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

1.6.4 OTHER HERMÈS SECTORS Other Hermès sectors include Jewellery and Hermès Art of Living and Tableware. In 2022, they generated revenue of €1,371 million, contributing 12 % to Group's revenue. JEWELLERY In 2022, the Jewellery métier highlighted the House’s uniqueness and creative strength. Supported by the Hermès Joaillerie cavalière communication campaign, the métier continues to create bold jewellery around its various stories and savoir‑faire , expressing its creative wealth and affirming its positioning as a jeweller of design. Pierre Hardy, Creative Director of Jewellery, has taken this into the realm of wonders with the seventh haute joaillerie collection, Les Jeux de l’ombre . Describing the movement of shadows and their relationship with light, this collection succeeds in capturing the intangible and showcases the beauty of the stones. The seven themes that make up Les Jeux de l’ombre were revealed to the press at La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris in early July, during a performance combining choirs, whispers and coloured chiaroscuro, echoing the subtle play of shadows on these objects. The collection was then presented in the Faubourg Saint‑Honoré store in Paris and then in the new Madison store in New York in November. For its part, the Kellymorphose exhibition, which showcases the multiple metamorphoses of the Kelly bag into a piece of jewellery, continued its journey around the world, visiting several countries. HERMÈS ART OF LIVING AND TABLEWARE The strong growth initiated by Hermès Art of living and Tableware in 2020 continued in 2022. The acceleration was seen by all product families. It is the result of both the implementation of new creations and the actions carried out to increase production capacities, such as the opening of a new porcelain decoration workshop in the Limoges region. The year was marked by two major events: firstly, the January launch of a major new porcelain tableware service, Soleil d'Hermès . Available for sale in early summer, it positioned itself at the top of the Hermès table from its first few months. The second highlight was the Milan Design Week in June, where the presentation of new products attracted a record number of visitors. Built around this year's theme of lightness, the setting enabled visitors to explore a wide variety of textile collections, as well as to discover initiatives related to wickerwork, hand‑painted leather or paper. So many proposals which once again won the votes of the press and buyers present. 1.6.4.1 1.6.4.2

PERFUME AND BEAUTY

1.6.5

1.6.5.1 Perfume and Beauty generated revenue of €448 million in 2022, i.e. 4 % of consolidated sales. PERFUME Activity in 2022 was supported by the launch of several new fragrance products, two in the first half of the year and three in the second, and by the promotion of the collections, with particular attention paid to both external distribution and the Hermès exclusive store channel. In the first quarter, the Eau des Merveilles and Twilly d'Hermès women's lines welcomed perfume mists for the hair, while the Hermessence perfume essences were given a new bottle. In March, the eco‑designed H24 fragrance for men, with a lively, sensual and distinctive signature, celebrated its first anniversary with the arrival of a new refillable travel spray. In May, the Terre d’Hermès men's line was enriched with a new creation, Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée , signed by Christine Nagel, Hermès perfumer. Citron, juniper berry and Timut pepper create a striking icy breeze, dialoguing with the generous power of mineral and woody notes so recognisable as Terre . The heat under ice or the intense freshness of original earth, a regenerating source of energy for man. An ambitious creation, Terre d’Hermès Eau Givrée set out to win over an audience that was instantly seduced, backed by a dedicated communication campaign, including a new “Territory” film. The second half of the year began with a summery glow: the Colognes rainbow revealed an unprecedented shade of green, Eau de basilic pourpre . A tribute to a simple plant and the generous pleasure it provides, Eau de basilic pourpre displays the characteristic signature of Cologne – light, fresh and airy – supported by a Calabrian bergamot and a cheeky geranium, juxtaposed with the warmer notes of patchouli and spices to give the composition depth and complexity. In pursuit of its plant‑based dream, a daring blend between nature and technology, H24 has acquired an unprecedented amplitude and intensity with the Eau de parfum , which cheekily shakes up the proportions of the ingredients of the H24 eau de toilette, sage, rosewood, narcissus and sclarene. Foams – natural and high‑tech – make their appearance and exude an assumed, rich and comfortable naturalness. This launch also saw the H24 offering extended to an actual skincare line for men. Designed as a concentration of green energy with hydrating and anti‑pollution properties, it accompanies men in their daily lives, combining simplicity, naturalness and urban mobility. In October, the Hermessence collection welcomed a new creation, Violette Volynka , the unexpected encounter between two materials recognised as markers of the elegance of fine perfumery: violets and leather. Defying their striking opposition, Christine Nagel has associated the discreet flower with a powerful leather, part of the House's heritage, with its animal scent and singular grain, releasing audacity and character on touch.
