[1/2] A Hermes store sign is seen at a shopping mall in San Diego, California, U.S., November 23, 2022.
"Despite an uncertain context, our outlook remains unchanged," Eric du Halgouet, Hermes executive vice president finance, told journalists, noting strong growth in the U.S. and Asia, including China.
Sales in the Americas rose 20%, despite smaller price hikes than in other parts of the world, with even growth rates on both U.S. coasts, Hermes said.
In Europe, sales grew 18.1%, with Du Halgouet noting no sign of a slowdown in tourist traffic in the region, and no slowdown in France, including in the first weeks of October.
"We are attentive," said Du Halgouet, noting an uncertain geopolitical context could affect tourism.
