DOUGLAS Group Sales Growth in Q2 But Adjusted EBITDA Outlook Revised

The DOUGLAS Group achieved a 1.1% increase in sales during Q2 2025/26, marking a total of 949.7 million euros. However, adjusted EBITDA declined by 5.1% to 116.1 million euros, reducing the margin to 12.2%. The premium beauty market, which faces slower growth and consumer uncertainty, has affected profit margins.

Impairments impacted NOCIBÉ and Parfumdreams/Niche Beauty, contributing to a net loss. The company has adjusted its full-year guidance, now anticipating sales at the lower range of 4.65-4.80 billion euros and an EBITDA margin around 16.0%, rather than the previously projected 16.5%.

CEO Sander van der Laan emphasized the company's strategic focus on omnichannel, differentiation, and sustainable growth, essential in the current geopolitical and economic climate. Full financial details for Q2 2025/26 will be released on 12 May 2026.
