2 PRESENTATION

OF THE NEW GROUP

EssilorLuxottica (the "Company"), a fully integrated player of the eyecare and eyewear industry, is a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of ophthalmic lenses, frames and sunglasses

The Company brings together the complementary expertise of two industry pioneers, one in advanced lens technologies and the other in the craftsmanship of iconic eyewear, to create a vertically-integrated business that is uniquely positioned to address the world's evolving vision needs and the global demand of a growing eyecare and eyewear industry.

The Company's combined strengths include recognised innovation capabilities, a high quality brand portfolio, best-in-class manufacturing and supply chain, omnichannel distribution, expert know-how in local partnerships, which form the foundation for long-term, sustainable performance of EssilorLuxottica.

Influential eyewear brands including Ray-Ban and Oakley, lens technology brands including Varilux® and Transitions®, and world-class retail brands including Sunglass Hut and LensCrafters are part of the EssilorLuxottica family.

With a worldwide presence across all stages of the value chain, EssilorLuxottica has approximately 150,000 employees

committed to providing vision care and eyewear products that meet the individual needs and aspirations of each consumer. The Company's unique business model and relentless pursuit of operational excellence ensures that consumers everywhere have access to products that have been rigorously tested to meet internationally recognized standards, from the simplest pair of glasses to the most sophisticated custom-made lenses and branded eyewear.

In 2017, EssilorLuxottica's pro forma consolidated revenues would have reached approximately Euro 16 billion.

At EssilorLuxottica, our mission is to help people see more, be more and live life to its fullest

Powering sight

80% of what people learn is processed through the eyes. But one out of three people around the world still do not have the vision care they need, and billions more are at risk of deteriorating vision. Beyond essential vision correction, EssilorLuxottica seeks to respond to the vast need for vision protection from sunlight and harmful blue light.

Powering style

Combining the best in advanced lens technology with beautifully crafted and branded frames turns a necessary device that improves vision into an accessory that not only fits comfortably in form and function, but also serves as a true expression of personal style.

The Company is in a unique position to deliver eyeglasses at all price points, across many different channels everywhere in the world, relying on all its capabilities and brands to trade consumers up, depending on their needs and means.
