UPDATE | SAFILO | Let’s Play the Safilo 2.0

The management roadshow we hosted in Paris reinforced our conviction that Safilo now benefits from a clearer strategic vision with a focus on: 1/ customer-centricity and customer-oriented favoured by its own digitalisation, 2/ the rebalancing of its brand portfolio in favour of owned brands (BG: 48%e of 2024 sales vs. 30% in 2019), and 3/ cost-saving initiatives. This strategic plan should help Safilo to mitigate the impact of the three LVMH licenses (i.e. Dior, Fendi and Givenchy in 2021-22) and therefore, we see the 2024 targets as realistic.

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
