The Armani Group's exploits saw net revenues of €2.35 billion in 2022, up 16.5% from the previous year. Armani reported a 24% increase in European sales and a 19.5% increase in American sales. During the year, investments in communication increased (+22% compared to 2021), as did investments in the group's digital and IT structure, as well as in store restructuring and development (+25%). The financial statements ended with a pre-tax net profit of 218 million euros, an increase of 16.4% over 2021 and a 24.5% increase over pre-pandemic levels in 2019. "The medium-long term strategic path that I have chosen to pursue," said Chairman and CEO Giorgio Armani, "continues to prove effective, and the results prove it: 2022 ended with further growth, which continues in the first quarter of 2023, confirming the group's solidity". "In an increasingly difficult and competitive environment", he added, "I am proud to have maintained my independence as well as the group's stability." Armani dresses are now among the stars of the Cannes Film Festival. They were worn on the red carpet by Nanni Moretti, Margherita Buy (the film's protagonist), Yao Chen (the actress from "The Pot-au-Feu"), and Sofia Resing. Among the brand's fans are director Martin Scorsese (on the red carpet of "Killers of the Flower Moon") and actor Robert De Niro (among the film's protagonists).
