The Company commented : " Revenues for the nine months showed solid growth compared to last year thanks to the gradual reopening of commercial distribution . People's movements are also partially gradually increasing and only international tourism continues to remain well below pre - Covid level . Caution is still the order of the day , however . In fact , if on the one hand the level of infections and the health situation have shown a general improvement in the main Western European countries and in North America , allowing , starting from the second quarter , a progressive reopening of the entire distribution network , on the other hand there has been a recent increase in infections , first in some areas of South - East Asia and then in Eastern Europe , characterised by a low vaccination rate , with the reintroduction of temporary lockdown measures , for example in China , Vietnam and Russia . 1
