REMO RUFFINI, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Moncler S.p.A., commented: "Even though the first half of the year was marked by strong macroeconomic and geopolitical instability, we have exceeded our expectations, reaching 918 million euros in revenues and growth of a 46% at constant exchange rates. We also reported great operating margins along with solid economic and financial indicators, driven by the contribution of both brands, Moncler and Stone Island.

While the overall context remains uncertain and volatile, we head into our most important part of the year with confidence, underpinned by our strategy and the operational flexibility that has always made us stand out, together with a financial solidity and a clear vision oriented towards the continuous strengthening of the Brands.

This year also marks two important anniversaries: 70 years for Moncler and 40 years for Stone Island. In the upcoming months, we are preparing to celebrate our heritage with a range of dedicated initiatives and various projects for the years to come, always maintaining an awareness that there is no future without a past, and that the past alone is not enough to ensure a bright future."
