The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. reported its fiscal 2025 third-quarter results, indicating a decline in certain segments and growth in others. Skin Care net sales decreased by 11%, primarily due to a downturn in the company's Asia travel retail business. This was attributed to subdued sentiment and lower conversion rates among Chinese consumers, as well as a strategic decision to decrease reseller activity exposure. Fragrance net sales also saw a reduction of 1%, largely driven by declines from Clinique and Estée Lauder, particularly in the Asia/Pacific region. Despite these challenges, the company experienced mid-single-digit organic net sales growth online and achieved prestige beauty share gains in strategic markets such as the U.S., China, and Japan. This growth was supported by successful launches, including the M·A·C Nudes Collection, La Mer Night Recovery Concentrate, and Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-hour Concealer. The company paid dividends amounting to $492 million in the third quarter. Stéphane de La Faverie, President and CEO, noted that the company met its organic sales outlook and exceeded profitability expectations in the third quarter, with a strategic reset of its travel retail business underway to align with recent industry trends and market conditions.
