Executive summary
Turnaround strategy and disciplined execution have returned all brands to profitability, with Debenhams leading growth and margin expansion.
The marketplace model is central, now representing 32% of GMV, enabling a stock-lite, capital-lite, and margin-rich business.
The partner ecosystem has doubled to over 20,000 in a year, and all group brands are now marketplace enabled.
Significant operational improvements and cost reductions have been achieved, including a 70% reduction in headcount and £160m in fixed cost savings.
The group is pivoting to fashion-led marketplaces and expects further cost reductions to support EBITDA margin expansion.
Financial highlights
Adjusted EBITDA up £20 million (+5%) year-over-year to £20.0m; margin at 6.7%, up 180 bps.
Loss before tax reduced to £3 million, down 97% year-over-year; statutory loss after tax reduced to £3.4m from £126.7m.
Net debt down 22% to £111 million.
CapEx halved to £7.5 million, down 50% year-over-year.
Inventory reduced by 35% to £67.9m.
Outlook and guidance
Clear line of sight to £1 billion GMV and at least £50 million EBITDA within three years.
FY 2026 adjusted EBITDA expected at £45 million; double-digit growth expected in FY 2027.
Net debt/EBITDA expected to fall below 2x by February 2027 and below 1x the following year.
The board plans to rebrand as Debenhams Plc, believing market valuation is below intrinsic value.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
