Executive summary
Net sales grew 4.4% year-over-year to €3,599.1 million in the first half of 2025/26, driven by strong spring and summer seasons, increased customer footfall, and robust e-commerce growth, with online sales reaching 13.1% of total sales.

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.
