Safilo Group Sees Q3 Growth Fueled by North America Recovery

MILAN — A recovery in North America that offset softer trends in Europe, a return to growth of prescription frames and a strong performance of Carrera, Smith, Kate Spade, David Beckham and Boss eyewear helped drive Safilo Group‘s business in the third quarter.

In the three months ended Sept. 30, sales of the Italian eyewear company amounted to 227.5 million euros, up 3 percent compared with 220.8 million euros in the same period of 2025. Despite the volatility and uneven trends across geographies, during a conference call with analysts on Tuesday at the end of trading, chief executive officer Angelo Trocchia underscored the “clear improvement” of the quarter compared with the slowdown experienced in the second quarter.

Also on Tuesday, Safilo said it had renewed Trocchia’s contract for an additional three-year period, effective Dec. 31. Trocchia was named to the role in 2018.

Sunglasses showed a clear improvement in North America, supported by stronger trends in the direct-to-consumer channel.

By geography, in the third-quarter sales in Europe fell 3.3 percent to 87.9 million euros while revenues in North America rose 7.7 percent to 104.4 million euros, representing almost 46 percent of the total.

Asia-Pacific was up 2.6 percent to 14.2 million euros and sales in the Rest of the World rose 9.8 percent to 21.1 million euros.

“The third quarter marked an improvement in our sales trajectory, confirming the positive signs we had started to see toward the end of the first half and into July,” Trocchia said.

“North America showed clearer signs of recovery, as market conditions gradually stabilized across certain channels, while the environment in Europe remained more challenging for sunglasses in some key markets.”
