ITEM 1. MANAGEMENT REPORT ON THE INTERIM
FINANCIAL RESULTS AS OF MARCH 31, 2013
(UNAUDITED)

        The following discussion should be read in connection with the disclosure contained in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012, which includes a study about risks and uncertainties that can influence the Group's operational results or financial position.

1.     OPERATING PERFORMANCE FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2013

        During the course of the first quarter of 2013, the Group's growth trend continued. The Group achieved positive growth both in net sales and net income. The results confirm the continuing and strong growth in net sales and profits, particularly in the emerging markets (+17.0 percent at constant exchange rates(1)).

        Net sales for the quarter were Euro 1,864.1 million, and increased by 4.2 percent (+5.6 percent at constant exchange rates(1)), from Euro 1,788.2 million in the same period of 2012. Net income attributable to Luxottica Stockholders increased by 23.5 percent to Euro 159.2 million from Euro 129.0 million in the same quarter of 2012.

        Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA")(2) in the first quarter of 2013 rose by 13.8 percent to Euro 365.3 million from Euro 321.0 in the same quarter of 2012. Additionally, EBITDA as of March 31, 2013, increased by 6.6 percent as compared to adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2012, that was Euro 342.6 million.

        Operating income for the first quarter of 2013 increased by 17.6 percent to Euro 274.8 million from Euro 233.6 million during the same period of the previous year. The Group's operating margin continued to grow rising from 13.1 percent in the first quarter of 2012 to 14.7 percent in the current quarter. Additionally, operating income in the first quarter of 2013 increased by 7.7 percent as compared to the adjusted operating income(3) in the first quarter of 2012, that was Euro 255.3 million.

        In the first three months of 2013, net income attributable to Luxottica Stockholders increased to Euro 159.2 million as compared to Euro 129.0 million in the same period of 2012. In the first three months of 2013, earnings per share ("EPS") was Euro 0.34 and EPS expressed in USD was 0.45 (at an average exchange rate of Euro/USD of 1.3200).

Net debt(4) as of March 31, 2013 was Euro 1,816.3 million (Euro 1,662.4 million at the end of 2012), with the ratio of net debt to EBITDA(4) of 1.3x (1.2x as of December 31, 2012).

   


(1)
We calculate constant exchange rates by applying to the current period the average exchange rates between the Euro and the relevant currencies of the various markets in which we operated during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Please refer to Attachment 1 for further details on exchange rates. Sales performance at current exchange rates was approximately +13% in the emerging markets.

2.     SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013

January

        On January 23, 2013, the Company closed the acquisition of Alain Mikli International, a French luxury and contemporary eyewear company. Net sales generated by Alain Mikli International in 2012 were approximately Euro 55.5 million. The purchase price paid in the first quarter of 2013, including the assumption of approximately Euro 15 million of Alain Mikli's debt, totaled Euro 91 million.

March

        On November 27, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Salmoiraghi & Viganò S.p.A. and Salmoiraghi & Viganò Holding S.r.l. pursuant to which Luxottica subscribed to shares as part of a capital injection, corresponding to a 36.33% equity stake in the Italian optical retailer. The transaction is valued at Euro 45 million and was completed on March 25, 2013.

        In March 2013, Standard & Poor's confirmed its long-term credit rating of BBB+ and revised its outlook on the Group from stable to positive.

3.     FINANCIAL RESULTS

        We are a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of fashion, luxury and sport eyewear, with net sales reaching Euro 7.1 billion in 2012, over 70,000 employees and a strong global presence. We operate in two industry segments: (i) manufacturing and wholesale distribution; and (ii) retail distribution. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Report as of March 31, 2013 (unaudited) for additional disclosures about our operating segments. Through our manufacturing and wholesale distribution segment, we are engaged in the design, manufacture, wholesale distribution and marketing of proprietary and designer lines of mid- to premium-priced prescription frames and sunglasses. We operate our retail distribution segment principally through our retail brands, which include, among others, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, Pearle Vision, OPSM, Laubman & Pank, Bright Eyes, Oakley "O" Stores and Vaults, David Clulow, Multiopticas and our Licensed Brands (Sears Optical and Target Optical).

        As a result of our numerous acquisitions and the subsequent expansion of our business activities in the United States through these acquisitions, our results of operations, which are reported in Euro, are susceptible to currency rate fluctuations between the Euro and the U.S. dollar. The Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate has fluctuated to an average exchange rate of Euro 1.00 = U.S. $1.3200 in the first three months of 2013 from Euro 1.00 = U.S. $1.3108 in the same period of 2012. With the acquisition of OPSM and Bright Eyes (acquired through Oakley), our results of operations have also been rendered susceptible to currency fluctuations between the Euro and the Australian dollar. Additionally, we incur part of our manufacturing costs in Chinese Yuan; therefore, the fluctuation of the Chinese Yuan relative to other currencies in which we receive revenues could impact the demand of our products or the profitability in consolidation. Although we engage in certain foreign currency hedging activities to mitigate the impact of these fluctuations, they have impacted our reported revenues and expenses during the periods discussed herein. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the risk factor discussion in Section 8 of the Management Report included with the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements.

        In the first three months of 2013, the Group did not incur any non-recurring expense or gain, while in the first three months of 2012 the Group recognized a non-recurring expense of Euro 21.7 million related to the restructuring of the Australian retail business (Euro 15.2 million, net of taxes).

        Net Sales.    Net sales increased by Euro 75.9 million, or 4.2 percent, to Euro 1,864.1 million in the first three months of 2013 from Euro 1,788.2 million in the same period of 2012. Euro 54.2 million of such increase was attributable to the increased sales in the manufacturing and wholesale distribution segment in the first three months of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 and to increased sales in the retail distribution segment of Euro 21.7 million for the same period.

        Net sales for the retail distribution segment increased by Euro 21.7 million, or 2.0 percent, to Euro 1,083.1 million in the first three months of 2013 from Euro 1,061.4 million in the same period in 2012. The increase in net sales for the period was partially attributable to a 3.7 percent improvement in comparable store sales(5). In particular, we saw a 2.8 percent increase in comparable store sales for the North American retail operations, and an increase for the Australian/New Zealand retail operations of

Comparable store sales reflects the change in sales from one period to another that, for comparison purposes, includes in the calculation only stores open in the more recent period that also were open during the comparable prior period in the same geographic area, and applies to both periods the average exchange rate for the prior period.

9.6 percent. The effects from currency fluctuations between the Euro (which is our reporting currency) and other currencies in which we conduct business, in particular the weakening of the U.S. dollar and Australian dollar compared to the Euro, decreased net sales in the retail distribution segment by Euro (10.8) million during the period.

        Net sales to third parties in the manufacturing and wholesale distribution segment increased by Euro 54.2 million, or 7.5 percent, to Euro 781.0 million in the first three months of 2013 from Euro 726.8 million in the same period in 2012. This increase was mainly attributable to increased sales of most of our proprietary brands, in particular Ray-Ban, Oakley, which recorded high growth in optical, and of some licensed brands such as Miu Miu and Tiffany. Almost all business markets in which the Group operates recorded an increase in net sales. These positive effects were partially offset by negative currency fluctuations, in particular the weakening of the U.S. dollar and other currencies including but not limited to the Brazilian Real and the Japanese Yen, despite the strengthening of the Chinese Renminbi, the net effect of which was to decrease net sales to third parties in the manufacturing and wholesale distribution segment by Euro (13.4) million.

        In the first three months of 2013, net sales in the retail distribution segment accounted for approximately 58.1 percent of total net sales, as compared to approximately 59.4 percent of total net sales for the same period in 2012.

        In the first three months of 2013, net sales in our retail distribution segment in the United States and Canada comprised 78.1 percent of our total net sales in this segment as compared to 78.5 percent of our total net sales in the same period of 2012. In U.S. dollars, retail net sales in the United States and Canada increased by 2.3 percent to U.S. $1,116.9 million in the first three months of 2013 from U.S. $1,092.2 million for the same period in 2012, due to sales volume increases. During the first three months of 2013, net sales in the retail distribution segment in the rest of the world (excluding the United States and Canada) comprised 21.9 percent of our total net sales in the retail distribution segment and increased by 3.9 percent to Euro 236.9 million in the first three months of 2013 from Euro 228.2 million, or 21.5 percent of our total net sales in the retail distribution segment for the same period in 2012, primarily due to sales from stores acquired by the Company in the third quarter of 2012 and in the first quarter of 2013 of approximately Euro 7.2 million

        In the first three months of 2013, net sales to third parties in our manufacturing and wholesale distribution segment in Europe were Euro 334.6 million, comprising 42.8 percent of our total net sales in this segment, compared to Euro 329.0 million, or 45.3 percent of total net sales in the segment, for the same period in 2012. Net sales to third parties in our manufacturing and wholesale distribution segment in the United States and Canada were U.S. $270.1 million and comprised 26.2 percent of our total net sales in this segment for the first three months of 2013, compared to U.S. $247.2 million, or 25.9 percent of total net sales in the segment, for the same period of 2012. The increase in net sales in the United States and Canada was primarily due to a general increase in consumer demand. In the first three months of 2013, net sales to third parties in our manufacturing and wholesale distribution segment in the rest of the world were Euro 241.8 million, comprising 31.0 percent of our total net sales in this segment, compared to Euro 209.2 million, or 28.8 percent of our net sales in this segment, in the same period of 2012. The increase of Euro 32.6 million, or 15.6 percent, in the first three months of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012, was due to an increase in consumer demand.

        Cost of Sales.    Cost of sales increased by Euro 23.1 million, or 3.7 percent, to Euro 645.7 million in the first three months of 2013 from Euro 622.6 million in the same period of 2012, including the non-recurring expense of Euro 1.4 million related to the reorganization of the Retail business in Australia. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 34.6 percent in the first three months of 2013 as compared to 34.8 percent in the same period of 2012 due to efficiencies achieved in the production cycle. In the first three months of 2013, the average number of frames produced daily in our facilities increased to approximately 302,700 as compared to approximately 262,600 in the same period of 2012, which was

attributable to increased production in all manufacturing facilities in response to an overall increase in demand.

        Gross Profit.    Our gross profit increased by Euro 52.8 million, or 4.5 percent, to Euro 1,218.4 million in the first three months of 2013 from Euro 1,165.6 million for the same period of 2012, including Euro 1.4 million related to the reorganization of the Retail business in Australia. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 65.4 percent in the first three months of 2013 as compared to 65.2 percent for the same period of 2012, due to the factors noted above.

        Operating Expenses.    Total operating expenses increased by Euro 11.6 million, or 1.2 percent, to Euro 943.6 million in the first three months of 2013 from Euro 932.0 million in the same period of 2012, including Euro 20.3 million related to the reorganization of the Retail business in Australia. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to 50.6 percent in the first three months of 2013, from 52.1 percent in the same period of 2012.

        Adjusted operating expenses(6) in the first quarter of 2012, excluding the non-recurring expenses related to the reorganization of the Retail business in Australia amounting to approximately Euro 20.3 million, amounted to Euro 911.7 million. As a percentage of net sales, adjusted operating expenses were at 51.0 percent.

        Depreciation and amortization were Euro 90.5 million in the first three months of 2013 as compared to Euro 87.4 million in the same period of 2012.

        Cash used in accounts receivable was Euro 215.6 million in the first three months of 2013, compared to Euro 122.2 million in the same period of 2012. This change was primarily due to an increase in sales volume in the first three months of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012. Cash used in inventory was Euro 9.8 million in the first three months of 2013 as compared to Euro 6.8 million in the same period of 2012. The change in inventory in the first three months of 2013 is due to an increase in wholesale division inventories as a result of implementing SAP in our Italian manufacturing facilities at the beginning of 2013. Cash used in accounts payable was Euro 48.4 million in the first three months of 2013 compared to Euro 85.0 million in the same period of 2012.

Cash used to fund other assets and liabilities was Euro 29.8 million and 6.6 million in the first three months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. This change is mainly due to advance payments made to certain designers for future contracted minimum royalties in the first quarter of 2013. Income taxes paid were Euro 14.2 million in the first three months of 2013 as compared to Euro 12.6 million in the same period of 2012.

Table of Contents

        In the first three months of 2013, non-current assets increased by Euro 258.5 million, due to increases in intangible assets (including goodwill) of Euro 194.9 million, investments of Euro 45.5 million, other assets of Euro 16.8 million, property, plant and equipment of Euro 8.3 million and partially offset by decreases in deferred tax assets of Euro 7.0 million.

        The increase in intangible assets was due to the positive effects of foreign currency fluctuations from December 2012 to March 2013 of Euro 111.2 million, capitalized software additions of Euro 27.0 million and Euro 78.8 million related to the acquisitions that occurred in the first three months of 2013 and partially offset by the amortization for the period of Euro 37.4 million.

        The increase in investment is due to the acquisition on March 25, 2013 of 36.33% of the share capital of Salmoiraghi and Viganò for Euro 45.0 million.

        The increase in property, plant and equipment was primarily due to positive currency fluctuation effects of Euro 24.8 million, the additions of Euro 42.6 million and Euro 4.2 million related to the acquisitions made in the first three months of 2013, and partially offset by the depreciation and the disposals for the period of Euro 53.1 million and Euro 7.0 million, respectively.

        As of March 31, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012:

4.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        Our related party transactions are neither atypical nor unusual and occur in the ordinary course of our business. Management believes that these transactions are fair to the Company.

        In relation to the acquisition of the French company, Alain Mikli International S.A.S., none of its extra-European subsidiaries are considered relevant to the applications of art. 36 and 39 of the CONSOB market regulations. However, as an internal procedure, all Alain Mikli International S.A.S. subsidiaries are required to release a quarterly representation letter that contains a self-certification of the completeness of the accounting information and the controls in place which are necessary for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

7.     2013 OUTLOOK

        The financial results reported for the first three months of 2013 lead management to an optimistic outlook for the full fiscal year primarily driven by the strong performance of the Group's brand portfolio.

8.     OTHER INFORMATION

        On January 29, 2012 the Company elected to avail itself of the options provided by Article 70, Section 8, and Article 71, Section 1-bis, of CONSOB Issuers' Regulations and, consequently, will no longer comply with the obligation to make available to the public an information memorandum in connection with transactions involving significant mergers, spin-offs, increases in capital through contributions in kind, acquisitions and disposals.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

Adjusted measures

        We use in this Management Report certain performance measures that are not in accordance with IFRS. Such non-IFRS measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for items appearing on our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Rather, these non-IFRS measures should be used as a supplement to IFRS results to assist the reader in better understanding our operational performance.

        Such measures are not defined terms under IFRS and their definitions should be carefully reviewed and understood by investors. Such non-IFRS measures are explained in detail and reconciled to their most comparable IFRS measures below.

        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: operating income and operating margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, net income and earnings per share by excluding in the first quarter of 2012 the non-recurring costs related to the reorganization of the retail business in Australia of Euro 21.7 million (Euro 15.2 million net of taxes). We have also made adjustments to selling expenses and general and administrative expenses for these items in Item 3 of the Management Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. No adjustments were made to the above measures in first quarter of 2013.

        The Group believes that these adjusted measures are useful to both management and investors in evaluating the Group'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 Group'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 (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.

        See the tables below for a reconciliation of the adjusted measures discussed above to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures or, in the case of adjusted EBITDA, to EBITDA, which is also a non-IFRS measure. For a reconciliation of EBITDA to its most directly comparable IFRS measure, see the pages following the tables below:

EBITDA and EBITDA margin

        EBITDA represents net income attributable to Luxottica Group stockholders, before non-controlling interest, provision for income taxes, other income/expense, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin means EBITDA divided by net sales. We believe that EBITDA is useful to both management and investors in evaluating our operating performance compared with that of other companies in our 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 IFRS. We include them in this Management Report in order to:

        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 IFRS. Rather, these non-IFRS measures should be used as a supplement to IFRS results to assist the reader in better understanding the operational performance of the Group.

        The Group cautions that these measures are not defined terms under IFRS and their definitions should be carefully reviewed and understood by investors.

        Investors should be aware that our method of calculating EBITDA may differ from methods used by other companies. We recognize that the usefulness of EBITDA has certain limitations, including:

        We compensate for the foregoing limitations by using EBITDA as a comparative tool, together with IFRS measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance and leverage. The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, as well as the calculation of EBITDA margin on net sales:

Free Cash Flow

        Free cash flow represents net income before non controlling interests, taxes, other income/expense, depreciation and amortization (i.e., EBITDA) plus or minus the decrease/(increase) in working capital over the period, less capital expenditures, plus or minus interest income/(expense) and extraordinary items, minus taxes paid. We believe that free cash flow is useful to both management and investors in evaluating our operating performance compared with other companies in our industry. In particular, our calculation of free cash flow provides a clearer picture of our 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 IFRS. We include it in this Management Report in order to:

        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 IFRS. Rather, this non-IFRS measure should be used as

        Net debt represents the sum of bank overdrafts, the 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 Group believes that EBITDA is useful to both management and investors in evaluating the Group'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 Group'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.

Table of Contents

        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 (IFRS).

        We include them in this Management Report in order to:

        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 IFRS. Rather, these non-IFRS measures should be used as a supplement to IFRS results to assist the reader in better understanding the operational performance of the Group.

        The Group cautions that these measures are not defined terms under 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 Group recognizes that the usefulness of EBITDA and the ratio of net debt to EBITDA as evaluative tools may have certain limitations, including:

        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 IFRS measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance and leverage.

        See the table below for a reconciliation of net debt to long-term debt, which is the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, as well as the calculation of the ratio of net debt to EBITDA. For a reconciliation of EBITDA to its most directly comparable IFRS measure, see the table on the earlier page.

(UNAUDITED)

1. BACKGROUND

        Luxottica Group S.p.A. (hereinafter the "Company" or together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Group") is a company listed on Borsa Italiana and the New York Stock Exchange with its registered office located at Via C. Cantù 2, Milan (Italy), organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy.

        The Company is controlled by Delfin S.à r.l., based in Luxembourg. The chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, Leonardo Del Vecchio, controls Delfin S.à r.l.

        The Company's Board of Directors, at its meeting on April 29, 2013, approved the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as the "Financial Report") for publication.

        The financial statements included in this Financial Report are unaudited.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

        This Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with article 154-ter of the Legislative Decree No. 58 of February 24, 1998 and subsequent modifications and in accordance with the CONSOB Issuers Regulation in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and endorsed by the European Union in accordance with the regulation (CE) n. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 19, 2002. Furthermore, this financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34—Interim Financial Reporting, and of the provisions which implement Article 9 of Legislative Decree no. 38/2005.

        This unaudited Financial Report should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS.

        In accordance with IAS 34, the Group has chosen to publish a set of condensed financial statements in its financial report as of March 31, 2013.

        The principles and standards used in the preparation of this unaudited Financial Report are consistent with those used in preparing the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012, except as described in Note 3 "New Accounting Principles," and taxes on income which are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to projected total annual profit.

        In particular, this Financial Report has been prepared on a going concern basis. Management believes that there are no indicators that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

        The consolidated financial statements in this Financial Report are composed of the consolidated statements of financial position, the consolidated statements of income, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity, the consolidated statements of cash flows and these Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2013.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)

        The Group also applied the CONSOB resolution n. 15519 of July 27, 2006 and the CONSOB communication n. 6064293 of July 28, 2006.

        The preparation of an interim report requires management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, costs, assets and liabilities, as well as disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. Results published on the basis of such estimates and assumptions could vary from actual results that may be realized in the future.

        These measurement processes and, in particular, those that are more complex, such as the calculation of impairment losses on non-current assets, and the actuarial calculations necessary to calculate certain employee benefits liabilities, are generally carried out only when the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year are prepared, unless there are indicators which require updates to estimates.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

        New and amended accounting standards and interpretations must be adopted in the first interim financial statements issued after the applicable effective date.

        In addition to the new accounting principles indicated in Note 2 "New Accounting Principles" of the notes to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012, the Group has applied starting from January 1, 2013 the IAS 19 revised standard "Employee benefits," which was published in June 2011.

        The new standard requires that the expense for a funded benefit plan include net interest expense or income, calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability. Furthermore actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in 'other comprehensive income' (OCI) and will not be recycled to profit and loss in subsequent periods.

        The new standard is applied retrospectively to all periods presented.

        As a result of the application of this new standard (i) income from operations and net income attributable to Luxottica Stockholders decreased by Euro 2.9 million and Euro 1.8 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2012 and (ii) net income attributable to Luxottica Stockholders decreased by Euro 7.3 million in the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

        On January 23, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Alain Mikli International, a French luxury and contemporary eyewear company. The cash portion of the consideration for the acquisition was Euro 85.4 million. The purchase price paid in the first quarter of 2013, including the assumption of approximately Euro 15 million of Alain Mikli's debt, totaled Euro 91 million. Net sales generated by Alain Mikli International in 2012 were approximately Euro 55.5 million.

        The Company uses various methods to calculate the fair value of the Alain Mikli assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The valuation processes have not been concluded as of the date these financial statements were authorized for issue. In accordance with IFRS 3—Business Combinations, the fair value of the net assets and liabilities assumed will be defined within 12 months from the acquisition date
