Safilo continued along its growth path in Q3 despite an adverse exchange rate effect. The Italian eyewear group recorded a revenue of €220.8 million in the period, up 2.1% at constant exchange rates. However, the dollar's weakness against the euro dragged down revenue at current exchange rates by 2.1%. In Q3, adjusted EBITDA rose to €22.1 million, up 24.3%, and margin was 10%.

Europe was Safilo’s main growth driver in Q3, with revenue up 7.7% at constant exchange rates (and 6.7% at current rates) to €90.9 million, bolstered by the sunglasses segment. Results in Asia-Pacific were also positive, generating a revenue of €13.8 million (up 7.8% at constant exchange rates), while in North America revenue fell 6.6% at current rates.
