Cognac maker Remy Cointreau drops earnings target over tariffs
Cognac maker Remy Cointreau drops earnings target over tariffs
by AFP Staff Writers
Paris (AFP) June 4, 2025

French cognac and liqueur maker Remy Cointreau said Wednesday it was scrapping its earnings outlook for the 2029-2030 financial year due to uncertainty over US and Chinese tariff policies.

US President Donald Trump has imposed 10 percent tariffs on imports from nearly every country around the world since April and has threatened to ramp up duties on goods from the European Union.

Separately, Beijing has imposed anti-dumping duties on European brandy exports since last year, after the EU imposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.

French cognac makers say the spat with China, a major market for the industry, is costing them 50 million euros ($57 million) per month.

Remy Cointreau, which makes Remy Martin and Louis XIII cognac as well as Cointreau orange liqueur, said in an earnings statement that "the conditions required to maintain its 2029-2030 targets are no longer in place".

The group cited "the continued lack of macroeconomic visibility, the geopolitical uncertainties surrounding US-China tariff policies, and the absence to date of a recovery in the US market based on improving underlying trends".

The company had aimed for a recurring operating margin of 33 percent in 2029-2030, compared to 22 percent in the 2024-2025 financial year.

Remy Cointreau said its new chief executive Franck Marilly, who takes over on June 25, "will establish his own strategic roadmap".

The group also reported a net profit of 121 million euros for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, a 34 percent drop from the previous year.

Amazon price rules anti-competitive: German regulator
Frankfurt, Germany (AFP) June 2, 2025
Amazon's pricing rules are an abuse of its market power, Germany's competition watchdog said Monday, paving the way for possible demands for changes to its business practices in Europe's biggest economy. Amazon forces third-party sellers who use its platform to keep prices within limits that the tech giant sets, the Federal Cartel Office said in a statement, reducing the visibility of products that do not keep to its rules or even removing them entirely. "Since Amazon competes directly with othe ... read more
