“Our first priority in recent months has been to protect our people and our communities, and to support our partners and customers during the COVID-19 pandemic. While living up to our responsibility as an industry leader, we also proved the strength of our business model by managing to break even in the first half with positive operating income1 and critical cash flow generation. We want to thank our 150,000 employees worldwide, our management, the Board of Directors and all our shareholders for the support and sacrifices they made along the way. Everyone did their part and contributed to these achievements.

We will continue to play an important role in the industry’s recovery by making our capabilities, technologies and resources available to everyone in the market without distinction, in line with our mission. Our ability to strengthen our relationships with customers in recent months, standing by their side in the toughest of times, will make us stronger to face any future change and opportunity in the industry.

Given the resilience of vision needs, we are cautiously optimistic about the remainder of the year and will be watching the evolution of the virus closely, ready to adapt wherever needed. At the same time, we are increasing the pace of our integration, accelerating our digitalisation and launching major product innovations that will drive the industry forward”, commented Francesco Milleri, CEO and Deputy Chairman of Luxottica, and Paul du Saillant, CEO of Essilor.
