Growth in the DTC Channel Across All Brands Drives Ermenegildo Zegna Group H1 2025 Revenues to €928 Million 1
MILAN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ermenegildo Zegna N.V. (NYSE:ZGN) (the 'Company' and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the 'Ermenegildo Zegna Group' or the 'Group') today announced unaudited revenues of €927.7 million in H1 2025, -3.4% YoY from €960.1 million in H1 2024 (-2.0% organic). In the second quarter, revenues reached €468.9 million, -5.7% YoY (-2.6% organic). YoY performance at reported currencies in Q2 2025 was notably affected by the appreciation of the Euro against key currencies such as the US dollar, the Renminbi, and other currencies linked to the US dollar. The organic results included herein are calculated at constant exchange rates, therefore excluding the effect of such significant currency fluctuations and offering a more accurate reflection of the underlying business trend. Ermenegildo 'Gildo' Zegna, Chairman and CEO of the Ermenegildo Zegna Group, commented: 'The strong organic DTC channel performance of +8% in Q2 2025 for the Group demonstrates our strategic initiatives and actions taken are yielding results, even though the sector navigates a continuously challenging environment. ZEGNA and Thom Browne each grew by +7% in the DTC channel while TOM FORD FASHION increased by +11%. In terms of regions, the Americas and the Middle East continued to sustain robust momentum. The recent months were also marked by several pivotal milestones for the Group and our brands, starting with our first ZEGNA fashion show outside Milan in June, along with Villa Zegna Dubai. Looking at Thom Browne, I welcome Sam Lobban as the brand's new CEO. With his extensive background in merchandising and customer-first mindset, Sam is exceptionally well-suited to lead this brand in capturing its unexpressed potential. Moreover, I am pleased that Temasek has chosen to invest in our Group, recognizing the strength of our vision and our Group's long-term growth potential. With Temasek by our side, I am even more confident in our ability to realize our ambitions.' 1 Throughout this press release, revenues for the first half and for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. 2 Revenues on an organic growth basis (organic or organic growth) and on a constant currency basis (constant currency), are non-IFRS financial measures. Constant currency growth is calculated excluding foreign exchange. Organic growth is calculated excluding (a) foreign exchange, (b) acquisitions & disposals, and (c) changes in license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee. See the non-IFRS financial measures section starting on page [8] of this press release for the definition and reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures. 3 Direct-to-Consumer Expand Revenues Analysis for the Six and Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Intersegment eliminations include revenues from products that the Textile and Other lines (included in the Zegna segment) sell to the Group's brands. Zegna segment In H1 2025, revenues for the Zegna segment – which includes the ZEGNA brand, textile, and other (revenues mainly relating to third party brands) – amounted to €660.3 million, compared to €660.5 million in H1 2024, flat YoY (+1.6% organic). Revenues in Q2 2025 were €327.0 million, -2.6% YoY (+1.0% organic), reflecting the positive organic performance of the ZEGNA brand and the negative performance of the Textile division. ZEGNA brand revenues were €570.4 million in H1 2025, compared to €566.1 million in H1 2024, +0.8% YoY (+2.6% organic). Revenues in Q2 2025 were €277.5 million, -2.0% YoY (+2.2% organic), driven by solid growth in the DTC channel, in particular in the Americas, where performance sequentially accelerated compared to Q1 2025. EMEA also reported solid double-digit organic growth, with the Middle East outperforming within the region. Textile revenues were €67.1 million in H1 2025, compared to €71.8 million in H1 2024, -6.6% YoY (-6.3% organic), largely reflecting declining orders from brands outside the Group. The textile revenue trend improved slightly in Q2 2025, with revenues -3.8% YoY and organic. Other revenues, which mainly include revenues from the sale of finished product to third-party brands 4, were €8.4 million in H1, compared to €7.0 million in H1 2024, +19.2% YoY (+19.3% organic). Thom Browne segment In H1 2025, revenues for the Thom Browne segment amounted to €129.5 million, compared to €166.9 million in H1 2024, -22.4% YoY (-21.6% organic). Revenues in Q2 2025 were €65.1 million, -25.9% YoY (-23.9% organic). The trend in the second quarter was significantly affected by the performance of the wholesale channel, which more than offset the growth recorded in the DTC channel. Since 2024, the brand has been streamlining its presence in the wholesale channel to focus on direct distribution. Thom Browne brand results were substantially aligned to those of the segment, with H1 2025 revenues at €129.2 million, compared to €166.7 million in H1 2024, -22.5% YoY (-21.7% organic). Tom Ford Fashion segment In H1 2025, revenues for the Tom Ford Fashion segment - which are aligned to the TOM FORD FASHION brand - amounted to €152.7 million, compared to €148.5 million in H1 2024, +2.8% YoY (+3.8% organic). Revenues in Q2 2025 were €85.2 million, +2.1% YoY (+4.1% organic), driven by solid double-digit organic growth in the DTC channel.

Expand DTC Revenues Analysis In H1 2025, Group DTC revenues were €698.0 million, representing 82% of the Group's branded product revenues, compared to €669.6 million in H1 2024, +4.2% YoY (+6.1% organic). DTC revenues reached €352.9 million in Q2 2025, compared to €341.6 million in Q2 2024, +3.3% YoY (+7.5% organic). ZEGNA DTC revenues were €504.5 million in H1 2025, compared to €486.6 million in H1 2024, +3.7% YoY (+5.6% organic). In Q2 2025, the brand's DTC revenues were €253.7 million, +2.7% YoY (+7.1% organic), driven by the Americas with strong double-digit growth, which sequentially accelerated compared to Q1 2025, followed by solid double-digit growth in EMEA, in particular in the Middle East. Performance in the DTC channel in the Greater China Region (GCR) in Q2 2025 remained negative and broadly in line with Q1 2025. On June 30, 2025, ZEGNA counted 286 Directly Operated Stores (DOS), with three net openings in Q2 2025, including an additional store in Dubai Mall (Level Shoes) and in Porto Cervo, Italy. Thom Browne DTC revenues were €92.6 million in H1 2025, +3.0% YoY (+5.0% organic). In Q2 2025, the brand's DTC revenues were €46.4 million, +2.4% YoY (+6.6% organic), driven by performance in the Americas, where the brand opened some important stores during the quarter. On June 30, Thom Browne's DTC network reached 120 DOS, with three net openings in Q2, including Los Angeles Melrose, New York Madison and Tokyo Ginza. TOM FORD FASHION DTC revenues were €100.9 million in H1 2025, up 8.4% YoY (+9.9% organic). In Q2 2025, the brand's DTC revenues were €52.8 million, +7.1% YoY (+10.7% organic), with all regions showing positive organic performance and EMEA delivering the strongest results. On June 30, 2025, TOM FORD FASHION had 66 DOS, with one net opening in the second quarter in Hong Kong Pacific Place. Wholesale Branded Revenues Analysis In H1 2025, Group wholesale branded revenues were €154.2 million, compared to €211.7 million in H1 2024, -27.1% YoY (-26.5% organic). In Q2 2025, wholesale branded revenues came in at €74.8 million, compared to €112.6 million in Q2 2024, -33.6% YoY (-32.5% organic). ZEGNA wholesale revenues were €65.9 million in H1 2025, -17.1% YoY (-15.4% organic). In Q2 2025, the brand reported wholesale revenues of €23.8 million, -34.4% YoY (-31.1% organic). In line with management's strategy, the negative wholesale performance in H1 includes the impact of some store conversions into retail concessions in H2 2024, and tighter control over iconic products. Q2 2025 performance also reflects a shift in delivery timing. Thom Browne wholesale revenues were €36.5 million in H1, -52.4% YoY and organic. In Q2 2025, the brand's revenues in the wholesale channel were €18.6 million, -56.0% YoY (-55.8% organic), reflecting the previously announced strategy to streamline the brand's wholesale presence to focus on the DTC channel. TOM FORD FASHION wholesale revenues were €51.8 million in H1, -6.5% YoY (-6.3% organic). In Q2 2025, the brand's wholesale revenues reached €32.4 million, -5.0% YoY (-5.3% organic), mainly driven by some previous conversions of stores into retail concessions. In H1 2025, Group revenues in EMEA were €328.9 million, -2.3% YoY (-1.9% organic), representing 35% of the Group's revenues. In Q2 2025, EMEA revenues were €174.8 million, -2.9% YoY (-1.9% organic), impacted by the negative results in the wholesale channel at the three brands, notwithstanding the solid DTC positive performance, largely at ZEGNA and TOM FORD FASHION. H1 2025 revenues in the Americas were €262.7 million, +6.8% YoY (+9.3% organic), representing 28% of the Group's revenues. In Q2 2025, revenues in the Americas were €137.7 million, +4.5% YoY (+9.8% organic), driven by the strong performance of the ZEGNA and Thom Browne DTC channel. H1 2025 revenues in the GCR were €223.1 million, -16.2% YoY (-14.7% organic), representing 24% of the Group's revenues. In Q2 2025, GCR revenues were at €99.8 million, -21.3% YoY (-17.1% organic), still impacted by a subdued consumer environment in the region. The slight sequential deterioration in organic terms compared to the first quarter is linked to the performance of the wholesale channel, in particular at Thom Browne. H1 2025 revenues in the Rest of APAC were €111.5 million, +1.4% YoY (+3.4% organic), representing 12% of the Group's revenues. In Q2 2025, revenues in the region were €55.7 million, -3.3% YoY (-1.0% organic). Performance in Q2 was impacted by the demanding base of comparison in Japan for the whole sector and a more subdued consumer confidence in Korea.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures The Group's management monitors and evaluates operating and financial performance using several non-IFRS financial measures including: revenues on a constant currency basis (Constant Currency) and revenues on an organic growth basis (organic or organic growth). The Group's management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding the Group's financial performance and financial condition, and improve the ability of management and investors to assess and compare the financial performance and financial position of the Group with those of other companies. They also provide comparable measures that facilitate management's ability to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other strategic and operational decisions. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which the Group operates, the financial measures that the Group uses may not be comparable to other similarly named measures used by other companies nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. A definition, explanation of relevance and a reconciliation of each non-IFRS financial measure to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards are set out below. Revenues on a constant currency basis (Constant Currency) In addition to presenting our revenues on a current currency basis, we also present certain revenue information on a constant currency basis (Constant Currency), which excludes the effects of foreign currency translation from our subsidiaries with functional currencies different from the Euro. We calculate Constant Currency revenues by applying the current period average foreign currency exchange rates to translate prior period revenues of foreign subsidiaries expressed in local functional currencies different than the Euro. We use revenues on a Constant Currency basis to analyze how our underlying revenues have changed between periods independent of the effects of foreign currency translation. Revenues on a Constant Currency basis are not a substitute for revenues on a current currency basis or any IFRS-related measures, however we believe that revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency translation provide additional useful information to management and to investors in analyzing and evaluating our revenues and operating performance. Revenues on an organic growth basis (organic or organic growth) In addition to presenting our revenues on a current currency basis, we also present certain revenue information on an organic growth basis (organic or organic growth). Organic growth is calculated as the change in revenues from period to period, excluding the effects of (a) foreign exchange, (b) acquisitions and disposals and (c) changes in license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee. In calculating organic performance, the following adjustments are made to revenues: Foreign exchange – Current period average foreign currency exchange rates are used to translate prior period revenues of foreign subsidiaries expressed in local functional currencies different than the Euro. Acquisitions and disposals – Revenues generated by businesses and operations acquired in the current year are excluded. Revenues generated by businesses and operations acquired in the prior year are excluded from the current year for the same period that corresponds to the pre-acquisition period in the prior year. Additionally, where a business or operation was a customer prior to an acquisition, the related pre-acquisition revenues are excluded from the current and prior periods. Revenues generated by businesses and operations disposed of in the current year or prior year are excluded from both periods as applicable. Changes in license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee – Revenues generated from license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee that are new or terminated in the current year or prior year are excluded from both periods (except if the effects are already included in acquisitions and disposals). Additionally, revenues generated from license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee that experienced a structural change in the scope or perimeter in the current year or prior year are excluded from both periods, including changes to product categories, distribution channels or geographies of the underlying license agreements. We believe the presentation of revenues on an organic basis is useful to better understand and analyze the underlying change in the Group's revenues from period to period on a consistent perimeter and constant currency basis. Revenues on an organic basis are not a substitute for revenues on a current currency basis or any IFRS-related measures, however we believe that revenues excluding the effects of (a) foreign exchange, (b) acquisitions and disposals and (c) changes in license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee provide additional useful information to management and to investors in analyzing and evaluating our revenues and operating performance. The tables below show a reconciliation of reported revenue performance to Constant Currency, excluding the effects of foreign exchange, and to organic performance, which excludes also acquisitions and disposals and changes in license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee, by segment, by brand and product line, by distribution channel and by geographic area for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 (H1 2025 vs H1 2024) and for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Q2 2025 vs Q2 2024).

Temasek to increase stake in Italy's Ermenegildo Zegna to 10%
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox The Italian luxury fashion house is targetting a global expansion in the resilient ultra-luxury market. SINGAPORE - Singapore's state investment firm Temasek will increase its stake in Ermenegildo Zegna Group to 10 per cent, the companies said on July 29, as the Italian luxury fashion house targets a global expansion in the resilient ultra-luxury market. Temasek is exploring investment opportunities in Europe, where volatility resulting from US President Donald Trump's global trade war has made some companies more attractive on valuation grounds. One person familiar with the transaction told Reuters that Temasek saw 'fertile ground' in Zegna, which is increasingly open to international investors. Under the deal expected to close by July 30, Temasek will purchase 14.1 million Zegna treasury shares at US$8.95 each for US$126.4 million (S$162.8 million), the companies said in a statement. Added to the 12.7 million shares it previously acquired on the open market, that brings Temasek's total stake to 10 per cent. 'With Temasek's partnership, we are even better positioned to help strengthen our organic expansion globally,' Zegna chairman and chief executive officer Ermenegildo 'Gildo' Zegna said. 'One thing is certain: the company is not for sale, the family is still at the helm and this is not going to change,' he said. Top-tier luxury consumers, those spending over 50,000 euros (S$74,000) annually, continue to spend despite global economic uncertainty. Though less than 1 per cent of the market, they account for 23 per cent of industry value, according to a report from the Boston Consulting Group. Their spending has remained steady even as aspirational buyers pull back. Nagi Hamiyeh, Temasek's head of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, is expected to join Zegna's board as a non-executive director at Zegna's next annual general meeting in June 2026. He said in a statement that the company looks 'forward to being a thoughtful, long-term partner to the Zegna family and management team.' Proceeds from the transaction will be used to strengthen Zegna's balance sheet and support expansion into new markets, particularly in Asia, where Temasek's regional expertise is expected to play an important role, the statement read. Zegna is looking to accelerate its transformation into a high-end leisurewear brand from a family-run menswear company, which was founded in 1910 as a humble woolen mill. The Italian company acquired Tom Ford International in 2023 in a push for global growth. Zegna sales rose 2.2 per cent in 2024 to about 1.95 billion euros. Temasek's net portfolio value reached $434 billion as of March 31, up $45 billion from the year before, thanks in large part to higher share prices at some of its Singapore holdings as well as assets in the United States, India and China. The firm reported divestments worth $42 billion for its last fiscal year – its largest annual disposal on record. REUTERS, BLOOMBERG

Temasek to buy 5% stake in Ermenegildo Zegna
[SINGAPORE] Temasek has signed a share-purchase agreement with Ermenegildo Zegna to purchase a 5 per cent stake in the Italian luxury group at US$8.90 a share, for a total of US$126.4 million on Tuesday (Jul 29). The shares will come from Temasek's treasury shares, and, combined with its share purchases on the open market, will bring the Singapore investment company's stake to 10 per cent after the transaction is completed on Jul 30. The cash consideration will add to Ermenegildo Zegna's balance sheet and enable the company to seize selected opportunities for organic growth of its brand portfolio. Ermenegildo 'Gildo' Zegna, chairman and chief executive officer of the group, said: 'This investment is a strong endorsement of our vision and long-term growth potential, while firmly recognising the global significance of the Italian luxury sector.' Nagi Hamiyeh, head of Europe, Middle East and Africa for Temasek, is expected to join Ermenegildo Zegna's board of directors in June 2026. The company's customer base comprises high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) who have been more resilient in their spending. A BCG report noted that this segment spends more than 50,000 euros (S$74,380) a year on luxury brands; the wealthiest top-tier clients comprise just 1 per cent of the personal luxury goods market, but generate 22 per cent of the value. Aspiration consumers, which make up 60 per cent of the market, have faltered in recent years, but the big spenders have consistently grown their expenditure. The segment is set to grow from about 940,000 HNWIs, holding about 68 trillion euros in wealth in 2024, to about 1.4 million HNWIs in 2030, with about 100 trillion euros in wealth. This group is also growing in confidence. Half of them say they expect to increase spending by between 5 and 25 per cent over the next 18 months. Temasek will bring its experience in the luxury sector and knowledge of the Asian market to Ermenegildo Zegna under this deal. The investor will also support expansion in key geographies where the company's presence is underdeveloped. Hamiyeh added: 'Our investment in them underscores our ongoing commitment to support leading European businesses with strong track records and global potential.'
