Q1 2026 TU earnings summary15 Jan, 2026

Executive summary

  • Q1 FY26 group revenues rose 4.3% year-over-year at constant currency to €1.4 billion, driven by strong Pepco performance and partially offset by the planned exit from FMCG and softer Dealz results.

  • Like-for-like (LFL) group revenues excluding FMCG increased 3.3%, with Pepco LFL up 4.2% and Dealz LFL down 7.7%.

  • 51 net new stores were opened in Q1, all under the Pepco brand, expanding the total store count to 4,410.

Financial highlights

  • Group gross margin improved by 360bps year-over-year, reaching 49.4%, despite continued price investments.

  • Pepco revenue grew 5.2% year-over-year at constant currency, while Dealz revenue declined 6.2%.

  • December trading was particularly strong, especially in Western Europe, which saw double-digit LFL revenue growth (excluding FMCG).

Outlook and guidance

  • FY26 revenue growth is expected at 6% to 8%, with the FMCG exit estimated to reduce full-year growth by about two percentage points.

  • Underlying EBITDA (IFRS 16) is projected to grow at least 9% year-over-year, despite €25m–€35m in transformation costs.

  • Underlying net earnings growth is expected to exceed 25% year-over-year, supported by higher EBITDA, lower interest costs, and an improved tax rate.

  • Guidance for FY26 remains unchanged.

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.
