MILAN (Reuters) - Revenues at eyewear maker EssilorLuxottica rose 5.2% at constant exchange rates in the second quarter, supported by the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, while growth in North America was slower.

Group revenues reached 13.29 billion euros ($14.43 billion) in the six months ending in June, just below an analyst consensus forecast of 13.34 billion euros provided by LSEG.

First-half adjusted operating profit rose 8.5% to 2.43 billion euros, bringing the margin to 18.8% at constant exchange rate from 18.3%.

"In the first half of the year, EssilorLuxottica's strategy continued to pay off with all regions and businesses contributing to positive results," said Francesco Milleri, Chairman and CEO, and Paul du Saillant, Deputy CEO at EssilorLuxottica.

The group confirmed its long term outlook.
