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.

Financial highlights
Gross margin remained stable at 34.9%, with gross profit rising to €1,257.3 million.
Free cash flow after net CapEx and dividend improved to €129.6 million, mainly due to reduced working capital outflow.

Equity ratio increased to 46.9%, and net debt-to-EBITDA improved to 2.4.
Consolidated net income for 6M was €178.9 million, with EPS at €10.74.
Outlook and guidance
Full-year guidance confirmed: net sales expected at or slightly above prior year (€6,200 million), with adjusted EBIT to remain at or above €269.5 million.
