For the full year, revenue totaled €86.15 billion ($93.4 billion), up 9 percent year-over-year.
Sales in the United States were up 8 percent in the fourth quarter and up 4 percent for the full year.
The U.S. is tied with Europe as LVMH’s second largest market in terms of revenue. It accounted for 25 percent of total revenue in 2023, down from 27 percent in 2022.
“Our performance in 2023 illustrates the exceptional appeal of our maisons and their ability to spark desire, despite a year affected by economic and geopolitical challenges,” CEO Bernard Arnault said in a statement.
