Executive summary
Sales grew 1.7% year-over-year to €1.67 billion in Q1, with e-commerce up 4.2% and store sales up 0.4%, despite a challenging consumer environment and increased price sensitivity.
Adjusted EBITDA declined 5.6% to €333.7 million (margin: 19.9%) due to increased promotional activity and adverse product mix effects.
Net income fell to €144.8 million, with EPS of €1.35.
E-commerce now represents 33.9% of total sales, up 80 bps from last year.
Store network expanded with 13 net new stores and 22 refurbishments, reaching 1,972 stores as of December 2025.
Financial highlights
Gross profit margin decreased by 120bps to 42.4% due to heightened promotional activity and price sensitivity.
Net leverage ratio increased to 2.6x (1.4x pre-IFRS16), reflecting higher lease liabilities from store expansion.
Free cash flow after property rents was €383 million, with net financial debt reduced from €789 million to €609 million.
Average net working capital as a percentage of sales improved to 3.6%, supported by supply chain financing.
CapEx increased by €6 million year-over-year, with 15 store openings and 22 refurbishments.
Outlook and guidance
Full-year guidance confirmed: sales expected between €4.65–4.80 billion, adjusted EBITDA margin around 16.5%, and net leverage between 2.5x and 3.0x by September 2026.
Margin improvement in H2 expected from SG&A efficiency and store ramp-up, despite continued gross margin pressure.
CAPEX (excluding leases) projected at €150 million for the year.
France segment now expected to have sales in line with prior year and a slightly lower adjusted EBITDA margin.
CEE segment expected to maintain adjusted EBITDA margin in line with prior year; Parfumdreams/Niche Beauty now expected to see robust sales growth.

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.
