In 2023, we achieved a solid set of results which reflect a period of persistent recovery for the Group. Following several years of global travel restrictions, the international travel and tourism sector has experienced a gradual return to pre-pandemic travel patterns in the past year. This development continued to stand PCPD in good stead. Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono, our hotel operations in Hokkaido, delivered an excellent performance in 2023, as Japan saw a sharp rise in inbound tourists during the year, which was Park Hyatt Niseko's first full year of operation since the country lifted COVID-related travel restrictions on foreign tourists. In 2023, recreational facilities at Niseko Hanazono Resort also recorded a significant increase in the number of visitors and users compared to that of last year. In Jakarta, Indonesia, the occupancy of our premium commercial building, Pacific Century Place, Jakarta ("PCP Jakarta"), remained stable throughout the year. At the end of December 31, 2023, the office space occupancy was 83%, compared to 81% the previous year. In Thailand, foreign tourist arrivals continued to increase, which helped drive up revenue for the Group's golf clubhouse and 18-hole golf course in Phang Nga. Piling work for our property development project at 3–6 Glenealy, Central has been progressing well. We are cautiously optimistic about the property sectors in Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia in the long run. We will formulate our cost and revenue strategies in preparation for unforeseen situations and also to enhance our business performance. Mr. Benjamin Lam, PCPD's Deputy Chairman and Group Managing Director, said: "Globally, 2024 will present different challenges, although there will also be opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region. We will monitor closely changes in the market while remaining agile in the way we deploy our resources, with a view to optimising our performance and delivering returns."

Revenue of €426 million for FY2023, a 1% increase over FY 2022 Despite challenging conditions, Lanvin Group grew revenue by 8% in APAC Resiliency through creative transition at Lanvin brand helped improve sales trend in the second half of 2023 Positive signals in the DTC channel, including e-Commerce are proving the effectiveness of the Group's strategy Ongoing implementation of strategic plans in 2023 to drive further revenue growth and margin improvement NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lanvin Group (NYSE: LANV, the "Group"), a global luxury fashion group with Lanvin, Wolford, St. John, Sergio Rossi, and Caruso in its portfolio of brands, today announced its preliminary, unaudited revenues for the full-year 2023. The Group achieved revenues of €426 million, a 1% increase year-over-year versus 2022. Eric Chan, CEO of Lanvin Group, said: "2023 was a year full of macroeconomic headwinds and global challenges. Lanvin Group showed tremendous resilience and continued on its growth trajectory. 2023 was also a year that our group and our brands proved their ability to manage through adverse market conditions and execute their strategy. A softening second half saw the luxury fashion industry in a position it has not been in, in quite some time. Therefore, I am pleased to report that Lanvin Group maintained growth for the year; and I am confident in our management's ability to continue to build upon the foundation we have built on our path to profitability." Review of the Full-Year 2023 Preliminary, Unaudited Revenues Lanvin Group Revenue by Brand (Euros in Thousands) 2023A 2022A Growth % Preliminary Audited 2023A vs. 2022A Lanvin 111,740 119,847 -7 % Wolford 126,905 125,514 +1 % St. John 90,394 85,884 +5 % Sergio Rossi 59,518 61,929 -4 % Caruso 40,011 30,819 +30 % Total Brands 428,568 423,993 +1 % Eliminations & Others -2,155 -1,681 Total Group 426,413 422,312 +1 % Selected Highlights The Group drove results through a softening market in the second half: Lanvin Group maintained growth through a transitional year with 1% year-on-year growth. The Group continued improving its retail network and expanding its e-commerce footprint. Successful product launches and marketing campaigns generated brand heat allowing for resiliency in revenues during a challenging market. Store network rationalization: The Group continued to rationalize its store footprint and had an overall reduction in its store-base by a total of 12 stores. Despite the smaller store base, Group DTC sales remained flat on a like-for-like basis. St. John and Sergio Rossi posted strong store like-for-like growth with 13% and 6%, respectively. Lanvin brand showed improving result in the second half: Lanvin brand performed better in the second half of the year in spite of the increasingly softening market. The brand successfully managed through a year of creative transition, but was impacted by a softer wholesale market. The establishments of the Leather Goods and Accessories department and Lanvin Lab, with the first Lanvin Lab capsule successfully launched with the Grammy-winning artist, Future in Q4, started to make positive impacts in the second half and will continue to do so in 2024. While first half revenue decreased by 11%, the brand ended the year down 7%. Stability in North America and EMEA, and growth in APAC despite economic challenges: Management successfully navigated an increasingly challenging market to maintain revenue growth for 2023. North America grew slightly while EMEA decreased slightly. In Asia, despite a slow start to the year in China in the first half, Greater China posted 8% growth and overall, the APAC region grew by 8%. Continuing transition to core products and accessories: The Group continued its focus on refining products and categories to provide stability and resiliency to revenue and profitability. With a refocused strategy on their brand and product offerings, St. John grew its DTC channel by 7%, in 2023. Additionally, Caruso achieved 30% growth in global revenue by continuing to drive its playful elegance approach and expanding its production capacity and its specialized workforce. e-Commerce revenue continued its growth trend: Digital revenue continued to grow with the Group-level posting a 3% year-on-year growth in e-Commerce. Notably, St. John showed 14% growth in e-Commerce revenue and Sergio Rossi showed 5% growth. Lanvin and Wolford remained flat for the year. 2024 Outlook The Group anticipates that while continued softness in the overall global market will impact the business, regional economies will fare better and present opportunities for growth. Furthermore, the APAC region shows opportunities for market share gains. The Group plans to pursue tactical growth opportunities in 2024. At both Group and brand-level, ongoing initiatives will continue to drive improved margin profile. Planned marketing initiatives and product launches are expected to drive sales in 2024 which will lead to improving scale as the Group capitalizes on the operating leverage it built in 2023.

Led by researchers Varun Venkataramani (first author), Frank Winkler, and Thomas Kuner (senior co-authors) from the University of Heidelberg in Germany, the study "Glutamatergic synaptic input to glioma cells drives brain tumour progression", published in Nature in 2019, represents breakthrough research important for understanding human cancer, specifically glioblastomas, a very aggressive type of brain tumour with an average survival time of just 1.5 years, even with state-of-the-art treatment. In this work, the authors showed that glioblastomas and other incurable gliomas can integrate themselves into the function of the brain, and that input from healthy brain cells, normally used in functions such as thinking and memory, drives the progression of gliomas. This is possible by formation of synapses between neurons and cancer cells. For the president of the Jury, "these findings are a major and surprising advance in the understanding of how brain cancer progresses, by describing a new communication channel between neurons and the tumour and by suggesting specific avenues for treatment". This paper shows that cancer cells cannot merely proliferate - they have to hijack healthy biological processes and integrate themselves into the normal function of tissues. "Nowhere is this more blatant - and surprising - than in the brain tumours studied in this paper", says Ralph Adolphs. The award-winning research also provides a new explanation for why epilepsy and tumour progression are often observed together: epilepsy may be a cause, rather than a consequence of the tumour progression. The winning paper, chosen from 70 nominations, is co-authored by 29 researchers from Heidelberg University, Heidelberg University Hospital, German Cancer Research Center, University Hospital Mannheim, Otto-von-Guericke University (Germany), Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (USA), University of Glasgow (UK), University of Bergen, and Haukeland University Hospital (Norway). It should be noted that two of the scientists who won the 2021 edition of this Award, Katalin Karikó, and Drew Weissman, were awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries that enabled the development of vaccines based on mRNA to prevent COVID-19.
