Revenue declined 3% year-over-year, but Q2 saw a return to marginal growth, with Americas and APAC offsetting EMEA weakness. Strong cash flow, improved gross margin, and continued investment in digital and operational initiatives position the group for future growth.
Fiscal Year 2025

-
Revenue was flat year-over-year with like-for-like sales down 3%, as markets remained softer than expected.
