Fiscal Year 2026

Q1 2026 saw an 11.7% sales decline due to a late winter and French brand transitions, but gross margin and cost control remained solid. Central Europe and online sales grew, while the Performance Uplift program and warehouse consolidation aim to boost efficiency.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Net sales grew 1.6% to EUR 126.6 million, driven by Central Europe and e-commerce, but profitability declined due to weak French performance, higher bad debts, and inventory challenges. FY2026 guidance expects flat sales and EBITDA, with a new performance uplift project underway.

Fiscal Year 2024
