Ermenegildo Zegna N.V. Q3 2024 Earnings: Weathering the Storm
Challenging Environment Takes Its Toll
Gildo Zegna, Chairman and CEO, took to the stage to discuss Ermenegildo Zegna’s Q3 2024 revenues, just a month after sharing the company’s H1 results and strategy update. The Q3 performance was marked by an increasingly difficult environment, particularly in the Greater China region. As expected, the direct-to-consumer (DTC) channel struggled, while wholesale performance also took a hit due to ongoing door rationalization at Thom Browne and conversion of wholesale to concession models.
A Glimmer of Hope in the Americas and EMEA
However, it wasn’t all doom and gloom. The ZEGNA brand shone bright in the Americas and EMEA regions, posting double-digit growth thanks to the success of its second drop. August proved to be the most challenging month, but September saw a slight uptick, offering a glimmer of hope for the luxury fashion brand.
Navigating the Challenges Ahead
Gianluca Tagliabue, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and Paola Durante, Chief of External Relations, joined Gildo Zegna on the call, providing further insights into the company’s strategy and plans to navigate the current headwinds. With the ongoing door rationalization and conversion of wholesale to concession models, the company is taking proactive steps to adapt to the changing market landscape.

- Q3 DTC performance impacted by challenging environment in Greater China region
