Adjusted figures do not include: an extraordinary gain of approximately €21 million related to the acquisition of the 40% stake in Multiopticas Internacional; non-recurring costs related to Luxottica 50th anniversary celebrations of approximately €12 million; and non-recurring restructuring and start-up costs in the Retail Division of approximately €11.8 million.
Operating performance for the third quarter of 2011
During the third quarter of 2011, Luxottica’s growth trend continued. In a macroeconomic environment that was, as a whole, positive, the Group benefitted from a very positive and prolonged “sun” season, delivering sales and earnings growth for the eighth straight quarter. The Group achieved particularly solid performance in Emerging Markets (growing more than 35% at constant exchange rates2) and in North America during this period. Despite the significant depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, going from 1.29104 during the third quarter of 2010 to 1.4127 (-8.6%) during the same period in 2011, net sales for the third quarter of 2011 exceeded Euro 1.5 billion and net income exceeded Euro 110 million. Additionally, during the period, Luxottica’s 50th anniversary celebrations took place.
“The results achieved in the third quarter of 2011 again testify to the strong commitment, determination and passion of our entire organization in serving our customers and consumers in our key summer sales season,” commented Andrea Guerra, Chief Executive Officer of Luxottica. “Both our Wholesale and Retail Divisions showed great energy and enthusiasm: we are more and more successful in establishing true and trusted relationships with our customers, in seizing the opportunities that new technologies provide and in marketing our brands in the most effective ways.
“Growth was solid across the board, from North America — where our net sales in U.S. dollars were strong growing by 7.8% during the quarter - to India, from China to Brazil, from Italy to South East Asia and Latin America, where the retail chain GMO joined our organization.
“Ray-Ban and Oakley continued to record very positive results; among the premium and luxury brands, Burberry, Tiffany and Ralph Lauren’s positive performance should also be mentioned. In our Retail Division, Sunglass Hut continued to grow strongly, with net sales increasing by more than 15% during the quarter, while OPSM in Australia is back on a solid growth trajectory.
“Today, there are increased uncertainties generally in international markets, but we believe there are still significant opportunities for growth: in the next few years, the target market for our products could increase by more than 2 billion new consumers. We strongly believe that our profile and results provide an excellent basis for us to look with confidence to the future and to the last quarter of the year.”
During the third quarter of the year, Luxottica achieved well-balanced growth in both its Retail and Wholesale Divisions. The results recorded by the Wholesale Division were once again excellent, with strong growth in net sales exceeding Euro 550 million (+10.7% at constant exchange rates2). Emerging markets, especially China, Brazil and the Middle East, made a key contribution to our quarterly results, along with Italy, Germany and the UK.
Sunglass Hut also turned in a strong performance for the fifth consecutive quarter, benefitting from an especially positive and prolonged “sun” season and its ability to attract and create meaningful relationships with new consumers. LensCrafters was able to improve on last year’s third quarter results, which were the best over the last four years. The Australian and Chinese retail businesses also performed very well in the third quarter.
Consolidated results
In the third quarter of 2011, net sales rose by 10.0% at constant exchange rates² (+4.0% at current exchange rates) to Euro 1,523.8 million from Euro 1,464.7 million in the third quarter of 2010. During the nine-month period, net sales rose by 9.6% at constant exchange rates² to Euro 4,713.5 million, from Euro 4,451.5 million in the first nine months of 2010.
Adjusted EBITDA3,4 for the third quarter of 2011 grew over the previous year by 4.7% to Euro 276.0 million, from Euro 263.5 million in the third quarter of 2010. For the first nine months of the year, adjusted EBITDA3,4 increased to Euro 911.1 million from Euro 841.5 million posted for the same period of 2010.
Adjusted operating income3,4 for the third quarter of 2011 was Euro 197.4 million (Euro 186.4 million for the same period last year, +5.9%), while the Group’s adjusted operating margin3,4 improved from 12.7% in the third quarter of 2010 to 13.0% in the third quarter of 2011. For the first nine months of the year, the adjusted operating income3,4 amounted to Euro 681.6 million, up 10.6% over the Euro 616.0 million posted for the same period last year.
Adjusted net income3,4 for the third quarter of 2011 increased to Euro 106.1 million, up by +4.1% from Euro 101.9 million in the same period of 2010, resulting in adjusted earnings per share3,4 (EPS) of Euro 0.23 (at an average Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.4127). The adjusted EPS3,4 in U.S. dollars grew by 13.4% from U.S. $0.29 in the third quarter of 2010 to U.S. $0.33 in the third quarter of 2011.
For the third quarter of 2011, Luxottica once again generated positive free cash flow4 (Euro 200 million). Net debt4 as of September 30, 2011 amounted to Euro 2,078 million (Euro 2,111 million at the end of 2010), with a ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA3,4 of 1.8x as compared with 2.0x at the end of 2010.
Overview of performance at the Wholesale Division
During the third quarter of 2011, the Wholesale Division continued to record excellent results, both in terms of net sales and of profitability, increasing its presence in fast-growing regions and exploiting opportunities across the board. Underlying this performance is the excellent feedback received on our new collections, the ability of the organization to build and maintain strong relationships with customers, the success in promoting Luxottica’s brands by highlighting their core values and providing excellent customer service.
During the quarter, Ray-Ban and Oakley’s performance were once again exceptional and strong sales of premium and luxury brands such as Burberry, Tiffany and Ralph Lauren were also recorded. The STARS program and the Travel retail business were also very successful this quarter.
The Wholesale Division’s net sales rose to Euro 555.1 million in the third quarter of 2011, from Euro 518.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 (+10.7% at constant exchange rates2 and +7.1% at current exchange rates). In the first nine months of 2011, net sales were Euro 1,900.2 million,
up 11.9% at constant exchange rates2 from the Euro 1,722.9 million recorded for the first nine months of 2010 (+10.3% at current exchange rates).
Operating income for the Wholesale Division amounted to Euro 104.9 million in the third quarter of 2011, up 10.5% compared with the 94.9 million recorded for the third quarter of 2010. The operating margin rose from 18.3% in the third quarter of 2010 to 18.9% for the third quarter of 2011. In the first nine months of 2011, the operating margin was 23.2% (21.6% in the same period of 2010).
Overview of performance at the Retail Division
During the third quarter of 2011, the Retail Division continued to grow, with well balanced performance in all the regions where the Group operates: at constant exchange rates2, net sales for the Retail Division grew by 9.6%. The depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro did, however, affect the translation of net sales, since approximately 80% derive from sales in North America. Net sales at current exchange rates were Euro 968.7 million for the third quarter of 2011 (Euro 946.5 million in the third quarter 2010, +2.4%). During the first nine months of 2011, net sales were Euro 2,813.3 million, up 8.0% at constant exchange rates2 from Euro 2,728.6 million recorded for the first nine months of 2010 (+3.1% at current exchange rates).
In terms of comparable store sales5, the Retail Division overall grew by 4.3%. In particular, sales in the optical business in North America increased +0.4%, with LensCrafters recording a 1.4% increase in comparable store sales5.
As a result of initiatives launched in recent months, comparable store sales5 in the optical business in Australia were back on a track with solid growth of 7.0% in the third quarter of 2011 over the same period last year. The optical business in China also posted very good results, with comparable store sales5 growing by 20.9% over the same period last year.
Once again, Sunglass Hut, the Group’s sun specialty chain that operates in a number of countries, posted exceptional results with overall comparable store sales5 up 8.3% in the third quarter of 2011 and a particularly positive performance in the United States (+10.1%). Due to the exchange rate effect, adjusted operating income3,4 of the Division went from Euro 129.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 to Euro 127.4 million in the third quarter of 2011 (-1.5%). During the period, in order to further increase our commitment and service excellence provided to customers, along with allocating more resources to consumer-facing roles, LensCrafters and Pearle Vision restructured their field and store management operations in the U.S. and Canada. The adjusted operating margin3,4 declined to 13.2% in third quarter of 2011 from 13.7% in third quarter of 2010. On a nine-month basis, the adjusted operating margin3,4 was 12.6% (13.0% in the same period of 2010).

Non-IAS/IFRS Measures: Adjusted measures
In order to provide a supplemental comparison of current period results of operations to prior periods, we have adjusted for certain non-recurring transactions or events.
We have made such adjustments to the following measures: EBITDA, EBITDA margin, operating income, operating margin, net income and earnings per share.
For comparative purposes, management has adjusted each of the foregoing measures by excluding, as applicable, the following:
(a) an extraordinary gain of approximately €21 million related to the acquisition of the 40% stake in Multiopticas Internacional;
(b) non-recurring costs related to Luxottica’s 50th anniversary celebrations for approximately €12 million; and
(c) non-recurring restructuring and start-up costs in the Retail Division for approximately €11.8 million.
The Company believes that these adjusted measures are useful to both management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance compared with that of other companies in its industry because they exclude the impact of non-recurring items that are not relevant to the Company’s operating performance.
The adjusted measures referenced above are not measures of performance in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IAS/IFRS). We include these adjusted comparisons in this presentation in order to provide a supplemental view of operations that excludes items that are unusual, infrequent or unrelated to our ongoing core operations.
These adjusted measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for items appearing on our financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS/IFRS. Rather, these non-IAS/IFRS measures should be used as a supplement to IAS/IFRS results to assist the reader in better understanding the operational performance of the Company. The Company cautions that these adjusted measures are not defined terms under IAS/IFRS and their definitions should be carefully reviewed and understood by investors. Investors should be aware that Luxottica Group’s method of calculating these adjusted measures may differ from methods used by other companies.
The Company recognizes that there are limitations in the usefulness of adjusted comparisons due to the subjective nature of items excluded by management in calculating adjusted comparisons. We compensate for the foregoing limitation by using these adjusted measures as a comparative tool, together with IAS/IFRS measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance.
See the tables on the following pages for a reconciliation of the adjusted measures discussed above to their most directly comparable IAS/IFRS financial measures or, in the case of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, to EBITDA and EBITDA margin, respectively, which are also non-IAS/IFRS measures. For a discussion of EBITDA and EBITDA margin and a reconciliation of EBITDA and EBITDA margin to their most directly comparable IAS/IFRS financial measures, see the tables on the pages immediately following the reconciliation of the adjusted measures.

Non-IAS/IFRS Measure: EBITDA and EBITDA margin
EBITDA represents net income before non-controlling interest, taxes, other income/expense, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin means EBITDA divided by net sales.
The Company believes that EBITDA is useful to both management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance compared with that of other companies in its industry. Our calculation of EBITDA allows us to compare our operating results with those of other companies without giving effect to financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the overall operating performance of a company’s business.
EBITDA and EBITDA margin are not measures of performance under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IAS/IFRS).
We include them in this presentation in order to:
· improve transparency for investors;
· assist investors in their assessment of the Company’s operating performance and its ability to refinance its debt as it matures and incur additional indebtedness to invest in new business opportunities;
· assist investors in their assessment of the Company’s cost of debt;
· ensure that these measures are fully understood in light of how the Company evaluates its operating results and leverage;
· properly define the metrics used and confirm their calculation; and
· share these measures with all investors at the same time.
EBITDA and EBITDA margin are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for items appearing on our financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS/IFRS. Rather, these non-IAS/IFRS measures should be used as a supplement to IAS/IFRS results to assist the reader in better understanding the operational performance of the Company. The Company cautions that these measures are not defined terms under IAS/IFRS and their definitions should be carefully reviewed and understood by investors. Investors should be aware that Luxottica Group’s method of calculating EBITDA may differ from methods used by other companies. The Company recognizes that the usefulness of EBITDA has certain limitations, including:
· EBITDA does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate profits and cash flows. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense may have material limitations;
· EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization expense. Because we use capital assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate profits. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation and expense may have material limitations;
· EBITDA does not include provision for income taxes. Because the payment of income taxes is a necessary element of our costs, any measure that excludes tax expense may have material limitations;
· EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
· EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and
· EBITDA does not allow us to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect our net income or loss.
We compensate for the foregoing limitations by using EBITDA as a comparative tool, together with IAS/IFRS measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance and leverage.
See the table on the following page for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable IAS/IFRS financial measure, as well as the calculation of EBITDA margin on net sales.

Non-IAS/IFRS Measure: Net Debt to EBITDA ratio
Net debt to EBITDA ratio: Net debt means the sum of bank overdrafts, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, less cash. EBITDA represents net income before non-controlling interest, taxes, other income/expense, depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that EBITDA is useful to both management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance compared with that of other companies in its industry. Our calculation of EBITDA allows us to compare our operating results with those of other companies without giving effect to financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the overall operating performance of a company’s business. The ratio of net debt to EBITDA is a measure used by management to assess the Company’s level of leverage, which affects our ability to refinance our debt as it matures and incur additional indebtedness to invest in new business opportunities. The ratio also allows management to assess the cost of existing debt since it affects the interest rates charged by the Company’s lenders.
EBITDA and ratio of net debt to EBITDA are not measures of performance under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IAS/IFRS).
We include them in this presentation in order to:
· improve transparency for investors;
· assist investors in their assessment of the Company’s operating performance and its ability to refinance its debt as it matures and incur additional indebtedness to invest in new business opportunities;
· assist investors in their assessment of the Company’s cost of debt;
· ensure that these measures are fully understood in light of how the Company evaluates its operating results and leverage;
· properly define the metrics used and confirm their calculation; and
· share these measures with all investors at the same time.
EBITDA and ratio of net debt to EBITDA are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for items appearing on our financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS/IFRS. Rather, these non-IAS/IFRS measures should be used as a supplement to IAS/IFRS results to assist the reader in better understanding the operational performance of the Company. The Company cautions that these measures are not defined terms under IAS/IFRS and their definitions should be carefully reviewed and understood by investors. Investors should be aware that Luxottica Group’s method of calculating EBITDA and the ratio of net debt to EBITDA may differ from methods used by other companies. The Company recognizes that the usefulness of EBITDA and the ratio of net debt to EBITDA as evaluative tools may have certain limitations, including:
· EBITDA does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate profits and cash flows. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense may have material limitations;
· EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization expense. Because we use capital assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate profits. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation and expense may have material limitations;
· EBITDA does not include provision for income taxes. Because the payment of income taxes is a necessary element of our costs, any measure that excludes tax expense may have material limitations;
· EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
· EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
· EBITDA does not allow us to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect our net income or loss; and
· The ratio of net debt to EBITDA is net of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments, thereby reducing our debt position.
Because we may not be able to use our cash to reduce our debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis, this measure may have material limitations. We compensate for the foregoing limitations by using EBITDA and the ratio of net debt to EBITDA as two of several comparative tools, together with IAS/IFRS measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance and leverage.
See the table on the following page for a reconciliation of net debt to long-term debt, which is the most directly comparable IAS/IFRS financial measure, as well as the calculation of the ratio of net debt to EBITDA. For a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable IAS/IFRS financial measure, see the table on the preceding pages.

Non-IAS/IFRS Measures: Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow net represents net income before non-controlling interest, taxes, other income/expense, depreciation and amortization (i.e. EBITDA — see table on the earlier page) plus or minus the decrease/(increase) in working capital over the prior period, less capital expenditures, plus or minus interest income/(expense) and extraordinary items, minus taxes paid. The Company believes that free cash flow is useful to both management and investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance compared with other companies in its industry. In particular, our calculation of free cash flow provides a clearer picture of the Company’s ability to generate net cash from operations, which is used for mandatory debt service requirements, to fund discretionary investments, pay dividends or pursue other strategic opportunities.
Free cash flow is not a measure of performance under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IAS/IFRS).
We include it in this presentation in order to:
· Improve transparency for investors;
· Assist investors in their assessment of the Company’s operating performance and its ability to generate cash from operations in excess of its cash expenses;
· Ensure that this measure is fully understood in light of how the Company evaluates its operating results;
· Properly define the metrics used and confirm their calculation; and
· Share this measure with all investors at the same time.
Free cash flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for items appearing on our financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS/IFRS. Rather, this non-IAS/IFRS measure should be used as a supplement to IAS/IFRS results to assist the reader in better understanding the operational performance of the Company. The Company cautions that this measure is not a defined term under IAS/IFRS and its definition should be carefully reviewed and understood by investors. Investors should be aware that Luxottica Group’s method of calculation of free cash flow may differ from methods used by other companies. The Company recognizes that the usefulness of free cash flow as an evaluative tool may have certain limitations, including:
· The manner in which the Company calculates free cash flow may differ from that of other companies, which limits its usefulness as a comparative measure;
· Free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in the net debt balance for the period since it excludes, among other things, cash used for funding discretionary investments and to pursue strategic opportunities during the period and any impact of the exchange rate changes; and
· Free cash flow can be subject to adjustment at the Company’s discretion if the Company takes steps or adopts policies that increase or diminish its current liabilities and/or changes to working capital.
We compensate for the foregoing limitations by using free cash flow as one of several comparative tools, together with IAS/IFRS measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance.
See the table on the following page for a reconciliation of free cash flow to EBITDA and the table on the earlier page for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable IAS/IFRS financial measure.
