Company Report

The Combination of a Strong Brand and Effective Marketing Should Be a Winning Recipe for Elemis

We think L’Occitane’s growth over the next five years will largely depend on the performance of Elemis and Sol De Janeiro. Elemis, a premium skincare brand acquired in March 2019, is predominantly sold in the UK and US, with few sales elsewhere. Whether Elemis can repeat its success in other markets, especially China, will make a big difference in L’Occitane’s fortunes, given the steep price L’Occitane paid for the acquisition.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Recent acquisitions of smaller skincare brands should fuel growth and boost profitability.

Bears

Same-store sales growth for its core brand could remain sluggish as the brand fails to bring in new customers.
