François-Henri Pinault, Kering's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are pleased with the performances we have delivered in the first half of 2016. Overall growth in our Luxury activities in the second quarter significantly outpaced the level reached in the first three months of the year. Gucci's creative momentum and ambitious strategy, launched last year, are delivering tangible results: sales growth is accelerating in the second quarter on top of tough comps; recurring operating income is up 7% in the first half. As anticipated, our Sport & Lifestyle activities resumed operating growth, thanks to healthy revenue trends. Our cash flow generation is up sharply – it was one of the top priorities we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year. We owe these achievements to our integrated, effective multibrand model, and to well-designed, well-executed strategic action plans. In an environment that remains uncertain, we intend to carry out the steadfast implementation of our strategy and maintain a strict operating and financial discipline; together with the commitment of all our teams, this reinforces our confidence that we will progress along the current growth path.”
