Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by Euro 42.8 million, or 9.7 percent, to Euro 481.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 from Euro 438.8 million for the same period in 2008, primarily attributable to our overall sales increase. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased to 34.4 percent for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, as compared to 32.4 percent for the same period in 2008, mainly due to the impact of fixed costs on declining volumes. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, the average number of frames produced daily in our facilities decreased to approximately 208,000, as compared to 228,400 for the same period in 2008, which was attributable to decreased production in both the Italian and Chinese manufacturing facilities because of the overall decrease in demand.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by Euro 87.9 million, or 5.9 percent, to Euro 1,575.6 million in 2007, from Euro 1,487.7 million in 2006, primarily attributable to our overall sales growth and the inclusion of Oakley’s cost of sales for the period from the acquisition date of Euro 37.6 million. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 31.7 percent in 2007, as compared to 31.8 percent in 2006. In 2007, excluding the frames manufactured at our acquired Oakley facilities, the average number of frames produced daily in our facilities increased to approximately 175,800, as compared to 154,900 in 2006, which was attributable to increased production in both the Italian and Chinese manufacturing facilities.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by 8.3 percent to Euro 1,487.7 million in 2006, from Euro 1,373.1 million in 2005, primarily attributable to our overall sales growth. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 31.8 percent from 33.2 percent.  This decrease as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the change in sales mix resulting from increased sales of our Ray-Ban brand and sales of branded products of our designer lines, Prada, Bvlgari and Dolce & Gabbana, which carry a higher gross margin than other lines, increased efficiency in our manufacturing facilities leveraging the fixed cost structure to produce more frames, and increased production to cover the additional demand for our products. In 2006, the average number of frames produced daily in Luxottica’s facilities was approximately 154,900 as compared to 115,000 for the same period of 2005, attributable to increased production in the Tristar facility, as well as improved productivity in our Italian factories.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by 29.3 percent to Euro 1,316.7 million in 2005 from Euro 1,018.6 million in 2004. Cost of sales in the retail segment increased by Euro 273.5 million, which increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of Cole in our results of operations for three months in 2004 compared to a full 12 months in 2005. Cost of sales in the manufacturing and wholesale segment increased by Euro 68.6 million due to the increase in net sales. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 31.8 percent from 32.0 percent. This was mostly attributable to the placement of more Luxottica manufactured products in our newly acquired Cole retail locations. Manufacturing labor costs increased by 17.3 percent to Euro 301.3 million in 2005 from Euro 256.9 million in 2004. This increase is attributable to the increase in net sales. As a percentage of net sales, cost of labor decreased to 7.3 percent in 2005 from 8.1 percent in 2004, due to higher productivity in the wholesale division, as well as due to the inclusion of Cole results, since Cole’s cost of labor as a percentage of sales is lower than that of the rest of the Group. For 2005, the average number of frames produced daily in our facilities (including Tristar, our Chinese factory) was approximately 125,000, which was in line with 2004 production.

For the second quarter of 2006, the average number of frames produced daily in Luxottica’s facilities was approximately 154,000 as compared to 114,000 for the same period of 2005, due to increased production capacity in the Tristar facility, as well as improved productivity in our Italian factories.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased 4.5 percent to Euro 903.6 million in 2003, from Euro 946.1 million in 2002, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 31.7 percent from 29.6 percent, respectively. Manufacturing labor costs decreased 7.8 percent to Euro 240.9 million in 2003 from Euro 261.2 million in 2002. As a percentage of net sales, cost of labor increased to 8.4 percent in 2003 from 8.2 percent in 2002. The increase in cost of sales, including manufacturing labor costs, as a percentage of net sales, was mainly attributable to the currency translation of our unit sales, denominated in U.S. dollars, to Euro, such that the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro increased our average cost of sales with respect to our unit sales denominated in U.S. dollars. For 2003, the average number of frames produced daily in Luxottica’s facilities (including Tristar and that of the newly acquired IC Optics) was approximately 123,000 as compared to 131,000 for 2002.

Cost of sales in the retail segment increased by Euro 73.5 million, primarily due to the inclusion of Cole’s cost of sales in our results of operations from the date of acquisition on October 4, 2004, partially offset by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro. Cost of sales in the manufacturing and wholesale segment increased by Euro 17.1 million due to the increase in net sales.
