Hermès // 2022 UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT

PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP AND ITS RESULTS REVENUE AND ACTIVITY BY MÉTIER

1.6.1.5 Lastly, charms, those playful and colourful accessories, continue their rollout: Wink is a glasses case to take everywhere with you or hang on your bag; Ulysse Nano is a functional miniature of the emblematic diary cover, and Hermès Budy , a very soft small dog, adorns the bag of the urban rider. MATERIALS What better language than that of materials to tell the story of Hermès objects? Through their supple hand, their touch, their shades, their shine, their drape, leathers and woven cloths appeal to the senses, reassure, flatter, and sublime them. This dialogue enriches the collections over time, in a constant quest for excellence. Beauty and sensuality are the key words of the collection of materials. Around the base of Heritage leathers ( Box, Barénia, Vache naturelle, etc .), in the purest tradition of excellence, some 40 leathers illustrate this unique profusion of softness, sheen, relief and allure. Textile is continuing to explore new identities with the Toile Bivouac , designed for travel and roaming, with its highly resistant ripstop weave. Exceptionally lightweight, it results from a weave that is both sensual and technical, distinguished by a small square with a gentle relief, the result of the skilful interweaving of threads. It combines the sensuality of organic cotton with the strength of recycled polyester, for a firm and supportive hand. EQUESTRIANISM In 2022, the Hermès saddle shone at the highest sporting level thanks to the performance of the House’s partner riders. In dressage, the German rider, Jessica von Bredow‑Werndl, world number one in this discipline, won the World Cup final with a Hermès Arpège saddle in April. In show jumping, the Belgian Jérôme Guéry was crowned vice‑world champion at Herning with a Hermès Cavale saddle. It is from the collaboration between Jérôme Guéry, the Hermès' craftspeople and saddlery experts – and from this triple expertise – that the Selle Rouge was born, presented at the 12th edition of the Saut Hermès at the Grand Palais Éphémère. Depth of the seat, a slim tree fork, recessed knee rolls and a small skirt integrated into the flap: the Selle Rouge is at one with the horse and reveals, at first glance, its technical and aesthetic innovations. In addition, the métier confirmed its commercial momentum, both in saddles and across all its universes with, for example, the launch of the Hermès Fit line, a wardrobe that accompanies riders throughout the day, or the collection of objects for dogs that continue to surprise customers and offer fun and unique experiences in stores. 1.6.1.6 Small leather goods for men are also enhanced with a new timeless line, H sellier . Stylish and discreetly signed with a hand‑sewn H, it is available in two classic formats, essential for everyday life: a card holder and a glasses case.

1.6.1.2 The reinterpretation of the great classics is expressed through exceptional versions, designed in an Arts & Crafts spirit: daring and surprising stories that constantly push the boundaries of creation and savoir‑faire . With its double‑sided construction and its interplay of perspectives where asymmetry creates a new balance, the “En désordre” story shakes up the traditional references on the Kelly II Sellier 20 , the Birkin 30 and the Bolide 1923‑25 . The Kellydole bag, with its anthropomorphic allure, is back with a pixelated spirit, enhanced with a shoulder strap and a satchel that can hold a phone. The ultimate piece, and a triumph of the skill of the silversmith, the Kelly Midas bag emerges from the unprecedented fusion between metal and leather, with the matching of Box calfskin and a solid 18‑carat gold handle. In a playful spirit, the “Colormatic” animation is a play on contrasting colours and gives the bags an additional functionality with a new zipped front pocket as well as a back pocket. Natural materials are also enriched with, for example, the highlighting of the mane on the Toupet bag, a small bucket bag full of imagination. MEN'S BAGS The men’s collections have multiplied the offering in response to contemporary uses and revisit the identity codes of the great classics. A new timeless model available in two formats, the HAC à dos is designed for mobility with its hands‑free carrying mode. It sports the iconic details of the Haut à courroies , the House’s very first bag. The emblematic Sac à Dépêches continues to reinvent itself in a new, smaller, compact size to carry the essentials close to hand. The Hermès Allback model, the first men's backpack in canvas and leather, boasts an adventurous spirit thanks to its Toile Bivouac , a new resistant and light technical material, and its multiple functional features. Lastly, the Arts & Crafts odyssey continues with the major essentials of the men's universe: the Haut à Courroies bag dresses with a perfecto for a “rock” attitude in an exceptional version with singular details. TRAVEL Introduced at the end of 2021 in France and China, the R.M.S. case is continuing its rollout and is expanding its presence to more than 15 stores worldwide. Resolutely innovative and customisable through the play of handles and wheels, it offers a wide variety of materials and colours. The printed versions make it even more unique, like the very latest drawing, the mischievous Traffic Jam . ACCESSORIES AND SMALL LEATHER GOODS A land of experimentation, the small leather goods collections are enriched each season to offer a multiplicity of uses in a joyful and colourful spirit, while continuing to cultivate timelessness. With their compact format and their hands‑free carrying mode perfectly adapted to today’s uses, objects such as the Constance Slim and the Roulis Slim confirm their success, alongside the small leather goods To Go . Very much a contemporary item, the Hermèsway line is an all‑in‑one that carries the everyday essentials close to hand: phone, cards and lipstick. Its side case, signed with two stripes, echoes the world of Beauty. 1.6.1.3 1.6.1.4
