Summary
The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. reported its fiscal 2025 first quarter financial results on October 31, 2024, announcing a net loss of $156 million, down from net earnings of $31 million in the prior year.

Net sales decreased by 4% to $3.36 billion, and the company withdrew its fiscal 2025 outlook, reducing its dividend to a more appropriate payout ratio. Organic net sales declined by 5%, primarily due to weakened consumer sentiment in China and low conversion rates in Asia travel retail.
