Kering revenue holds steady as Gucci sales continue to fall

French luxury group Kering reported third-quarter revenue of 3.345 billion, stable overall but down 1% on a comparable basis.

Gucci brought in 1.291 billion, with revenue down 4% and down 6% on a comparable basis.

Other brands, including Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta and Brioni, performed in line with expectations.

Kering said it has removed 100 stores and plans to close 125 stores this year.

Reviving Gucci remains Kering's top priority, as the group says it needs to restore the brand's momentum to reach its full potential.

CEO Luca de Meo said the recovery will take several seasons, while Kering continues to strengthen the brand and develop products.
