"I don't want to comment on Marcolin because it is an ongoing process," EssilorLuxottica CEO Francesco Milleri said. "We have been part of the discussion, we will see what happens but for us it is not strategic," added Milleri, replying to a shareholder's question during the group's annual meeting in Paris, as confirmed by a company spokesperson. EssilorLuxottica's shareholders voted in favour of a new term for Milleri and of the company's compensation policy, the spokesperson said.
Eyewear maker EssilorLuxottica posted on Thursday a 5.5% increase in revenues in the first quarter, thanks to solid growth in Europe and despite a weak North America performance and a tougher basis of comparison. Sales in North America, the group's biggest market, rose 1.7% at constant exchange rates, hit by a weak performance from the sunglasses category. "With this positive momentum, we approach the first half of the year with optimism and remain confident in our strategic vision and our ability to deliver on our long-term outlook", Francesco Milleri, EssilorLuxottica's Chairman and Chief Executive, and Paul du Saillant, Deputy CEO, said in a statement.
