Luxottica reported a 0.8% decrease in net sales for 1Q 2018 compared to 1Q 2017 at constant exchange rates. Wholesale sales declined 4.2% due to weak trends in Europe from severe weather and changes in order timing from 2017. Retail sales grew 1.3%, driven by growth at Sunglass Hut but impacted by declines in Europe in March. The company confirmed its full year 2018 outlook despite the soft start.
