average foreign currency exchange rates are used to translate prior period revenues of foreign subsidiaries expressed in local functional currencies different than the Euro.

(b) Acquisitions and disposals – Revenues generated by businesses and operations acquired or disposed in the current year or prior year are excluded from both periods. Additionally, where a business or operation was a customer prior to an acquisition, the related pre-acquisition revenues are excluded from the current and prior periods.

(c) Changes in license agreements where Zegna operates as a licensee – Revenues generated from license agreements where Zegna operates as a licensee that are new or terminated in the current year or prior year are excluded from both periods (except if the effects are already included in acquisitions and disposals). Additionally, revenues generated from license agreements where Zegna operates as a licensee that experienced a structural change in the scope or perimeter in the current year or prior year are excluded from both periods, including changes to product categories, sales channels or geographies of the underlying license agreements.

We believe the presentation of Organic Growth is useful to better understand and analyze the underlying change in the Group’s revenues from period to period on a consistent perimeter and constant currency basis.

Revenues on an Organic Growth basis are not a substitute for revenues on a current currency basis or any IFRS-related measures, however we believe that revenues excluding the effects of (a) foreign exchange, (b) acquisitions and disposals and (c) changes in license agreements where Zegna operates as a licensee provide additional useful information to management and to investors in analyzing and evaluating our revenues and operating performance.

The tables below show a reconciliation of revenue growth to organic growth, excluding the effects of foreign exchange, acquisitions and disposals and changes in license agreements where Zegna operates as a licensee, by segment, by product line, by sales channel and by geography:

  • for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (9M 2023 vs 9M 2022); and
  • for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Q3 2023 vs Q3 2022).
