Biadene di Montebelluna, March 11th 2026 – Geox S.p.A., leading brand in classic and casual footwear listed on the Euronext Milan (GEO.MI) market managed by Borsa Italiana, has reviewed the 2025 Draft Financial Statements and the 2025 Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Chief Executive Officer Francesco Di Giovanni commented: “2025 was for Geox a year of deep revision of the operating model, leading to a significant reduction of the cost base, the first benefits of which have already emerged during the financial year just ended.
In a market environment still impacted by a contraction in sector consumption, which led the Group to record a sales decline of 5.3% versus the same period last year on a comparable basis, the initiatives undertaken have already delivered tangible results: the net loss for the year was halved compared to 2024, and the bank debt significantly reduced, standing at Euro 92.6 million.

During 2025 Geox accelerated a series of initiatives aimed at strengthening margins and rationalizing less profitable distribution channels, enhancing at the same time the efficiency and sustainability of its own operating model, through the optimization of fixed costs and an increased capacity to absorb them.
To support its future targets, new patented products were developed during the year, allowing us to look forward to the next phase of growth with renewed determination.
Leveraging its expertise and technological innovation capabilities, Geox is preparing to launch revolutionary solutions initially targeted at its own retail network. The technological components, which have always been the core part of the brand's heritage and value, have been brought back to the center of the Group's research and development strategy, as well as its commercial and marketing activities.
The Company has also entrusted the style development of the entire adult collection, and in particular the women's collection for the SS27 season, to a globally renowned design studio which is an international benchmark in footwear design. This collaboration brought fresh creative and stylistic energy to the Geox brand's offerings and will further strengthen its positioning and appeal in the markets."
GROUP OPERATING PERFORMANCE
2025 was impacted by a sales decline of approximately Euro 55.1 million (-8.3%) compared to the previous year. Excluding the impact of the closure of the subsidiaries in China and United States, and of certain non-profitable channels, the decline amounts to Euro 34.4 million (-5.3%).
In order to face these challenges, during the second half of 2025 the management has implemented a plan to resize the Group's operational structure which, combined with the efficiency measures already ongoing for several months, enabled further savings on operating costs structure for about Euro 27.4 million.
Thanks to these measures and their timely execution the adjusted EBIT, net of non-recurring items, is in line with previous year and amounts to Euro 9.0 million (Euro 8.8 million in 2024), despite sales decline.
In the same way, the operating result (EBIT) is in line with previous year, since non-recurring costs linked with the process of business model transformation amounted to Euro 12.1 million, compared to Euro 13.0 million in 2024.
2025 net loss, amounting to Euro 16.2 million, is nearly halved compared to Euro 30.3 million in 2024, mainly thanks to a lower impact of financial income and expenses. It should be noted that such difference compared to 2024, is due to both the movement in the Ruble valuation, for approximately Euro 10 million of exchange rates, and to lower interests expenses, for approximately Euro 1.7 million.
Below is a summary of the Group's results:
- Sales: Euro 608.7 million, down 8.3% compared to 2024;
- Adjusted EBITDA excluding IFRS16 impact: Euro 24.8 million, compared to Euro 26.2 million in 2024;
- Adjusted Operating Result (EBIT): Euro 9.0 million, compared to Euro 8.8 million in 2024;
- Adjusted Net Result: Euro -4.1 million, compared to Euro -17.3 million in 2024.

SALES
Consolidated sales for 2025 amount to Euro 608.7 million, down 8.3% compared to the previous year (-8.5% at constant exchange rates). Excluding the impact of the closure of the subsidiaries in China and United States, and of certain non-profitable channels, the decline amounts to Euro 34.4 million (-5.3%).
Sales by Distribution channel
| (Thousands of Euro) | 2025 | % | 2024 | % | Var. % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wholesale | 194,280 | 31.9% | 217,134 | 32.7% | (10.5%) |
| Retail | 249,204 | 40.9% | 261,183 | 39.3% | (4.6%) |
| Web | 165,169 | 27.2% | 185,444 | 28.0% | (10.9%) |
| Total Sales | 608,653 | 100.0% | 663,761 | 100.0% | (8.3%) |
Wholesale channel sales amount to Euro 194.3 million, accounting for 31.9% of total Group sales (32.7% in 2024), and recorded a decrease of 10.5% at current exchange rates (-10.6% at constant exchange rates) compared to Euro 217.1 million in 2024. Excluding the impact of the closure of the subsidiaries in China and the United States, the decrease is equal to Euro 17.9 million (-8.4%). This performance reflects a lower orders intake for the SS25 and FW25 collections compared to the previous year, across all key markets.
Starting from this fiscal year, the Wholesale channel includes, in addition to sales to multi-brand stores, also sales to Geox mono-brand franchised stores operating under a "Wholesale-like" model.
CERTIFIED
Retail channel sales amount to Euro 249.2 million, accounting for 40.9% of total Group sales, decreasing compared to Euro 261.2 million in 2024 (-4.6% at current exchange rates, -4.7% at constant exchange rates). Excluding the impact of the closure of the subsidiaries in China and the United States, the decrease amounts to Euro 8.4 million (-3.3%). This reduction is attributable to a negative net perimeter effect of approximately Euro 3.7 million, due to store closures, and to a performance effect of approximately Euro 4.7 million due to a deterioration in store traffic, mainly recorded in the second half of 2025, which intensified in the last quarter of the year.
Starting from this fiscal year, the Retail channel includes, in addition to DOS B&M sales, sales generated from Geox mono-brand franchised stores operating under a “Direct to Consumer- like” model (In-Deal – Retail).
As for the distribution perimeter, the number of directly operated physical stores (DOS B&M) decreased from 240 in December 2024 to 235 in December 2025, while the number of franchised points of sale (In-Deal – Retail) was reduced from 141 to 106 over the same period.
Sales generated through digital channels - which, starting from this year, include the owned website and marketplaces, both directly managed and operating under a Wholesale model - recorded a decrease of 10.9% compared to December 2024, partly as a result of a rationalization of web channels initiated in the second half of the current financial year. Excluding the impact of the closure of the subsidiaries in China and the United States, the decrease amounts to Euro 12.1 million (-6.8%). It is worth mentioning the positive LFL performance of +4.6% of the owned website, which partially offsets the negative performance of the channel.
Sales by Region
| (Thousands of Euro) | 2025 | % | 2024 | % | Var. % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Italy | 179,177 | 29.4% | 187,537 | 28.3% | (4.5%) |
| Europe (*) | 290,748 | 47.8% | 300,339 | 45.2% | (3.2%) |
| Other countries | 138,728 | 22.8% | 175,885 | 26.5% | (21.1%) |

(*) Europe includes: Austria, Benelux, France, Germany, UK, Iberia, Scandinavia, Switzerland.
Sales generated in Italy account for 29.4% of the Group’s total sales (28.3% in 2024), and amount to Euro 179.2 million, down by 4.5% (-4.5% at constant exchange rates) compared to Euro 187.5 million in 2024. This decrease is primarily attributable to the performance of Wholesale channel (-8.7%) and Retail channel (-4.1%), only partially offset by the positive performance of the Web channel (+5.4%).
Sales generated in Europe represent 47.8% of total Group sales (45.2% in 2024), amounting to Euro 290.7 million, compared to Euro 300.3 million in 2024, marking a decrease of 3.2% (-3.1% at constant exchange rates), driven by the negative performance of the Wholesale channel primarily in the German, French and Iberian markets.
This decrease is partially mitigated by the positive performance of the Retail channel, especially in France and Benelux.
Sales generated in the “Other countries” account for 22.8% of total Group sales (26.5% in 2024) and amount to Euro 138.7 million compared to Euro 175.9 million in 2024, recording a decline of 21.1% compared to 2024 (-21.7% at constant exchange rates).
We point out that this result was negatively impacted by the change in the geographic perimeter following the closure of the subsidiaries in China and the United States, which led to a sales loss of approximately Euro 16.7 million. In addition, we highlight the good sales performance in the MEA (Middle East & Africa) region, and the negative performance in Russia, where operations continue to be affected by the ongoing instability and tensions related to the conflict. Starting from this fiscal year, sales results from Canada are reported and discussed within the “Other countries” area.

OTHER INCOME STATEMENT ITEMS
2025 results are presented adjusted for certain non-ordinary and non-recurring costs, as previously outlined, to ensure comparability with the previous year.
Below are the key highlights:
COGS and gross margin
Cost of sales represented 49.0% of sales, compared to 49.1% in 2024, resulting in a gross margin of 51.0% (50.9% in 2024). It should be noted that 2024 margin was adjusted by approximately Euro 2.4 million, for non-recurring items
emarket

CERTIFIED
due to the impact of the disposal of finished products inventories following the closure of the distribution centers in China and US. The stability of the gross margin percentage confirms and consolidates the now well-established conditions of the supply chain.
Operating expenses
Total operating costs for 2025 amounted to Euro 313.5 million, compared to Euro 339.4 million in 2024, including non-recurring costs of approximately Euro 12.1 million (Euro 10.6 million in 2024).
The incidence on sales, net of non-recurring costs, stood at 49.5%, in line with 2024.
As previously commented, in the second half of the year the management implemented a plan to resize the Group's operational structure which, combined with the efficiency measures already ongoing for several months, allowed for a reduction in costs compared to the previous year. In particular:
- selling and distribution costs amounted to Euro 32.8 million (Euro 33.6 million in 2024) reflecting an absolute reduction of Euro 0.8 million. Following the above-mentioned decline in sales, these costs represented 5.4% of sales (5.1% in 2024);
- advertising and promotion expenses totaled Euro 20.0 million, accounting for 3.3% of sales, marking a reduction of Euro 5.8 million compared to Euro 25.8 million in 2024 (3.9% in 2024). The reduction in investments is primarily linked to the different communication strategy rolled out in the second half of 2025;
- adjusted general and administrative expenses amounted to Euro 248.6 million, down Euro 20.9 million (40.8% the incidence on lower sales), compared to Euro 269.5 million in 2024 (40.6% in 2024). The reduction is mainly attributable to lower personnel costs, lower services and consulting fees, relating to the organizational structure and the downsizing of logistics costs and store network.
EBITDA and EBIT
The adjusted EBITDA stood at Euro 75.5 million (12.4% of sales), compared to Euro 76.3 million in 2024 (11.5% of sales). EBITDA, before the application of IFRS 16 and adjusted for the afore mentioned extraordinary costs of Euro 12.1 million, amounted to Euro 24.8 million (Euro 26.2 million in 2024), despite a sales decline for Euro 55.1 million. Adjusted EBIT stood at Euro 9.0 million (Euro 8.8 million in 2024).
Financial income and expenses
Net financial income and expenses amount to Euro -10.0 million, marking a sharp reduction compared to 2024 (Euro -21.7 million).
The main components include:
- positive exchange rates differences of approximately Euro 4.5 million (Euro -5.4 million in 2024), primarily related to Geox RUS, due to fluctuations in the EUR/RUB exchange rate;
- financial expenses of Euro 5.7 million, decreasing compared to 2024 (Euro 8.4 million) thanks to a lower average level of indebtedness in the period, supported by the capital increase and by reduced receivables assignment to the factor.
- IFRS 16 financial costs of Euro 5.8 million (Euro 4.9 million in 2024).
Income taxes
Income taxes for 2025 amount to Euro 3.1 million, compared to Euro 4.4 million in 2024. This non-cash charge is mainly driven by changes in deferred taxation, as the Group, also in 2025, did not recognize deferred tax assets on tax losses generated during the year.
CERTIFIED
THE GROUP'S BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Net operating working capital stood at approximately Euro 135.7 million, increasing compared to Euro 104.4 million as of December 2024. The working capital trend is in line with the business's seasonality.
The ratio of the net operating working capital to sales over the last twelve months stood at 22.3% as of December 31, 2025 (15.7% as of December 31, 2024).
Inventory levels amount to approximately Euro 225.8 million, marking a reduction of Euro 17.9 million compared to Euro 243.7 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in inventories is mainly due to a careful inventory management policy, focused on selling existing stock as well as limiting new purchases wherever possible.
Trade receivables amount to Euro 69.0 million, decreasing compared to Euro 70.6 million as of December 31, 2024; average collection days remain in line with the levels observed in previous periods and consistent with sector seasonality.
Trade payables amount to Euro 159.0 million, decreasing by Euro 50.9 million compared to December 31, 2024, mainly due to a different timing of purchases and a reduction in the cost base. Average payments terms remain in line with the ones observed in 2024.
The set of rationalization and optimization initiatives implemented starting from 2024 has made it possible to keep net financial position under control, which stood at Euro -92.6 million (pre-IFRS 16 and after fair-value adjustments on derivatives), compared to Euro -103.2 million in December 2024.
The change in bank debt reflects both the cash absorption from operating activities amounting to Euro 19,2 million, including capex for Euro 14.6 million, and the proceeds from the capital increase for Euro 29.4 million, completed in June 2025, as part of the refinancing agreement signed with the leading banks on December 30, 2024 ("Refinancing Plan").
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PARENT COMPANY GEOX S.P.A.

Signing of an agreement with trade unions regarding the Group's operational restructuring plan
It is noted that during the second half of 2025 an agreement was reached and signed with the Trade Unions regarding the management of redundancies. The agreement provides for the use of social safety nets such as solidarity contracts and the adoption of a voluntary redundancy incentive plan. It should be noted that the termination of solidarity contracts, initially scheduled for April 2026, has been brought forward to February 2026.
INTERNATIONAL AND MACROECONOMIC UPDATE
The global macroeconomic environment continues to be highly uncertain in the short and medium term, impacting the main drivers of our reference market and, more broadly, the durable consumer goods sector.
In this scenario, the introduction of new trade barriers among major global economies has further fueled uncertainty, generating significant instability effects on the real economy as well, with repercussions on consumers' confidence and their willingness to spend, which remained strongly impacted by this unfavorable context during 2025.

At the same time, ongoing geopolitical tensions and growing instability in several regions of the world continue to have significant humanitarian, social, and economic impacts, particularly affecting local economies and trade flows. In these countries, Geox's business is primarily conducted through third parties, including wholesale and franchising channels, with limited and non-material direct exposure in markets such as Ukraine and the Middle East.
Regarding Russia, sales in the region declined by Euro 15.9 million compared to last year, amounting to approximately Euro 39.1 million in 2025, representing around 6.4% of consolidated sales.
OUTLOOK
The challenging macroeconomic environment, the sector dynamics of the Group's reference market, and the ongoing evolution of the international geopolitical landscape all contribute to the overall climate of uncertainty and, consequently, continue to affect consumption expectations in our sector.
In this context, the 2026 Budget was approved in December 2025, confirming margins in line with the 2025-2029 Industrial Plan, even in a context of predictably declining sales.
The sales expected for 2026, indeed, are estimated to decline compared to those achieved in 2025, by approximately a low single-digit, thus lower as well compared to those forecasted in the Industrial Plan. The 2026 sales forecast took also into account the effects of the significant rationalization, initiated during 2025, of those web sales channels, whose margins proved to be poorly remunerative and continue to be closely monitored.
In preparing the 2026 Budget, consideration was given both to the effects of the downsizing of the Group's operating structure and the related ongoing efficiency initiatives - which are expected to have a positive impact on the cost structure, estimated in the range of Euro 8-9 million, and to the effects of the numerous other industrial and commercial initiatives that have already been launched and are expected to have further effectiveness during the new financial year.
Consequently, despite the estimated decrease in sales compared to what originally envisaged in the afore-mentioned Industrial Plan, it is expected that the combined effect of the business dynamics outlined above will enable the Group to confirm, in 2026, the forecasts set out in the Industrial Plan in terms of both operating margin (adjusted EBIT margin equal to 2-3%) and bank debt, which is expected to settle in the range of Euro 80-85 million.
These forecasts remain subject to significant uncertainty, given the current macroeconomic and geopolitical context.
In light of the evolving scenarios, management has already initiated preparatory activities for an update of the Industrial Plan, which will be finalized during the spring of 2026.
