During the rst nine months of the 2024/25 nancial year, the DOUGLAS Group continued its growth path with a 2.9% higher Group Sales of EUR 3,593.5 million, compared to the same period of the previous year (9M 2023/24: EUR 3,491.1 million). Group sales growth, excluding the impact of the disposed online pharmacy Disapo (sold in July 2024) is at 3.8%.
All ve segments showed sales increase in the nine months period, with notable performance in segments Central and Eastern Europe (+10.9%) and Parfumdreams/Niche Beauty (+9.3%).
Both our Store and E-Com business showed similar growth rates of 3.1% and 2.6% respectively. Adjusted for the Disapo disposal, the E-Com growth rate would have been at 5.2%. 66.9% of Group sales were generated in our Stores and 33.1% in the E-Com channel.
Our Store business achieved sales growth of 3.1% to EUR 2,405.3 million (9M 2023/24: EUR 2,332.9 million), driven by higher traffic, including the benet from new store openings, with a similar conversion rate and a slightly higher basket size compared to last year. Over the past twelve months, on a net basis, DOUGLAS Group added 55 stores to its network, bringing the total to 1,924 stores.
Our E-Com business recorded solid sales growth of 2.6% to EUR 1,188.1 million (9M 2023/24 EUR 1,158.2 million), driven by a strong increase in the average order size compared to the previous year, with a stable conversion rate but a signicant decrease in the number of visitors to the online shops.

In our largest segment, DACHNL, which comprises the countries Germany, Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands and Belgium, sales in the rst nine months of the current nancial year increased by 2.5% to EUR 1,653.1 million from EUR 1,612.6 million in the same period of the previous year. Our successful and market leading omnichannel business model achieved sales growth in both our Store business (+1.9%) and our E-Com business (+3.4%). In our DACHNL stores, the number of visitors and customers was comparable to last year, and sales growth was driven by a higher average basket size. In our E-Com business, we experienced a signicant decrease in the number of visitors to our online shops, which was more than compensated for by a stronger increase in the average basket size.
In spite of a tougher economic environment in France, which is our second-largest reporting segment, we achieved a resilient performance with market share gain and a sales increase of 0.2% to EUR 679.3 million, compared to the same period last year (9M 2023/24: EUR 678.1 million). Our Store business recorded a at development in sales, with a slight decrease in the number of customers, which was not fully compensated by a higher average basket size. Our E-Com business recorded sales growth of 1.4%.

Our Southern Europe segment (SE) recorded an increase in sales of 3.3% to EUR 539.4 million, compared to the same period last year (9M 2023/24: EUR 522.3 million). Growth was primarily driven by our Store business, which recorded sales growth of 3.7% versus the same period last year. An increase in store visitors in combination with a higher conversion rate more than compensated for a lower average basket size. Growth in our E-Com business was modest with a rate of 0.4% versus the same period last year. In contrary to our Store business, our E-Com business experienced lower visitor numbers, which we more than compensated by a higher average basket size.
Our Central and Eastern Europe segment (CEE) achieved the highest growth rate within the DOUGLAS Group. Sales increased by 10.9% to EUR 561.0 million (9M 2023/24: EUR 505.8 million). This means that CEE has now overtaken our SE segment as the third largest segment within the Group. Store sales increased 9.1% versus last year, driven by 5% likefor-like sales growth and additional sales from 31 net store openings over the past twelve months. Our E-Com business continued its high growth path with a 17.2% increase compared to the same period last year. Growth was roughly twothirds based on a higher average basket size and one-third by more orders.
Our Parfumdreams/Niche Beauty segment continued its growth path and achieved the second-largest percentage growth in the Group, with sales rising from EUR 147.1 million to EUR 160.8 million (+9.3%). Sales benetted from a more effective commercial approach of Parfumdreams as well as ongoing strong development at Niche Beauty.

EBITDA in the rst nine months of the 2024/25 nancial year signicantly increased by 8.5% to EUR 626.7 million, compared to the same period last year (9M 2023/24: 577.4 million). Our EBITDA benetted from signicantly lower adjustments, while the Group's adjusted EBITDA decreased by 3.5% to EUR 634.1 million in the rst nine months of the 2024/25 nancial year, compared to the same period last year (9M 2023/24: 657.1 million). All segments, except for the CEE segment, recorded a low to mid-single digit decrease. The reduced level of protability resulted mainly from the effects of a promotional environment, reecting a more price-sensitive customer sentiment as compared to a year ago. However, the DOUGLAS Group managed to mitigate a signicant portion of the pressure on gross prot margins through various countermeasures, such as improving the marketing and logistic expenses ratios.
In our DACHNL segment, adjusted EBITDA decreased from EUR 342.4 million to EUR 327.9 million (-4.2%). The majority of the decrease is due to the reallocation of sublease income to the Corporate Headquarter segment. In addition, the gross prot margin was slightly lower and the personnel expenses ratio slightly rose.
In France, adjusted EBITDA decreased from EUR 151.1 million to EUR 139.9 million (-7.4%). The main reasons for this decrease is a decline in the gross prot margin due to a more competitive environment and increased IT charges due to the new systems rollout in the previous year. Savings were realized in marketing and housing expenses.
Our Southern Europe segment recorded a 1.5% decrease in adjusted EBITDA to EUR 120.9 million (9M 2023/24: EUR 122.7 million). This reduction is largely attributable to a positive one-time effect with regard to supplier bonuses in the previous year. Excluding this effect, adjusted EBITDA would have been slightly higher compared to last year.

Our Central and Eastern Europe segment recorded 1.3% growth in adjusted EBITDA to EUR 137.1 million (9M 2023/34: 135.4 million). The contribution to EBITDA from higher sales outweighs a combination of store roll-out related costs and some inationary pressure in personnel expenses and property costs.
Our Parfumdreams/Niche Beauty segment saw its adjusted EBITDA decrease by 37.4% to EUR 5.5 million in the rst nine months of the 2024/25 nancial year, compared to the same period last year (9M 2023/24: EUR 8.7 million). Despite lower personnel expenses compared to last year, lower supplier bonuses impacted the gross margin and led to the reported decline.

As of 30 June 2025, the average last twelve months ("LTM") net working capital at DOUGLAS Group level was equal to EUR 227.9 million, slightly below (EUR 232.4 million). The development is attributable to a slight increase in inventory levels, primarily linked with the sales growth and the opening of new stores, which was mostly offset by a higher average of trade payables and other net working capital components, particularly benetting from a new supply chain nancing program introduced in March 2025. Overall, the DOUGLAS Group was able to slightly reduce the average net working capital while the Group sales increased, translating into an improved average net working capital ratio from 5.3% as of June 2024 to 5.0% as of June 2025.
In DACHNL, the average net working capital as a percentage of LTM net sales fell from -0.8% to -2.2%. While sales increased by EUR 90.7 million, average net working capital fell by EUR 30.3 million to EUR -45.7 million benetting from the new supply chain nancing program.
In France, the average net working capital as a percentage of LTM net sales rose by 1.3 percentage points from 8.3% to 9.6%. While sales remain stable at EUR 839.4 million, the average net working capital increased by EUR 10.8 million, mainly driven by higher average inventories and average total trade receivables.
In Southern Europe, the average net working capital as a percentage of LTM net sales fell by 0.1 percentage points from 7.9% to 7.8%. In the rst nine months of the reporting year, sales increased by EUR 30.5 million, and the average net working capital increased by EUR 2.0 million.
In Central Eastern Europe, the average net working capital as a percentage of LTM net sales rose by 0.5 percentage points from 15.8% to 16.3%. In the rst nine months of the reporting year, sales increased by EUR 74.1 million, while average net working capital increased by EUR 15.3 million.
In the Parfumdreams/Niche Beauty reporting segment, average net working capital as a percentage of LTM net sales fell by 6.5 percentage points from 12.0% to 5.6%. While sales increased by EUR 16.6 million, average net working capital fell by EUR 11.2 million to EUR 11.3 million. The decline was mainly driven by a lower average inventory level subsequent to the integration of Parfumdreams into the German OWAC "One Warehouse, All Channels".

During the rst nine months of the 2024/25 nancial year, Douglas Group achieved a net sales growth of 2.9% to EUR 3,593.5 million, driven by solid performances across both Stores and E-com channels. Cost of goods sold increased at a higher rate of 5.2%, from EUR 1,895.9 million to EUR 1,994.7 million, primarily due to supplier side price increases. The gross prot slightly increased from EUR 1,595.3 million to EUR 1,598.7 million, resulting in a slight decrease in the gross prot margin from 45.7% to 44.5%, reecting an increased promotional intensity to activate customers in an environment of reduced consumer sentiment. Other operating income rose by 6.2%, to EUR 251.4 million (9M 2023/24: EUR 236.6 million), largely driven by higher marketing contributions from suppliers.
Personnel expenses were reduced from EUR 526.2 million in the previous year to EUR 515.7 million this year, thanks to effective cost management and lowered performance-based bonus accrual assumptions, due to revised performance expectations. The achieved savings resulted in an improved ratio to net sales, which decreased from 15.1% to 14.4%.
Other operating expenses decreased by EUR 20.5 million, from EUR 728.2 million in the previous year to EUR 707.7 million in the current year. This reduction was achieved by maintaining stable marketing and advertising costs, goods handling expenses, and other services relative to sales. Furthermore, the logistic costs ratio to net sales remained stable compared to the previous year.
Reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose by 8.5% from EUR 577.4 million to EUR 626.7 million in the period. The EBITDA margin increased from 16.5% to 17.4%.
Adjustments to reported EBITDA amounted to EUR 7.4 million in the rst nine months of the 2024/2025 nancial year, compared to EUR 79.7 million in the previous year. These adjustments primarily stem from consulting expenses linked to the 'Let it Bloom' strategy, as well as strategic initiatives like OWAC ('One Warehouse All Channels') and the headquarters relocation in France. Unlike last year, where adjustments included IPO consultancy costs and provisions for shareholder disputes, these factors no longer impacted this year's adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA decreased from EUR 657.1 million last year to EUR 634.1 million this year, reecting a 3.5% decline.

Further information
Depreciation and amortization increased by 11.5%, rising from EUR 255.9 million to EUR 285.4 million, mainly as a result of higher depreciation charges related to our growing store network and our IT investments, as well as impairments of intangible assets. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased by 6,2%, from EUR 321.5 million to EUR 341.3 million.
The nancial result improved to EUR -97.7 million compared to EUR -260.4 million in the same period last year, thanks to the signicantly reduced interest charges, reecting the signicant reduction in debt and the new nancing structure post-IPO as well as the repayment of the bridge nancing completed in March 2025. Earnings before taxes (EBT) increased signicantly, rising from EUR 61.1 million in the comparative period to EUR 243.6 million this reporting period.
Due to higher taxable income, income taxes rose by EUR 33.4 million to EUR 82.3 million in the reporting period and the effective tax rate amounted to 33.8% (vs. 80.0% in the comparative period).
Overall, the prot for the rst nine months of the 2024/2025 scal year strongly increased from EUR 12.2 million in the previous year to EUR 161.3 million in the current year.

| Net cash flow from financing activities | -418.9 | -623.0 |
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | -6.2 | -157.8 |
Cash inow from operating activities decreased from EUR 552.8 million to EUR 525.9 million (-4.9%) in the reporting period. The increase in EBITDA was more than offset mainly by a decrease in provisions of EUR 27.4 million compared to an increase of EUR 14.7 million in the same period of the previous year and a net working capital cash ow effect (excluding liabilities from investments in xed assets and supply chain nancing) of EUR -49.9 million compared to EUR -29.1 million in the same period of the previous year.
Investments as part of the "Let it Bloom – Douglas 2026" strategy, particularly in the store business, led to a 29.1% or EUR 25.5 million increase in cash outow from investing activities (EUR 113.1 million vs. EUR 87.6 million in the same period last year).
Free cash ow decreased by 11.3% to EUR 412.8 million in the reporting period compared to the same period last year.
The net cash ow from nancing activities amounted to EUR -418.9 million in the reporting period, compared with EUR -623.0 million in the rst nine months of the 2023/2024 scal year. While the comparative period (9M-2024/2025) was marked by cash effects from the IPO and renancing, the reporting period was characterized in particular by the cash outow for the complete repayment of the bridge nancing in the nominal amount of EUR 450 million, partly offset by the cash inow from the raising of new promissory note loans in the nominal amount of EUR 200 million. In addition, the raising of other bank loans (liability as of the reporting date: EUR 13.9 million) and supply chain nancing (in the amount of EUR 132.7 million as of the reporting date) led to further cash inows from nancing activities. Due to the renancing, interest payments fell to EUR 121.1 million in the reporting period (vs. EUR 253.3 million in the comparative period).
Overall, these effects contributed to a net change in cash and cash equivalents of EUR -6.2 million in the reporting period, compared to EUR -157.8 million in the same period last year.

The DOUGLAS Group's net debt amounted to EUR 2,133.0 million as of the balance sheet date (previous year: EUR 2,194.0 million), which corresponds to a reduction of 2.8%. While the repayment of the bridge nancing, partially offset by the raising of the promissory note loan, reduced nancial liabilities by around EUR 239.7 million, IFRS 16 lease liabilities increased by EUR 165.4 million due to ongoing expansion, store contract renewals and new contracts for warehouses and headquarter offices.
The Leverage, expressed as the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA for the last 12 months, decreased from 2.8x to 2.7x.

Total assets increased by EUR 91.7 million from EUR 4,481.3 million to EUR 4,573.1 million compared to the end of the scal year on September 30, 2024. Non-current assets increased by EUR 89.5 million to EUR 3,325.7 million, mainly due to the increase in rights of use from lease agreements. Current assets rose by EUR 2.2 million to EUR 1,247.3 million, mainly due to the increase in inventories and other assets, partially offset by the decline in other nancial assets. Compared to September 30, 2024, total liabilities decreased by a total of EUR 70.2 million, mainly due to the decline in non-current other nancial liabilities by EUR 132.3 million as a result of the repayment of the bridge nancing (Facility A). In contrast, liabilities from supply chain nancing increased by EUR 132.7 million and IFRS 16 lease liabilities, in line with the Group's expansion, rose by EUR 102.0 million compared to the end of the 2023/2024 scal year.

Further information
The DOUGLAS Group successfully concluded the third quarter of the 2024/2025 nancial year on a growth path. The DOUGLAS Group also remains fully convinced of the successful implementation of its "Let it Bloom - DOUGLAS 2026" growth strategy. The DOUGLAS Group today conrmed its outlook for the current nancial year. While the overall guidance remains unchanged, the company expects sales to be slightly above EUR 4.5 billion (previously around EUR 4.5 billion). The expectation of adj. EBITDA margin of around 17%, net income of around EUR 175 million and average NWC of less than 5% of Group sales remains unchanged. In consideration of the global macroeconomic and political developments, the DOUGLAS Group will set up a new mid-term forecast as part of the business planning for the upcoming years and will thus comment on that at the full-year reporting in December.
