L’Oréal closed 2025 with a strong and resilient performance, reinforcing its position as the world’s leading beauty company despite an increasingly volatile global environment. The year marked a decisive phase in the Group’s evolution, combining solid financial results with deep strategic transformation.
In 2025, L’Oréal reported sales of €44.05 billion, reflecting a like-for-like growth of 4.0%. This steady growth was accompanied by improved margins, underscoring the Group’s ability to balance investments with profitability. Shareholders are set to benefit as well, with a proposed dividend of €7.20 per share, to be tabled at the Annual General Meeting on April 24, 2026.
According to CEO Nicolas Hieronimus, 2025 was a landmark year for the Group. L’Oréal not only delivered robust financial performance but also reshaped its future growth engine. The year stood out as a record period for acquisitions, highlighted by a historic agreement with Kering, signaling the company’s ambition to expand into new territories and categories.
Innovation remained at the heart of L’Oréal’s strategy. The Group was recognized as Europe’s most innovative company, reflecting its leadership in research, product development, and beauty technology. Alongside this, artificial intelligence saw rapid integration across all business functions, from research and operations to marketing and consumer engagement, significantly enhancing agility and personalization.
Looking ahead, L’Oréal continues to signal confidence. The Financial Information Meeting scheduled for February 13, 2026, will further outline the Group’s strategy and outlook, as it builds on solid growth, strengthened capabilities, and a future-ready transformation.
