Note 1. Business activity and key events during the fiscal year Christian Dior SE is a listed holding company which, as of December 31, 2025, directly owned a 42.17% equity stake in LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE, a listed company. Note 2. Accounting policies and methods General framework and changes in accounting policies Christian Dior's parent company financial statements are prepared in accordance with French law and regulations, including in particular the general chart of accounts (PCG) established by ANC Regulation 2014-03, as amended by subsequent regulations, including ANC Regulation 2022-06 applicable as of January 1, 2025, entailing changes to the presentation of the income statement. General accounting conventions have been applied observing the principle of prudence in accordance with the basic assumptions of going concern, consistency of accounting methods, and accrual basis, and in accordance with the general rules for the preparation and presentation of parent company financial statements. Items recognized in the accounts are measured at historical cost. Intangible assets Software is amortized using the straight-line method over one year. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: furniture: 10 years. Non-current financial assets Equity investments and other long-term investments are recognized at acquisition cost (excluding incidental costs) or at contribution value. If their value in use as of the fiscal year-end is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recorded in the amount of the difference. For investments in listed companies, the value in use is generally estimated on the basis of market capitalization, the share of the company's adjusted net asset value and/or discounted forecast cash flows. The value in use of unlisted investments is generally estimated on the basis of the share of the adjusted net asset value of the companies concerned, market comparables and/or discounted forecast cash flows. Christian Dior shares purchased for retirement are recorded under "Non-current financial assets" and are not impaired. In accordance with Regulation 2015-06 of the Autorité des Normes Comptables (France's accounting standards authority) dated November 23, 2015, merger losses allocated to non-current financial assets are recognized under a specific line item within the asset category concerned: "Merger losses on financial assets". Technical losses, in the amount of the equity investment previously held by the absorbing entity, correspond to unrealized gains on assets, whether recognized or not in the accounts of the absorbed entity, after deducting, unless otherwise required under accounting rules, liabilities not recognized in the accounts of the absorbed entity. At the end of each fiscal year, the net carrying amount of each asset transferred, plus the associated technical loss, is assessed. Where applicable, if this value is lower than the real value of these assets, impairment is recorded. Technical losses are reduced proportionately upon the sale or disposal of the assets concerned. Receivables and payables Receivables and payables are recognized at their nominal amount. Impairment is recorded if their net realizable value, based on the probability of their collection, is lower than their carrying amount. Short-term investments Short-term investments are valued at their acquisition cost. Impairment is recorded if their acquisition cost is higher than their market value determined as follows: listed securities: average listed share price over the last month of the fiscal year; other securities: estimated realizable value or liquidation value. Equity In accordance with the recommendations of the French National Institute of Statutory Auditors (Compagnie Nationale des Commissaires aux Comptes) , interim dividends are recorded as a deduction from equity. Provisions for contingencies and losses The Company establishes a provision for definite and likely contingencies and losses at the end of each fiscal year, observing the principle of prudence. Note 3. Subsequent events Net financial income/(expense) Due to its type of activity, the Company records sales of securities according to the following principles: gains or losses on sales of equity investments (titres de participation) are calculated using the weighted average cost method; gains or losses on sales of short-term investments (valeurs mobilières de placement) are calculated using the "first in, first out" (FIFO) method. As of January 27, 2026, the date on which the financial statements were approved for publication, no subsequent events had occurred that would call into question the assumptions used in preparing the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Equity Share capital a three-year vesting period, without any subsequent holding period. The plans combine awards of bonus shares and of performance shares in proportions determined in accordance with the recipient's level in the hierarchy and status. Vesting of such shares does not lead to any dilution for shareholders, since they are allocations of existing shares. No Christian Dior bonus share or performance share plans were in effect during the fiscal year. As of December 31, 2025, the share capital consisted of 180,507,516 fully paid-up shares, with a par value of 2 euros per share, including 176,438,535 shares with double voting rights.

Statutory Auditors' report on the parent company financial statements To the Shareholders' Meeting of Christian Dior SE Opinion In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by the Shareholders' Meeting, we have audited the accompanying parent company financial statements of Christian Dior SE for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. In our opinion, the parent company financial statements give a true and fair view of the Company's assets, liabilities and financial position as of December 31, 2025 and of the results of its operations for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with French accounting principles. The audit opinion expressed above is consistent with our report to the Performance Audit Committee. Basis for our opinion Audit framework We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the section of our report entitled "Statutory Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the parent company financial statements". Independence We conducted our audit engagement in compliance with the independence rules provided by the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for Statutory Auditors, for the period from January 1, 2025 to the date of our report. We did not provide any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014. Observation Without calling into question the opinion expressed above, we draw attention to the impact of the initial application of ANC Regulation 2022-06 set out in Note 2.1 to the parent company financial statements. Justification of assessments - Key audit matters In accordance with the requirements of Articles L. 821-53 and R. 821-180 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) relating to the justification of our assessments, we are required to inform you of the key audit matters relating to risks of material misstatement which, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company financial statements for the fiscal year, as well as how we addressed those risks. We determined that there were no key audit matters to disclose in our report. Specific verifications We also performed, in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the specific verifications required by laws and regulations. Information provided in the Management Report and in the other documents given to shareholders related to the financial position and the parent company financial statements We have no matters to report as to the fair presentation and the consistency with the parent company financial statements of the information provided in the Management Report of the Board of Directors and in the other documents given to shareholders related to the financial position and the parent company financial statements. We attest to the fair presentation and the consistency with the parent company financial statements of the information on payment terms set out in Article D. 441-6 of the French Commercial Code. Information on corporate governance We attest that the Board of Directors' report on corporate governance sets out the information required by Articles L. 225-37-4, L. 22-10-10 and L. 22-10-9 of the French Commercial Code. Concerning the information provided in accordance with the requirements of Article L. 22-10-9 of the French Commercial Code relating to compensation and benefits paid or awarded to company officers and any other commitments made in their favor, we have verified its consistency with the financial statements or the underlying information used to prepare these financial statements and, where applicable, with the information obtained by your Company from controlled companies included in the scope of consolidation. Based on this work, we attest to the accuracy and fair presentation of this information. With respect to the information relating to items that your Company considered likely to have an impact in the event of a public purchase or exchange offer, provided pursuant to Article L. 22-10-11 of the French Commercial Code, we verified their compliance with the source documents communicated to us. Based on our work, we have no observations to make on this information. Other information In accordance with French law, we have verified that the required information concerning the acquisition of equity stakes and controlling interests, as well as the identity of the shareholders and holders of the voting rights, has been properly disclosed in the Management Report. Other verifications or information required by laws and regulations Presentation format for the parent company financial statements to be included in the Annual Financial Report In accordance with the professional standards governing the procedures to be carried out by the Statutory Auditor on parent company and consolidated financial statements presented in the European Single Electronic Format, we also checked compliance with this format as defined by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of December 17, 2018 in the presentation of the parent company financial statements to be included in the Annual Financial Report mentioned in Article L. 451-1-2 I of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier) , prepared under the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer, a member of the Executive Committee, under delegation from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. On the basis of our work, we concluded that the presentation of the parent company financial statements to be included in the Annual Financial Report complies, in all material respects, with the European Single Electronic Format. It is not our responsibility to check that the parent company financial statements actually included by your Company in the Annual Financial Report filed with the AMF correspond to those on which we performed our work. Appointment of the Statutory Auditors We were appointed as Statutory Auditors of Christian Dior SE by the shareholders at the Shareholders' Meetings held on April 21, 2022 (for Deloitte & Associés) and April 17, 2025 (for BDO). As of December 31, 2025, Deloitte & Associés was in the fourth consecutive year of its engagement and BDO was in its first year. Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company financial statements in accordance with French accounting principles and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the parent company financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, for disclosing any matters related to going concern, and for using the going concern basis of accounting unless it is expected to liquidate the Company or to cease operations. The Performance Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of internal control and risk management systems and where applicable, internal audit, regarding accounting and financial reporting procedures. The parent company financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors. Statutory Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the parent company financial statements Objectives and audit approach Our role is to issue a report on the parent company financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the parent company financial statements taken as a whole are free from material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As specified in Article L. 821-55 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) , our statutory audit does not include assurance on the viability or the quality of management of your Company. As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the Statutory Auditor exercises professional judgment throughout the audit. The Statutory Auditor also: identifies and assesses the risks of material misstatement of the parent company financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; designs and performs audit procedures responsive to those risks; and obtains audit evidence considered to be sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for its opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or overriding internal control; obtains an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control; assesses the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management in the parent company financial statements; assesses the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of its audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. If the Statutory Auditor concludes that a material uncertainty exists, there is a requirement to draw attention in the audit report to the related disclosures in the parent company financial statements or, if such disclosures are not provided or inadequate, to issue a qualified or adverse audit opinion; assesses the overall presentation of the parent company financial statements and whether these statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Report to the Performance Audit Committee We submit a report to the Performance Audit Committee which includes in particular a description of the scope of the audit and the audit program implemented, as well as the results of our audit. We also report any significant deficiencies in internal control regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures that we have identified. Our report to the Performance Audit Committee includes the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the parent company financial statements for the fiscal year and which are therefore the key audit matters that we are required to describe in this report. We also provide the Performance Audit Committee with the declaration provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014, confirming our independence within the meaning of the rules applicable in France such as they are set out in particular by Articles L. 821-27 to L. 821-34 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and in the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for Statutory Auditors. We discuss any risks that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and the related safeguards, with the Performance Audit Committee.
