Takko Fashion saw a slight decline in sales in the first nine months of the 2025/26 financial year, while its operating result improved. Nevertheless, the textile discounter from Telgte calls it a solid performance.
Gross margin on the rise
Despite a “difficult market environment with continued consumer reluctance,” Takko Fashion says it has “strengthened its market position and increased profitability.” Net sales amounted to €980 million, down 1.0% on the previous year. However, gross operating profit (EBITDA) rose by 6.5% to €159.3 million. According to the company, this increase was mainly due to a clear improvement in the gross margin.
CFO Stefan Macheleidt responded positively: “Against the backdrop of a very strong previous financial year, with record turnover and record EBITDA, and despite cautious consumer sentiment, we have maintained turnover at almost the same level in the first nine months of this year.” For Macheleidt, the adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.3% confirms the business model and the success of the current strategy.
