Safilo Group has released its performance results for the first quarter of 2026. The company reported net sales of €272.9 million during the first three months of the year. Sales increased by 0.4 percent at constant exchange rates. The company’s gross margin increased to 62 percent from 60.5 percent in the same period last year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization rose from 12 percent to 13.6 percent. Safilo stated that its first quarter performance progressed broadly in line with the business momentum recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025. According to the company, the results demonstrate continued stability in the underlying business dynamics across different regions. The recovery in North America and the resilience of core European markets were among the factors supporting growth. Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, meanwhile, remained the main regions weighing on overall growth. Safilo Group’s Ceo Angelo Trocchia said, “The first quarter of 2026 confirms the consistency and strength of our operating and financial performance. The resilience of our business model, underpinned by our solid brand portfolio and effective commercial execution, supported positive sales momentum in North America and across core European markets. The start of the year also saw the very promising launch of the new Victoria Beckham eyewear collection, which underscores the continued evolution of our portfolio and its ability to reach ever new consumer segments.”
