Commenting on the annual results, Mr Jean-Paul Agon, Chief Executive Officer of L'Oréal, said: "In 2006, L’Oréal achieved further strong growth in its results. The success of the product innovations, the strength of our brands and the rapid pace of our geographic expansion have once again enabled us to improve our worldwide positions.
Operating profit rose strongly under the combined effect of the product value enhancement strategy and the strict control of all costs. Profitability has thus improved significantly to reach 16.1 % of sales. All the divisions and zones across the board contributed to this increase in our profitability.
The acquisition of The Body Shop, consolidated since July 1st 2006, made a positive contribution to the growth of both sales and earnings in the second half.
All these results and the dynamism they convey inspire confidence for 2007".
