The Paris-based maker of CeraVe skincare, Maybelline make-up and Valentino perfume said sales for the three months to end-June came to €11.6 billion ($13.21 billion), up 6.3% on a like-for-like basis after adjustment for the phasing in of its new IT system.
That was above expectations of 5.7% growth in a consensus of analysts provided by Visible Alpha.
