Sales in the division fell 10 percent year-over-year in the first quarter (7 percent at constant exchange rates).
The division saw double-digit growth in the Americas, but it was not enough to offset declining sales in China, Hong Kong, and Macau, as well as Japan.

Richemont did not provide guidance for the second quarter of the fiscal year.
