Search every verified Stephane de la Faverie interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Stéphane de La Faverie, president and chief executive officer of the Estée Lauder Companies, discussed the company's recent performance and strategy in August 2026 appearances. Following the company's fiscal fourth-quarter results, which he said topped estimates, de La Faverie stated the company has "great momentum" and is expanding margins. He noted four consecutive quarters of organic growth, with the most recent quarter exceeding 6% in net sales growth, and provided guidance of 3% to 5% growth for the next fiscal year. De La Faverie attributed the performance to the "Beauty Reimagined" strategy announced 18 months prior, describing it as "promise made. Promise kept," and said the company is accelerating innovation and investing in consumer acquisition. De La Faverie also addressed specific business areas, including travel retail, which he said represents about 15% of the business, a lower percentage than historically, allowing the company to better navigate volatility. He reported that travel retail returned to growth in June and July for the first time in three years, with double-digit growth in Hainan. Regarding mergers and acquisitions, he said the company's focus remains on growing its core business. He also confirmed that the company has resumed shipping to Saks following its bankruptcy and expressed satisfaction with that partnership.
