Luxottica reached record net sales and profits in 2014, confirming the strength of its vertically integrated business model and its continued ability to achieve growth. Along with the strategic organizational decisions made and executed in 2014, these positive results set the foundation for sustainable and profitable growth in 2015 and beyond.
This is a terrific moment for Luxottica. commented Massimo Vian and Adil Khan, Chief Executive Officers of Luxottica The acceleration of sales and profitability in the fourth quarter gave us strong momentum going into 2015. We closed another record year of strong sales and profitability growth, we generated an outstanding Euro 802 million in free cash flow3, allowing us to pay a cash dividend of Euro 1.44 per share, more than doubled compared to 2013.
The power of our brand portfolio continued to be a huge success factor in an increasingly global and complex market. Strong performance in both Wholesale and at our major Retail businesses, particularly the sustained growth at Sunglass Hut and the progressive improvement at LensCrafters, resulted in a solid, all-around performance. These results are especially gratifying, given that they were achieved in a challenging global economic environment.
In 2015, we expect solid revenue growth and profitability to grow twice that of sales, as it has for the past five years, and we see continued growth across businesses in developed and new markets, with bright spots including Ray-Ban, Oakley and Sunglass Hut.
Our competitive position is stronger than ever. The industry is young and there are still many opportunities for organic and external growth ahead. Well continue to drive innovation and develop
new competencies to reap the benefits, bringing us to the point where we double sales to Euro 15 billion over the next 10 years.
Performance for the full year and the fourth quarter of 20141
In fiscal 2014, Luxottica recorded adjusted3,5 net sales growth of 5.3% (+6.7% at constant exchange rates2) to over Euro 7.6 billion. The Wholesale and Retail divisions both contributed to the Companys strong results.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, adjusted3,5 net sales grew by 14.9% (+9.3% at constant exchange rates2) reaching Euro 1.9 billion, benefitting from a favorable exchange rate effect.
North America was the primary driver of growth in Group net sales in 2014, recording an increase in total adjusted3,5 net sales in US dollars of 5.3% (+12.2% in the fourth quarter of 2014). This confirms the demand American consumers have for Luxotticas brands and eyewear collections and supports the strength of the business in both traditional and new channels, such as department stores and e-commerce. The performance in Europe6 was positive overall, with increased net sales of 4.6% at constant exchange rates2 for the full year, which reflects market share growth in major European markets. Emerging markets6 continued to yield excellent results with net sales increasing at constant exchange rates2 by 17.6% for the full year and by 14.7% in the fourth quarter of 2014. China and Brazil6, over the course of the year, increased net sales by 19.3% and 19.9% respectively at constant exchange rates2, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment.
Adjusted3,5 operating income for 2014 amounted to a record Euro 1,177.6 million, up 10.6% from an adjusted3,5 Euro 1,064.7 million in 2013 with an adjusted3,5 operating margin of 15.3% (14.6% in 2013). Adjusted3,5 operating income in the fourth quarter was Euro 215.1 million, resulting in an operating margin of 11.4%3,5 (10% in the same period of 2013).
Adjusted3,5 net income for the full year 2014 amounted to Euro 687.4 million, up by 11.4% from an adjusted3,5 Euro 617.3 million for 2013, corresponding to adjusted earnings per share (EPS)3,5 of Euro 1.44 (or US dollars 1.92, at an average /US$ exchange rate of 1.3285). In the fourth quarter of 2014, adjusted3,5 net income was Euro 121.6 million, or adjusted3,5 EPS of Euro 0.25 (US$ 0.32 at an average /US$ exchange rate of 1.2498), compared with adjusted3,5 net income of Euro 92.6 million, or adjusted3,5 EPS of Euro 0.20 in the fourth quarter 2013. The adjustment to net income in the fourth quarter of 2014 relates to the tax audit by Italian authorities in respect of the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 tax years which ended with a tax audit report based on the same claim made with reference to the 2007 tax year regarding transfer pricing policies. With reference to claims for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 tax years, Luxottica has agreed to pay approximately Euro 64 million. The impact on 2014 net income amounted to Euro 30.3 million given the partial offset of available provisions.
Free cash flow3 increased to a record Euro 802 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared with Euro 648 million5 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 as a result of improved profitability and continuous and efficient working capital management. Consequently, net debt3 at December 31, 2014 decreased to Euro 1,013 million (Euro 1,461 million at fiscal year-end 2013), with a net debt/adjusted EBITDA3,5 ratio of 0.6x compared to 1.0x at fiscal year-end 2013.
Wholesale Division: strong trading environment in North America and emerging markets
In 2014, the Wholesale Divisions net sales rose by 8.6% at constant exchange rates2 to Euro 3.2 billion. The Divisions operating income amounted to Euro 725 million, up by 10% from an adjusted3,5 Euro 658 million in 2013, resulting in an operating margin of 22.7% (22%3,5 in 2013).
In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Wholesale Division recorded net sales of Euro 704 million (+6.5% at constant exchange rates2) and operating income of Euro 109 million (+16% from Euro 94 million in 2013). In percentage terms, the operating margin rose to 15.5% from 14.6% in the fourth quarter of 2013.
The Divisions performance in 2014 was led by outstanding growth in North America, with net sales up by 11.2% in US$ which outperformed the market.
In Europe6, the Wholesale Division posted an increase in net sales of 2.5% at constant exchange rates2 in 2014. This was primarily due to the lack of a sun season in the second half of the year. However, this impact was partially offset by a resilient optical business, which confirmed the Groups ability to further strengthen its relationship with customers and gain market share.
Emerging markets continued to deliver strong sales performance. 2014 marked the first year of a dedicated subsidiary in Thailand and the entrance into Malaysia, in line with the Groups go-direct strategy for Southeast Asia. In Latin America, Brazil6 maintained a steady pace with sales up by 17% at constant exchange rates2, soon to become the second largest wholesale market for the Group.
Retail Division: effective execution at LensCrafters in North America proves successful; Sunglass Hut expands the sun category across the globe
In 2014, adjusted3,5 net sales for the Retail Division grew by 5.4% at constant exchange rates2 to Euro 4.5 billion. Comparable stores sales4 were up by 4%, largely attributed to LensCrafters progressive improvement throughout the year and Sunglass Huts sustained growth worldwide. Operating income amounted to Euro 636 million, up by 9% from Euro 586 million in 2013, which translated into an operating margin of 14.1%3,5 (13.5% in 2013).
In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Division posted total adjusted net sales3,5 of Euro 1.2 billion, up by 11.1% at constant exchange rates2 (+18.5% at current exchange rates) and up by 5% on a comparable store sales4 basis. This growth in net sales benefited from the impact of the 53rd week on the retail business, which generated net sales of approximately Euro 60 million. Operating income rose to Euro 149 million from Euro 109 million in the same period of 2013, resulting in an operating margin of 12.5%3,5 (10.8% in the fourth quarter of 2013).
In North America, total comparable store sales4 grew by 3.3% in 2014 (+5% during the fourth quarter of 2014). LensCrafters delivered progressive improvements in comparable store sales4, which increased by 1.8% in 2014 (+6.3% in the fourth quarter of 2014).
Sunglass Hut celebrated another sunny year with total sales up by 13.5% at constant exchange rates2 and global comparable store sales4 up by 7.4%, solidifying its position as the destination for luxury and premium/fashion sunglasses. The network also registered strong improvements in its polarized sun collections, reaching record levels in North America and attracting new consumers in
the rest of the world. In Europe, Sunglass Hut once again generated a strong increase in comparable store sales4, up by 10.1% in 2014. Similarly, double digit growth was achieved in Latin America and South Africa, which registered comparable store sales4 up by 18.9% and 16.3%, respectively, during the year.
In China (including Hong Kong), LensCrafters reported comparable store sales4 growth of 12% during the year and of 8.2% in the fourth quarter of 2014.
In Australia, the Retail Division experienced dual speed performance from Sunglass Hut and OPSM during the year. On the one hand, Sunglass Huts comparable store sales4 grew by 8.5%. On the other hand, OPSM was negatively affected by an increasingly competitive environment, recording an increase in comparable store sales4 of 1.7% for the full year, reflecting a slowdown in the second half of the year.
§
As a result of the continuous deleverage and the strong free cash flow generation, the Board of Directors will submit a motion to the General Meeting of Stockholders recommending the distribution of a cash dividend in the amount of Euro 1.44 per share, equal to 100% of adjusted net income3,5 of the Group, and comprised of an ordinary dividend equal to Euro 0.72 and an extraordinary dividend equal to Euro 0.72 per share. The total dividend amount will be approximately Euro 687 million.
§
The Board of Directors has agreed to convene the General Meeting of Stockholders on April 24, 2015 to approve the 2014 Statutory Financial Statements. The ordinary and extraordinary dividends will be payable in one tranche on May 20, 2015 (the coupon detachment date will be May 18, 2015 pursuant to the Borsa Italiana calendar with a record date of May 19, 2015). Regarding the American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the record date will be May 19, 2015 and, according to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the depositary bank for the ADR program), the payment date for the dividend in US dollars is expected to be May 28, 2015. The dividend amount in US dollars will be determined based on the /US$ exchange rate as of May 20, 2015. The General Meeting of Shareholders will also consider proposals relating to the election of the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, as current terms will expire concurrently with the General Meeting and the Companys Compensation Policy will also be submitted for review.
§
The Board Of Directors also recommends that at the General Meeting of Stockholders a resolution be adopted approving the buyback of Company shares and subsequent disposal of treasury shares. The authorization covers the purchase of a maximum of 10 million ordinary shares of the Company, representing 2.08 per cent of the share capital. The Company intends to use up to a maximum of Euro 750 million, to be withdrawn from its extraordinary reserve.
The share buyback is aimed at: (i) building a portfolio of treasury shares that can be used to replace financial resources for the performance of extraordinary finance transactions; implementing the 2013-2017 Performance Shares Plan, an equity compensation plan under which Luxottica Group shares may be awarded (at no cost) to beneficiaries and/or in connection with other compensation plans utilizing financial instruments that may be approved in the future; and (ii) supporting liquidity and stabilization activities related to the Companys ordinary shares, facilitating the exchange thereof and backing regular market-related trends.
If approved at the General Meeting of Stockholders, this authorization to purchase treasury shares will be valid until the next general meeting convened to approve the statutory financial statements but will not extend beyond a maximum of 18 months following the date the proposed resolution is adopted at the meeting to be held on April 24, 2015. The Company may buyback shares in one or more tranches under the authorization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may dispose of treasury shares at any time.
Ordinary shares of the Company will be bought back at a unit price that will be determined from time to time for each transaction, it being understood that this price cannot be greater or less than the reference market price of the Companys ordinary shares on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (MTA) organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. on the day preceding the relevant share purchase, increased or decreased by 10% (ten per cent), respectively.
The shares will be bought back in accordance with one of the operating methods set forth under article 144-bis, paragraph 1 of the regulations adopted by CONSOB in deliberation 11971 dated May 14, 1999, which will be identified from time to time by the Board of Directors, and on its behalf by the Chairman or the Chief Executive Officers. In any case, any buybacks executed on the market will be carried out in accordance with the methods established by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., which does not permit the direct combination of offers to buy with predetermined offers to sell and, in any case, in compliance with the market practices allowed by CONSOB according to resolution n. 16839 adopted on March 19, 2009 and with further laws and regulations applicable to this type of transaction.
As of the date of this release, the Company holds 3,647,725 treasury shares, including treasury shares that will be granted as of March 3, 2015 under the Performance Shares Plan 2012 referenced in this release.
§
The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Human Resources Committee, and as a result of Luxottica achieving a combined EPS target for the three-year period 2012-2014 set forth in the 2012 Performance Share Plan adopted on May 7, 2012, assigned a total of 498,778 Luxottica Group ordinary shares to 39 beneficiaries under the Plan. Furthermore, a cash distribution was approved for one beneficiary, whose employment ended but who was entitled to an allocation amount under the Plans regulations. Detailed information on this assignment will be provided pursuant to Article 84bis of the CONSOB Issuers Regulations, within the time limit provided by law for the publication of the remuneration report.
§
Results for fiscal year 2014 will be reviewed on March 3, 2015, starting at 8:30 AM GMT/9:30 AM CET (3:30 AM US EST) during a presentation to the financial community in Milan.

Luxottica Group 4Q14, Table 6 of 6
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 transactions or events.
We have made such adjustments to the following measures: EBITDA, EBITDA margin, net sales, cost of sales, operating income, operating margin, net income and earnings per share.
For comparative purposes, the foregoing measures have been adjusted by the following items:
(i) to exclude a non-recurring expense in 2014 related to termination of the former Group CEOs of Euro 20.0 million (Euro 14.5 million net of tax);
(ii) to include sales of the EyeMed division in 2014 of Euro 46.6 million which, starting from the third quarter of 2014, are reported on a net in lieu of a gross basis; and
(iii) to exclude costs related to a tax audit of the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 tax years of Luxottica S.r.l. in the amount of approximately Euro 30.3 million.
In addition, management has made adjustments to fiscal year 2013 measures as described in the footnotes to the tables that contain such fiscal year 2013 data.
The Company believes that these adjusted measures are useful to both management and investors in evaluating the Companys operating performance compared with that of other companies in its industry because they exclude the impact of certain items that are not relevant to the Companys 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 measures 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 Groups 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 measures due to the subjective nature of items excluded by management in calculating adjusted comparisons. We compensate for the foregoing limitations by using these adjusted measures as a comparative tool, together with IAS/IFRS measures, 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 Companys 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 companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Groups 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 measures, 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.
