Sales of core products are stated net of discounts.
Miscellaneous sales relate mainly to the sale of semi-finished products and sample items.
Other revenues refer mainly to the provision of services such as processing, to cost recharges and miscellaneous services.
The change in revenues relative to the comparative year is primarily due to:
-a different contribution from the collection mix, reflecting prudent consumer spending in the market as a whole;
-an unfavorable trend in emerging country currencies against the Euro's exchange rate (15 million), particularly the Korean won, Turkish lira, Russian rouble and Indian rupee;
-a net positive impact from the opening of directly operated stores.
