Commenting on the half-year results, Mr. Stéphane Dalyac, Chairman of the Executive Board, said:

"In the context of a first half of the 2020-2021 financial year that was severely affected by the COVID-
19 health crisis, the Laurent-Perrier Group was able to adapt to this unprecedented situation, as shown
by the published results, thus confirming the resilience of its model based on its value policy. Indeed,
despite a sharp decrease in volumes sold as a result of the containment measures adopted worldwide,
this performance is based on a still positive price/mix effect, an increase in operating margin rate and
tight control of operating cash flow. Faced with many uncertainties regarding the development of the
health crisis and the business outlook for the UK (Brexit) and US markets, which call for a great deal
of caution, the Laurent-Perrier Group reaffirms its determination to stay the course of its strategy,
continuing to rely on the quality of its champagnes, the quality of its teams, the strength of its brands
and the control of its distribution."


Changes in turnover:
In a global champagne market down -28.4% in volume shipped compared to 2019 over the period from
April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020, the turnover of the Laurent-Perrier Group, relating to champagne
sales, stands at €71.0 million, i.e. a change of -28.4% in value at current exchange rates.
Despite a sharp -35.7% drop in champagne sales volumes, as a result of the health measures adopted
around the world, including the closure of hotel and restaurant activities and the very severe restrictions
on global air traffic, the Laurent-Perrier Group has delivered a +7.5% price/mix effect, driven by the
strength of its brands and the quality of its high-end champagnes.

Changes in income:
Operating income, at current exchange rates, reached €14.6 million, down -26.6% compared to 2019. In
this exceptional context, the Laurent-Perrier Group was able to adapt its cost structure, contributing to
a +0.5 point increase in its operating margin rate to 20.5% on a reported basis.
The Group's share of net income, for its part, amounted to €7.6 million at current exchange rates and
thus represents 10.7% of the Group's consolidated turnover.

Changes in operating cash flow and financial structure:
Operating cash flow for the period, which is traditionally negative in the first half due to the seasonal
nature of the business, held up well despite the exceptional drop in activity and thus stood at -€34.5
million at September 30, 2020. The limited decrease in cash flow from operations, management of
working capital requirements and control of capital expenditure limit the erosion of operating cash flow
to - €12.6 million compared with September 30, 2019.
The elements of the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020, reinforce the solidity of the
financial structure of the Laurent-Perrier Group. Shareholders' equity (Group share) amounted to €435.1
million and net debt was €324.0 million. Gearing thus stands at 0.74 compared to 0.75 at September 30,
2019.
