Japan+10.5%Excludes currency swings (Hermès's own figure). Q3 alone: +9.6%.

Hermès's nine-month revenue was €12.26bn, up 5.5% at constant currency but only 2.9% as reported after roughly €310m of currency drag. Japan grew 10.5% at constant rates over the nine months and 9.6% in the third quarter, the fastest of any region that quarter, while the weaker yen left reported Japan revenue 0.3% lower for the nine months. A revenue-only update: profit comes with the full-year results.

Japan+11.0%Excludes currency swings (Hermès's own figure).

The Birkin maker grew first-half revenue 6% at constant currency, though the strong euro held the reported rise to 1.6% and eased its recurring operating margin to 41.0%. Japan was a standout, up 11% at constant currency and accelerating through the second quarter on strong store traffic and loyal local customers.
