ANALYSIS OF MONCLER AND STONE ISLAND BRAND REVENUES
MONCLER BRAND In 2023, Moncler brand revenues were EUR 2,573.2 million, an increase of 19% cFX compared to 2022.
In 2023, the DTC channel recorded revenues of EUR 2,163.9 million, up 25% cFX compared to 2022. Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 20% cFX YoY, with both EMEA and Asia improving progressively compared to the previous quarter.
The wholesale channel recorded revenues of EUR 409.2 million, a decline of 6% cFX compared to 2022. In the fourth quarter, revenues in this channel de- clined by 15% cFX YoY, mainly impacted by the above-mentioned conversions of Nordstrom and part of Saks in the US and by the ongoing efforts to upgrade the quality of the distribution network. Excluding the effects of US conversions, revenues in the wholesale channel would have been slightly positive in 2023.
STONE ISLAND BRAND In 2023, Stone Island brand revenues reached EUR 411.1 million, an increase of 4% cFX compared to 2022.
In 2023, the wholesale channel recorded revenues of EUR 238.2 million, down 5% cFX compared to 2022. In the fourth quarter, revenues declined by 6% YoY, primarily due to the strict volume control adopted in the management of this channel to continuously improve the quality of the distribution network.
The DTC channel grew by 19% cFX compared to 2022 to EUR 172.8 mil- lion, representing 42% of total 2023 revenues. In the fourth quarter, revenues in this channel were up 16% cFX YoY, mainly driven by the very solid performance of Asia and EMEA.
Group EBIT was EUR 893.8 million with a margin of 30.0%, com- pared with EUR 774.5 million in 2022 with a margin of 29.8%. The Group net result was equal to EUR 611.9 million, compared with EUR 606.7 million in 2022, which was impacted by the above-men- tioned non-recurring item.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

STONE ISLAND BRAND The Stone Island brand is distributed globally both through the whole- sale channel and with direct presence (retail stores). Furthermore, in some markets the brand is managed by distribution contracts with qualified and long-standing partners, selected on the basis of their high knowledge of the fashion sector. The brand is currently present in the most important department stores in the world, also with dedi- cated spaces (shop-in-shops), in the best multi-brand boutiques and in the main e-tailers, besides having developed a network of 81 di- rectly managed mono-brand stores as well as the online store.
In line with the Group s strategy aimed at the integrated de- velopment of its distribution channels, Stone Island has begun a path that will lead the brand to a greater control of distribution on international markets, through a progressive direct management of the markets currently managed by distributors and through the ex- pansion of the DTC channel. Indeed, after the internalization of the distribution in the Korean and in the Japanese markets as well as internalization of DTC business in UK in 2022, at the end of 2023 Stone Island started the process to take full control of the brand dis- tribution in the Chinese market, which will be completed over the first months of 2024.
At the same time, the Company is enhancing its control and doors selection in the wholesale segment, a channel of strategic importance for Stone Island, with the aim of further elevating the positioning of the brand itself.
In 2023 the wholesale channel accounted for 58% of rev- enues while the remaining 42% was generated by directly man- aged stores and the online channel. As of 31 December 2023, the network of mono-brand Stone Island stores was composed of 15
