14 LVMH ANNUAL
REPORT 2003
BECAUSE THEIR TRUST IS
ESSENTIAL TO THE GROUP’S
STRATEGY AND LONG-TERM
DEVELOPMENT, LVMH PAYS
PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO
ITS COMMUNICATION WITH
SHAREHOLDERS.
FULL AND REGULAR REPORTING
Every year, LVMH uses a variety of
communication means in order to pro-
vide its investors with regular, clear
and transparent reporting. The annual
report is available to anyone upon
request. Both the abbreviated annual
report, published in March, and the six-
month interim report presenting the
June 30 earnings are widely distribu-
ted as soon as results are announced.
In 2004, for the second straight year,
LVMH was awarded a Top Com Corpo-
rate Business prize for the quality of its
annual report.
LVMH also organises meetings for sha-
reholders, financial advisers and asset
managers.
The website www.lvmh.com provides
ready and easy access to a wide range
of information which is regularly upda-
ted. It is an ideal source for news about
the Group and its brands at any time.
The section especially designed for
shareholders targets the financial com-
munity and provides easily accessible,
complete and clear information in real
time – information on the current
share price, a calendar of major events
(earnings announcements, sharehol-
ders’ meetings, dividend payments),
press releases and publications. Ear-
nings announcements and annual sha-
reholders’ meetings are systematically
rebroadcast over the Internet, both live
and recorded. LVMH received the Bour-
soscan prize for the best website in
2003.
THE SHAREHOLDERS’ CLUB
– AN EFFORT TO FORM
CLOSER TIES
Designed in 1994 for its individual
French speaking shareholders who are
particularly interested in getting bet-
ter acquainted with the Group, the
LVMH Shareholders’ Club gives mem-
bers the opportunity to learn more
about the Group, its activities and its
brands.
Club members receive the magazine
Apartés, published in French, which
provides news about the Group, arti-
cles on new products, and interviews.
