L’Oreal’s (OTCMKTS: LRLCY) revenue has gradually increased over the years, primarily driven by strong performance in the Active cosmetic division and L’Oreal Luxe segments. L’Oreal recently reported better-than-expected growth in sales for H1 2018, growing by a 6.6% rise to $13.39 Billion euros.

L’Oreal’s premium ‘Luxe’ brands, as expected, earned the company higher profit margins. L’Oreal’s Luxe Segment delivered a strong 13.5% growth in H1 2018 with its revenue reporting at $4.3 Bn , driven by makeup and facial skincare sales in the Asia-Pacific region, especially China and Hong Kong, and by Travel Retail. L’Oréal Luxe has made a solid start to the year in Western Europe, particularly in Spain. The division is continuing to perform well in e-commerce and is outpacing growth in the mass beauty segment.

L’Oreal’s Active Cosmetics revenues rose to $1.2 Bn (+ 11.4% y-o-y) in H1 2018, primarily with La Roche-Posay (launching Hyalu B5), Vichy, CeraVe, and Skinceuticals reporting as the best selling brands. L’Oreal is one of the leading names in the active cosmetics market. In an effort to further grow this segment, L’Oreal’s newly acquired skincare brands, CeraVe, AcneFree, and Ambi have been performing well, too. L’Oreal has the leading market position in Asia and North America, the fastest growing geographies for active cosmetics. This segment had also achieved more than 2 billion euros of sales for the first time in the annual 2017 earnings.
