Estee Lauder (NYSE: EL) has continued with its growth momentum the past few years, primarily driven by strong performance in its Skin Care and Makeup segments. Its Skin Care and Makeup Divisions account for 80% of the company’s revenue. Recently, during the Q2 earnings for FY19, the company reported better-than-expected growth in sales growing by 11% y-o-y.

Estee Lauder’s Skin Care segment, which constitutes over one-third of Estee Lauder’s sales, posted 16% growth in Q2 sales. The company posted this exceptional performance driven by strong innovations, increasing demand from younger consumers, and gains from its hero products: Estée Lauder, La Mer, Origins, and Clinique brands. Driven by continued success of the recent launches — Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix — the Estee Lauder brand saw strong growth from China and the travel retail segment. La Mer saw growth coming from new products in the Genaissance collection and launch of The Moisturizing Matte Lotion. In addition, Origins generated sales growth from every geographic region, led by Asia. The division is continuing to perform well in e-commerce and is outpacing growth in the mass Skin Care segment.

EL’s makeup segment continued to see increased sales from the acquisitions of Too Faced and BECCA in the last fiscal year. The 3% increase in this segment was driven by strong growth from its brands viz. Estée Lauder and Tom Ford, Too Faced, BECCA, and La Mer.  Other sources of revenue for EL is the Hair Care segment, which increased by 5% primarily driven by higher sales of the Aveda brand and continued growth from the Invati Advanced line of products.
