Message from the Chairman

Leonardo Del Vecchio

Chairman

Dear Shareholders,

Welcome to a new era in our Company's history. While the past few years have been difficult, the dream of creating EssilorLuxottica gave us all something to work towards to, together. The extraordinary transformation of our Company is an impressive story spanning five years and is unlike anything the industry has ever seen.

In January 2017, we shared our vision to combine a global leader in iconic branded frames with a global leader in ophthalmic lenses. Our combination journey was not an overnight shift. We needed to reshape and simplify the new company in order to meet the growing needs of the industry. We appointed talented managers in key roles, we became more agile and more efficient by centralizing the organization, and, we fast-tracked decisions so as not to miss any opportunities.

From there, we achieved a new milestone, welcoming GrandVision into our family this year. Three leaders who share a commitment to bringing the best eyewear and eyecare to people everywhere now make up one single champion. Today, we are ready to fulfill our promise to grow the industry by creating new categories and entering new markets.

From reimagining smart glasses to confronting myopia in innovative ways, we will create value for all our stakeholders and we will do it in a sustainable way.

Whether you have been with us from the very beginning or became a shareholder more recently, you have witnessed what EssilorLuxottica is capable of. Even in the face of a challenging 2021, we performed remarkably well without compromising our investment plans or our strategy.

I would like to thank our Board of Directors and our steadfast leadership, helmed by CEO Francesco Milleri and Deputy CEO Paul du Saillant, who have been instrumental in leading the way. They, along with our senior managers around the world, took great care of our people, while never losing sight of what makes our Company one-of-a-kind. Our customers and partners can be proud to work with these leaders and with all of our passionate employees.

2022 will be another trailblazing year. We have achieved great things and have many wins to celebrate, but there is always another mountain to climb. However, at EssilorLuxottica, we remain bold and purposeful, the only way to be on this journey.

Thank you for your ongoing support.
