Note: Retailers Average Gross Profit is the gross income earned by the distributor or retailer on account of selling. This income is used for paying expenses on rents, staff, and other logistics and admin costs, leaving the seller with a net income (profit). L’Oreal’s revenues are calculated after subtracting the retailer’s profit margin from its total market share. We expect the retailer’s gross profit margin to remain at around 42% over the five year period.
