Full year to Dec 2025

Reported 2026-05-19

Revenue$19.3bn+3.0%

Operating profit$4.7bn+5.2%

Net income$2.9bn−14.3%

Chanel Limited's 2025 results — the group's first full year under new Artistic Director of Fashion Activities Matthieu Blazy — showed revenue up 3.0% as reported to $19.3bn, a slower 1.8% on a comparable, constant-currency basis. Operating profit rose 5.2% to $4.7bn, but a jump in the effective tax rate (27.7% to 33.5%) pulled profit after tax down 14.3% to $2.9bn; free cash flow rose 44%. The private house doesn't break out Japan, folding it into an Asia Pacific region that slipped slightly (-0.6% reported, -0.8% comparable) even as it kept investing there — completing a store project in Fukuoka and staging a High Jewellery collection launch in Kyoto.
