Despite a slight decline in sales, Takko Fashion saw its profitability improve in the first half of the 2025/26 financial year. The German fashion discounter is continuing its expansion and modernization in difficult market conditions.
Growth strategy
For the first half of the year ending July 31, adjusted net sales amounted to 631 million euros, a decrease of 0.7% compared to the same period last year. In the second quarter, sales declined by 1.5% to 343.5 million euros. However, adjusted EBITDA rose by 6% to 103.3 million euros. In a press release published on Monday, the retailer spoke of “solid progress toward its growth strategy despite soft market conditions.”
Management sees this as confirmation of its course. “The solid performance reflects the company’s continued focus on improving its proposition and driving operational excellence,” the press release said. In the first half of the year, Takko opened 22 new stores and modernized 74 existing locations across Europe. The goal remains to open 300 new stores within three years. The rollout of the Takko Friends App is also progressing well: it is now available in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy, Slovakia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic and already has more than 8 million members.
