In the first half of the year, Luxottica Group continued to grow across markets and brands, posting a 22% increase in sales on an adjusted3,5 basis, with adjusted3,5 operating margin up by 140 bps and adjusted3,5 net income up by 34%. The Group continued to invest in its long-term success, with a focus on emerging markets, strengthening its retail segment and developing new distribution channels.
We saw record sales and profitability in the second quarter, which was all the more satisfying considering the second quarter of last year was the strongest in 2014. commented Adil Khan and Massimo Vian, Chief Executive Officers of Luxottica.
The results were solid in every region, proving the global sustainability of our business model. North America continued the trend we saw in the first quarter with 6% growth on an adjusted3,5 basis at constant exchange rates2, boosted by LensCrafters accelerating comparable store sales4. Europe posted a remarkable +9%, notwithstanding the significant results reported in the second quarter of 2014. Emerging markets recorded 22% sales growth, experiencing high demand for our eyewear collections, particularly in China, Southeast Asia, Brazil and Mexico.
We look at the second half of 2015 with confidence. The results of the first seven months of 2015, including July, came in strong and benefited from a good sun season, leading us to confirm our guidance for the full year. We believe the investments were making in the Groups expansion, product and technological innovation and global talent will set us up for future success.
During the first six months of 2015, Luxotticas new leadership has been moving forward at a fast pace to set the foundation for long-term profitable growth. The key initiatives that have been introduced include the further integration of Oakley, strengthening the organization in China and the initial implementation of a price harmonization program.
Further integration of Oakley
During the second quarter, management accelerated the further integration of Oakleys operations into Luxottica to better leverage the Groups strengths and to increase investments in Oakley products and innovation. This plan is designed to accelerate growth and to unlock the full potential of the brand fueling the disruptive DNA which has made Oakley one of the most iconic names in sports.
The integration, which is targeted to be completed by year-end, is expected to generate significant synergies in the range of Euro 100 million once fully deployed. Integration activities are estimated to cost approximately Euro 50 million (including minor reorganization activities across the Group), of which approximately Euro 20 million are reported in the second quarter and approximately Euro 30 million will be reported in the second half of 2015.
Price harmonization program
In light of the current favorable currency environment the Company is deploying a global price harmonization program in order to address price differentials that exist among markets, in particular in Asia when compared to Europe.
Group performance for the second quarter and the first half of 20151
In the second quarter, the Group delivered adjusted3,5 sales growth of 21.4%, or +6.6% at constant exchange rates2 to Euro 2.5 billion, a record level for a single quarter. Both segments contributed to this increase in sales. Performance was in line with first quarter results with sales increasing by 14.3% in the Wholesale segment and, on an adjusted basis3,5, by 27.3% in the Retail segment.
During the first six months of the year, the Groups adjusted3,5 sales rose by 21.8%, or +6.9% at constant exchange rates2, to Euro 4.8 billion. Net sales increased by 15.4% for the Wholesale division and by 26.9%, on an adjusted basis3,5, for the Retail division.
Group adjusted3,5 operating income soared by 31.4% to Euro 521 million in the second quarter, with an adjusted3,5 operating margin of 20.8%, up by 160 bps from the second quarter of last year. Adjusted3,5 operating margin expanded by 190 bps to 30% for the Wholesale segment and by 140 bps to 17.6% for the Retail segment.
During the first six months of the year, Group adjusted3,5 operating income rose by 31.9% to Euro 879 million, with a 140 bps increase in adjusted3,5 operating margin reaching 18.5%. The adjusted3,5 operating margin grew by 150 bps to 27.7% in the Wholesale segment and by 130 bps to 15.5.% in the Retail segment.
Adjusted3,5 net income for the second quarter of 2015 amounted to Euro 314 million, an increase of 33.6% from the second quarter of last year, resulting in adjusted3,5 EPS (earnings per share) of Euro 0.66 (US$ 0.72 at the exchange rate of /US$ of 1.1053).
In the first half of 2015, adjusted3,5 net income was Euro 525 million, a 33.7% increase from the first half of last year and resulting in adjusted3,5 EPS (earnings per share) of Euro 1.10 (US$ 1.22 at the exchange rate of /US$ 1.1158).
Free cash flow3 generation was Euro 261 million (after a tax-related cash payment of Euro 63 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2015. After paying dividends of Euro 690 million during the second quarter, net debt3 as of June 30, 2015 was Euro 1,447 million (Euro 1,005 million as of March 31, 2015), with a net debt/adjusted3,5 EBITDA ratio of 0.8x.

North America
Benefiting from a solid trading environment, North America continued the first quarter trend delivering +29.3% growth in adjusted3,5 sales at current exchange rates (+6% in US$), with strength from both the Wholesale and Retail segments.
The Wholesale divisions strong momentum continued notwithstanding a few weeks during the quarter where sales were negatively impacted following the commencement of the integration project whereby Oakleys wholesale activities will be integrated into the wholesale activities of the Group.
The Retail division also enjoyed healthy growth, reflecting LensCrafters accelerating comparable store sales4 during the second quarter of 2015 which were up by 6.4%.
Europe
Sales in Europe continued to accelerate in the second quarter, up by 9.1% at current exchange rates. Germany, UK, Nordic and Eastern countries, in particular, contributed to the performance of the Wholesale division in Europe. Within the Retail segment, Sunglass Hut enjoyed double-digit comparable store sales4 progression driven by Continental Europe.
Asia-Pacific
The Group continued on its path of solid growth in the Asia-Pacific region, with sales up by 18.2% at current exchange rates, boosted by particularly strong performance in China (+48%) and India (+34%). The performance of the Retail division was mixed in the region, due to the Australian market, where OPSM continued to post negative comparable store sales4 but Sunglass Hut delivered on the strong momentum seen throughout the second quarter of the year.
Latin America
During the second quarter of 2015, the Group continued to deliver consistent growth across Latin America. Sales in the region grew by 13.8% at current exchange rates driven by the Retail divisions strong comparable store sales4, with GMO and Sunglass Hut increasing at double-digit rates throughout the quarter, as well as the contribution from the performance of 48 new stores opened since the second quarter of 2014.
In Brazil, the primary market in the region, both the Wholesale and Retail segments confirmed the strength of Luxotticas competitive position by continuing to grow at a double-digit pace at constant exchange rates2,6.
The Group continued the Wholesale divisions expansion strategy in the region with the opening of new subsidiaries in Bogota, Colombia and in Chiles capital city of Santiago de Chile during the second quarter of 2015.
§
Results for the second quarter and first half of 2015 will be discussed today during a conference call with the financial community starting at 7:00pm CEST (6:00PM GMT, 1:00PM US EDT). The call will be available via live webcast and can be accessed at www.luxottica.com

Notes on the press release
1 All comparisons, including percentage changes, are between the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2015, respectively.
2 Figures at constant exchange rates have been calculated using the average exchange rates in effect for the corresponding period in the previous year. For further information, please refer to the attached tables.
3 EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net sales, adjusted operating income/profit, adjusted operating margin, free cash flow, net debt, net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are not measures in accordance with IFRS.
4 Comparable store sales reflect 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, and applies to both periods the average exchange rate for the prior period and the same geographic area.
5 The adjusted data for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 (i) do not take into account a change in the presentation of a component of EyeMed net sales that was previously included on a gross basis and is currently included on a net basis due to a change in the terms of an insurance underwriting agreement, resulting in a reduction to net sales on a reported basis of approximately Euro 44 million in the second quarter and approximately Euro 86 million in the first half and (ii) exclude the costs relating to the Oakley integration project (including minor reorganization activities across the Group) which had a Euro 20.4 million impact on Group operating income and a Euro 19.6 million impact on Group net income in the second quarter.
6 At current exchange rates sales in Brazil increased by 7.3% in the second quarter of 2015.

Non-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 to include sales of the EyeMed division in 2015. Following the modification of an EyeMed reinsurance agreement with an existing underwriter, the Group assumes less reinsurance revenues and less claims expense. The impact of the contract for the six month period ended June 30 2015 was Euro 85.8 million (the Eyemed Adjustment).
In addition, management has made adjustments to fiscal year 2014 measures as described in the footnotes to the tables that contain such fiscal year 2014 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 (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 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 Company. The Company cautions that these adjusted measures are not defined terms under 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 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 IFRS financial measures or, in the case of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, to EBITDA and EBITDA margin, respectively, which are also non-IFRS measures. For a discussion of EBITDA and EBITDA margin and a reconciliation of EBITDA and EBITDA margin to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, see the tables on the pages immediately following the reconciliation of the adjusted measures.

Non-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 (IFRS). We include them in this prese
