Despite an increasingly turbulent macroeconomic backdrop, Pandora continued to deliver solid financial results in Q2 2025. At the Capital Markets Day (CMD) in 2023, Pandora highlighted its vision to transform the perception of the brand into a full jewellery brand in the accessible luxury market. Execution on this strategic vision is moving at full speed and yielding positive results. Pandora operates in an attractive and growing market of branded jewellery where the overall category has shown resilience through cycles due to its gifting proposition. As evidenced by the performance over the past five years, the Phoenix strategy has positioned Pandora for healthy long-term like-for-like (LFL) growth with a significant runway ahead to capture share in the accessible jewellery market.
To position Pandora as a full jewellery brand, Pandora continued to invest across all four strategy pillars of brand, design, markets and personalisation during Q2 2025. A number of key strategic initiatives are lined up from the end of Q3 2025 onwards. This includes an exciting product pipeline with Talisman and Minis to be launched in September as well as strong marketing content, that deepens emotional connection through storytelling, anchored in Pandora's brand DNA. Furthermore, in selected markets, Pandora will invest behind locally relevant talent to strengthen cultural resonance.
In Q2 2025, Pandora delivered another quarter of high single-digit organic growth of 8% with solid profitability across the board. These results came despite a tough consumer backdrop combined with significant headwinds from foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and tariffs. The organic growth of 8% comprised of LFL growth of 3% and network expansion of 5%. The timing of Easter this year, falling in Q2 as opposed to Q1 last year, had a small negative impact to LFL growth of just under 1%. In the month of June specifically, LFL growth was below the Q2 level due to performance during the End of Season Sale where surplus stock levels – and thereby also jewellery available for sale - were well below prior year, not helped by the weak macroeconomic environment in a few markets. This has also negatively impacted LFL growth during the first weeks of July while the sale was still on. Pandora also notes that the phasing of product launches this year has had an impact in the current trading period with PANDORA ESSENCE being launched in May 2024 while Talisman/Minis will be launched at the end of Q3 2025.
In Q2 2025, LFL growth remained strong in the US at 8% with Pandora continuing to benefit from positive traffic and outperforming the broader market. Overall LFL in Europe was 1% fuelled by double-digit growth in several countries, including markets like Spain, Portugal the Netherlands and Poland. While the overall market conditions in the four European markets disclosed separately are challenging, Pandora is also looking to strengthen its own execution in those markets. Pandora has formulated a plan for each market and is already executing on measures in Italy. Rest of Pandora (which covers 35% of revenue and include the European markets beyond the four disclosed separately) remained robust at 6% LFL growth.
By channel, growth was predominantly driven by online which saw 7% LFL growth in Q2 2025. Pandora's own physical network delivered 2% LFL in Q2 2025.
Profitability remained solid in Q2 2025 supported by Pandora's gross margin which remained high at 79.3%, declining only 90bp Y/Y despite 170bp of combined headwind from foreign exchange, commodities and tariffs. Pricing and efficiencies continued to contribute positively to the gross margin. Pandora notes, as previously communicated, that the headwind from commodities, foreign exchange and tariffs will gradually increase through the course of the year.
Pandora continues to execute on its promise of becoming known as a full jewellery brand. Strategic investments across marketing, design, the store network, and digital platforms remain focused on one overarching objective: driving brand desirability and, thereby, driving more consumers into the brand.
During Mother's Day, which is the important gifting moment in Q2, Pandora complimented its BE LOVE campaign with a campaign which resonated strongly with consumers and underpinned the brand's emotional relevance and strength in occasion-based purchasing.
For the remainder of the year, Pandora is preparing to further elevate its brand driving a deeper connection through Pandora's unique positioning, jewellery with a meaning, whilst also leveraging an exciting product pipeline. This includes a greater focus on driving local relevance in selected markets using local talent to drive Pandora's emotive storytelling narrative that defines the brand. Pandora has already appointed Annalisa Scarrone, a high-profile Italian singer with a strong local following in Italy, and Caroline Receveur, a prominent fashion blogger in France, to take initial steps to drive a greater local cultural connection in key markets.
For the new BE LOVE Holiday campaign, Pandora has partnered with a renowned, world-class filmmaker and creative director known for his critically acclaimed films and his ability to craft emotionally resonant, visually distinct work. His unique talent for cinematic storytelling will give our campaign a deeper emotional connection and elevated execution, ensuring it stands out through the noise. Furthermore, following the launch of the PANDORA ESSENCE collection in Q2 2024, Pandora will be launching new aesthetics in its Charms & Carriers core under the banner of Minis and Talisman in Q3 2025. The new designs play into Pandora's strong Charms & Carriers heritage and storytelling which can be worn beautifully on necklaces and wristwear further driving Pandora's full jewellery brand credentials. Furthermore, Pandora Minis will also play a role in strengthening Pandora's entry price points which remain a key value proposition of the brand. The new designs will be launched with a strong emotive campaign across online video, social, print and digital channels.
Meanwhile, the transformation of Pandora's online platform is complete. The roll-out of the new global platform began in Q1 2025 and is now live across all markets. So far, performance across the new platform has been encouraging with greater engagement across the branded content and key commercial metrics performing at or above expectations. The new platform offers a significantly more immersive and brand-led shopping experience, aligned with Pandora's ambition to further elevate digital touchpoints.
Consistent with previous quarters, Pandora continued to see growth across both strategic segments, further reinforcing its position as a full jewellery brand. In Q2 2025, the Core segment delivered 1% LFL, while the Fuel with More segment achieved 5% LFL — fully in line with the company's strategic objective.
Together, the two segments cater to a broad spectrum of design preferences, with specific collection focus in a given year shaped by creative innovation, targeted marketing, and evolving consumer trends. The overarching goal remains clear: to engage both existing and new consumers, and to drive sustainable growth across the two segments.

1 PANDORA ESSENCE was launched in Q2 2024 following a pilot in the Netherlands in 2023.
In Q2 2025, Pandora opened net 17 concept stores and added 8 Pandora operated shop-in-shops to its network.
Network expansion over the past 12 months continued to deliver a solid contribution to topline growth, with an incremental organic revenue impact of 5% in Q2 2025. Pandora sees significant value creation from its network expansion strategy with a solid topline contribution and EBIT margins reaching 35-40% in a new store already in year 1, driving a rapid payback of investment.
Given the value accretion on margins and returns, Pandora continues its plans to expand the network with 400-500 targeted net openings through 2024-2026. In FY 2025, Pandora now targets a net 25-50 concept store openings (previously 50-75). The new lower net concept store openings in 2025 reflect further efforts to optimise the store network in China, now anticipating closures of up to 100 concept stores, up from "at least 50" previously. The closures in China will have minimal impact on Pandora's organic growth with network expansion still expected to be 3%. For Pandora operated shop-in-shops, Pandora plans around net 25 openings (unchanged).
One highlight in the quarter was the opening of Pandora's second global flagship store in Las Vegas, US. The flagship store continues to combine the network expansion strategy with brand elevation and has been well received since its opening on the iconic Las Vegas Strip. The store spans around 280 square metres and is Pandora's second largest store to date. The flagship store embodies the unique Pandora experience which centres on jewellery with a meaning. Pandora will continue to expand the flagship concept to a few selected cities across the world.
Finally, the rollout of Pandora's new store concept remains on track, targeting approximately 1,375–1,425 stores in the new concept by the end of 2026. By the end of Q2 2025, Pandora had 576 stores operating under the new format, up from 477 by Q1 2025.
The US government has announced additional tariffs on imported goods. This impacts Pandora in relation to products imported to the US and originating from mainly Thailand but also China, Vietnam, India and several other countries.
Pandora has been working on mitigation measures for a while and has also accelerated certain cost measures. This has included switching sources of supply, e.g. for point-of-sales materials used in the US, as well as shipping jewellery directly to Canada and Latin America rather than, as today, through Pandora's US distribution centre.
Based on the current tariff levels, Pandora notes the following direct financial impact:
At the CMD in 2023, Pandora announced new financial targets including a 26-27% EBIT margin by 2026. Since the announcement of the targets, and based on the latest spot prices, Pandora notes a material 380bp headwind from commodities and foreign exchange rates. Additionally, the newly announced tariff levels drive another 120bp of headwind (DKK 450 million) – in total, 500bp of external headwinds since the CMD in 2023. This compares to only 10bp of headwind in the original 2023 CMD target.
In the Q1 2025 report, Pandora confirmed that it expected to offset the majority of the commodity and foreign exchange headwinds and deliver an EBIT margin of "around 25%" in 2026 (excl. tariffs). Today – and despite an additional 30bp of headwind from foreign exchange and commodities since Q1 2025 – Pandora re-confirms the target of "around 25%" in 2026 (excl. tariffs).
It is too early to conclude on the magnitude and timing of mitigating actions to offset the recently announced tariff. As of today, Pandora targets an EBIT margin of "at least 24%" in 2026, incl. tariffs. Pandora will provide further updates in due course.
Pandora expects to be able to offset a material part of the total 500bp headwinds through a combination of pricing, cost efficiencies, and operating leverage. In response to the increase in commodity prices, Pandora implemented a 5% price increase already in October 2024, a 4% price increase was implemented in April 2025, and another low singledigit increase was implemented in August. The price increases support the margin target for 2026 by 210bp combined. Please refer to the bridge below.
In early 2025, Pandora also initiated a thorough cost programme. The cost programme - under the banner of "Project Silverstone" – is progressing well and is expected to contribute with a 50-100bp margin uplift in 2026. Cost reductions are expected across several areas, including store operations, procurement, distribution and logistics, simplification and removal of overlaps etc. Pandora is already executing on the programme, and the benefits are expected to be seen from Q1 2026 onwards.

Pandora has hedged 70-75% of the 2026 P&L exposure for silver and gold combined at a price of around USD 31/oz. At the current silver price (end July 2025) of around USD 36, the overall average silver price in 2026 would be around USD 32.4, including the 25-30% unhedged exposure. Linked to this, the additional margin impact in 2027 from commodities and foreign exchange is estimated at around -110bp vs 2026 due to the fact no hedging is in place for 2027 at this point in time.
Pandora delivered solid organic growth of 8% in Q2 2025, driven by LFL growth of 3% and network expansion of 5%.
The Core segment once again delivered a stable low single-digit LFL at 1%, while Fuel with more contributed with 5% LFL growth.
Pandora continues to exploit the vast white space opportunities globally with the network expansion ticking along and contributing 5% to revenue growth in the quarter. During the past 12 months, Pandora has added net 93 concept stores and net 87 Pandora operated shop-in-shops to the existing store network.
Forward integration continues as well with Pandora acquiring 46 concept stores during the second quarter (37 concept stores in the US, 4 in Italy, 4 in Canada and 1 in Puerto Rico). The revenue contribution from acquisitions over the past 12 months was less than 1%.
Foreign exchange rates represented a 4% headwind in the quarter equivalent to DKK 0.3 billion revenue. In particularly driven by a weaker USD.

In Q2 2025, Pandora delivered 3% LFL growth in a market with elevated macroeconomic volatility. The growth was largely driven by the strong performance in the US and Rest of Pandora, covering around 70% of revenue. The performance in the quarter was impacted negatively by a weaker performance during the End of Season Sale across most markets as well as a negative calendar effect due to Easter falling in Q2 this year and Q1 last year.
In the second quarter of 2025, the US delivered a strong 8% LFL. This was driven by continued growth in traffic both into the stores and online, supported by strong execution around Mother's Day. Organic growth ended at 12%, fuelled by new store openings during the past 12 months. During Q2, Pandora opened 85 other points of sales as well as a flagship store on the Las Vegas Strip. Early Q3, a pop-up store was also opened at Times Square driving good revenue from day one.
Combined LFL growth across all European markets was 1% with several markets such as Spain. Portugal, the Netherlands and Poland driving strong LFL growth (disclosed in Rest of Pandora as usual). The four key markets in Europe which are disclosed separately remained challenged, driven by among others the weaker performance in the End of Season Sale across most markets. While the overall market conditions in these markets are challenging, Pandora is also looking to improve its own execution in the markets to drive greater brand heat. Pandora is preparing to open a new chapter of the "BE LOVE" marketing campaign with content that deepens emotional connection through storytelling, anchored in Pandora's brand DNA. Additionally, in selected markets, Pandora will invest behind locally relevant talent to authentically spotlight the new collections - strengthening cultural resonance and boosting social engagement to inspire consumers.
Germany delivered -6% LFL growth in Q2 2025, cycling an exceptionally strong 65% in Q2 2024, which had benefited from viral trends, and 11% in Q2 2023. The brand remains well-positioned and continues to resonate with consumers and the vast majority of the new consumers gained during the viral trends are retained. While the broader environment in Germany remains difficult, Pandora has essentially doubled the German business, organically, during the last 3 years.
In the UK, LFL declined by 9%. The Q2 performance does not reflect the underlying run rate of the business, and a number of factors dragged down Q2 performance. This includes a particularly weak End of Season Sale and a shift of media investments from Q2 last year to H2 this year. The strengthening of marketing content, as described above, is also expected to support performance in UK during H2 2025.
The performance in Italy was largely unchanged from the previous quarter. Following the deep dive diagnostic of the performance in Italy, an action plan has been developed. This entails pushing Pandora's affordability message harder whilst engaging more actively on a local level to strengthen the cultural relevance for the brand. Pandora has already been acting on this towards the end of the quarter with the appointment of Annalisa Scarrone as an influencer, a highprofile Italian singer with a strong local following. In late July, Pandora reshaped the pricing architecture of the collections in order to strengthen the offering in entry price points. Additionally, the launch of Talismans and Minis later in Q3 2025 are expected to be particularly relevant for the Italian market.
France delivered a like-for-like decline of 7%, broadly in line with the previous quarter, reflecting ongoing efforts to detox the brand and reduce reliance on promotional activity. Marketing efforts are increasingly focused on strengthening earned media and leveraging influencer partnerships to boost brand consideration. In this regard, Pandora has just appointed Caroline Receveur, a prominent fashion blogger in France to drive a greater local connection. These initiatives are expected to support healthier long-term growth.
Australia generated LFL growth of 7% in Q2 2025, a good sequential improvement. This was partially helped by an improvement in consumer sentiment but also successful execution around Mother's Day.
The performance in China continues to be challenged ending at -15% LFL in the quarter. As part of the planned strategic optimisation of the store network, Pandora closed another 12 concept stores in the quarter and have closed 22 concept stores YTD. Pandora now expects up to 100 store closures in China, up from "at least 50" previously.
Rest of Pandora reported 6% LFL in the second quarter of 2025. The growth remains broad-based with many markets such as Spain, Canada, Poland, Portugal, the Nordics, Romania, Hungary and the Netherlands reporting double-digit LFL growth. On the other hand, LFL was negative in Mexico, which suffered from a tough macro-economic environment coupled with an extremely promotional trading environment.

PANDORA ADVANCES WITH NETWORK ACCORDING TO PLAN
During the second quarter of 2025, Pandora opened net 17 concept stores and added net 8 Pandora operated shopin-shops to the network. This is in line with expectations and impacted by planned closures in China and the phasing of new openings this year. In total, Pandora has added net 93 concept stores and 87 Pandora operated shop-in-shops during the past 12 months. The concept store openings are geographically relatively broad-based. The shop-in-shop openings are concentrated around Latin America and Turkey.
Network expansion added 5pp to organic growth in Q2, and on top of that, forward integration has added <1% to revenue growth.
Network expansion is low risk, while being accretive to margins and returns. As such, Pandora continues its plans to expand the network with 400-500 targeted net openings through 2024-2026. In FY 2025, Pandora targets net 25-50 concept store openings, versus 50-75 previously with the net number now reflecting up to 100 closures in China (up from previously "at least 50") alongside some additional openings in a few markets, and around 25 Pandora operated shop-in-shops net openings (unchanged).

2 Pandora does not own any of the premises (land and buildings) where stores are operated. Pandora exclusively operates stores from leased premises.
In Q2 2025, the EBIT margin declined Y/Y by 160bp, landing at 18.2%, driven by a significant 230bp combined headwind from foreign exchange rates, commodites and tariffs. The EBIT margin continues to be supported by structural improvements to the gross margin via pricing and channel mix. The latter being driven by the margin accretive network expansion.
Net operating leverage from LFL was negative in the quarter, impacting the margin by -80bp. This is mainly due to phasing of investments. Pandora continues to invest across the value chain to drive growth across the Phoenix growth pillars, which include, among others, the restaging of the brand, and accelerating other initiatives in digital and technology.
The temporary impact related to forward integration was a slight net 10bp drag on the margin. This temporary factor is expected to be net neutral for the full year compared to 2024.
Foreign exchange rates represented a significant headwind of 120bp, on top of the 80bp headwind from commodities. Additionally, tariffs imposed on imports to the US represented an incremental 30bp drag in the quarter. The combined headwind from these factors is expected to gradually increase in Q3 and Q4 to form a full year 2025 headwind of 280bp.
In absolute terms, EBIT declined by 4%. Measured in constant foreign exchange rates, however, EBIT grew by 6% in the quarter (the EBIT margin in constant exchange rates was 19.4%).

Despite significant headwinds of 170bp from commodities, foreign exchange rates and tariffs the gross margin only decreased by 90bp Y/Y, landing at 79.3% in Q2 2025. The gross margin continues to be supported by price increases as well as continued support from channel mix, driven by a higher revenue share from Pandora-operated stores. The latter was partially offset by strong online performance, which carries a lower gross margin due to last-mile freight costs partly absorbed by Pandora. Lastly, product mix contributed negatively driven by the strong performance in Collabs and Pandora Lab-Grown Diamonds which both carry a gross margins below group level. In Q2 2025, the gross margin for Fuel with more is 82.2% compared to Core with a gross margin of 78.3%.
Foreign exchange rates had a negative impact of 70bp, driven in part by the appreciation of the Thai Baht. Commodities drove a 80bp headwind vs. Q2 2024, due to an increase in the price of silver and gold. Headwinds from commodity prices and foreign exchange rates are expected to increase further in Q3 2025 and remain elevated for the rest of 2025.
The gross margin is temporarily impacted by buying back inventory when doing forward integration. This represented a net headwind of 10bp compared to Q2 2024. Adjusting for forward integration, the underlying gross margin would have been 80.1%. The full year impact of forward integration is expected to remain at the same level as last year, resulting in no additional drag relative to 2024.

In Q2 2025, operating expenses increased by 9% in constant exchange rates compared to Q2 2024, mainly driven by the expansion of our highly profitable store network.
Sales and distribution expenses increased by 11% in constant exchange rates. This increase reflects the expansion of the store network combined with forward integration. In total, Pandora added 276 stores to its own network compared to Q2 2024 which alone drove more than DKK 200 million additional operating expenses in the quarter. The expansion of the network is accretive to the EBIT margin as the increase in sales and distribution expenses is offset by a higher gross margin and leverage on other OPEX lines (administrative and marketing expenses).
Marketing expenses increased by 4% in constant exchange rates vs. Q2 2024, ending at 15.2% as a share of revenue. Pandora remains committed to fuel brand desire and invest in marketing to accelerate the journey to transform the perception of Pandora into a full jewellery brand.
Administrative expenses increased by 10% in constant exchange rates vs. Q2 2024, partly reflecting phasing between quarters.
The weakening of the USD and other currencies impact the OPEX ratio by 50bp in the quarter. The OPEX ratio in constant currency is 60.6%, in line with last year.

Net financials came in at a cost of DKK 224 million in Q2 2025 (Q2 2024: DKK 280 million), with the lower cost reflecting a net positive gain on foreign exchange hedging contracts compared to a net loss in Q2 2024.
Non-cash foreign exchange rate adjustments on intercompany balances represented a drag of DKK 26 million and were offset by a DKK 29 million gain on foreign exchange rate hedging contracts in the quarter. These line items depend entirely on the development in foreign exchange rates.
Based on the current foreign exchange rates, Pandora expects net financial expenses in 2025 to be DKK 850-900 million (previously DKK 900-950 million). The guidance consists of around DKK 950 million interest on debt, IFRS 16 related interest and fees, and a net DKK 50-100 million (previously DKK 0-50 million) gain on non-cash foreign exchange adjustments on intercompany balances and foreign exchange hedging contracts.
The effective tax rate in Q2 2025 came in at 24.5%, in line with last year.
EPS ended at DKK 10.3 in Q2 2025, a 6% increase from DKK 9.7 in Q2 2024. Adjusting for the foreign exchange headwinds (as well as subtracting hedging gains related to FX) EPS grew by 18% Y/Y.
Net working capital was 4.7% of revenue in Q2 2025 compared to 6.0% in Q2 2024. The Y/Y reduction is a continuation of the broad-based improvements seen over the past twelve months across most elements of working capital. Inventory management remained strong; despite higher raw material prices, inventory only increased by 6%, broadly in line with revenue growth. Pandora still expects net working capital to be between flat to a low single-digit % of revenue by the end of 2025.
Trade receivables continue to be at a healthy level and ended at 2.0% of revenue, down 80bp from Q2 2024 benefitting from the intensified cash management that led to a lower number of days sales outstanding (DSO) in among others Mexico, which started to take effect in Q3 2024. The wholesale DSO were 34 days, broadly in line with Q2 2024.
Efforts to improve net working capital is also visible in trade payables. Trade payables increased 90bp as a percent of revenue to 10.1% by the end of Q2 2025. This is driven by among others, the continued efforts to renegotiate payment terms.
Cash conversion was solid and ended at 74% in Q2 2025 underscoring Pandora's resilient and asset-light business model. Cash conversion in Q2 2024 was exceptionally high at 94% supported by the significant improvements made on working capital.
CAPEX was DKK 0.6 billion in the quarter, equivalent to 8.5% of revenue, an increase from DKK 0.5 billion in Q2 2024 and in line with guidance. The elevated level of CAPEX reflects investments to fuel the expansion and refurbishment of the store network, as well as Digital and Technology (incl. the new ERP platform), and investments in the new crafting facility in Vietnam, with the latter being the main driver of the increase compared to last year.
ROIC remains structurally high at 44%, in line with last year. The high ROIC continues to be supported by the investments in expanding our store network, as new stores are ROIC accretive on a run-rate basis.

Non-current assets increased by DKK 1.7 billion to DKK 18.9 billion at the end of Q2 2025, driven by network expansion increasing the right-of-use-assets as well as CAPEX (property, plant and equipment) related to the store network. Current assets were DKK 8.1 billion, an increase of DKK 0.5 billion compared with last year, in large driven by the increase in inventories reflecting the growth of the company and the market value of hedging contracts related to the purchase of silver and gold used in production as well as foreign exchange rates.
At the end of Q2 2025, net interest-bearing debt amounted to DKK 15.3 billion, up from DKK 13.4 billion in Q2 2024. This corresponds to a leverage of 1.5x, in line with normal seasonality and broadly in line with last year. At the end of Q2 2025, Pandora had DKK 7.1 billion in undrawn committed credit facilities.
At the end of Q2 2025, equity in Pandora amounted to DKK 3.6 billion. In the second quarter, Pandora bought back shares amounting to a total of DKK 0.9 billion bringing the total buy back of own shares to DKK 2.0 billion in H1 2025 on top of the distribution to shareholders of an ordinary dividend of DKK 1.6 billion in Q1 2025.
While Pandora delivered solid results in the first half of 2025, macroeconomic uncertainty remains high. This now also includes the indirect impact from tariffs on consumer demand.
Pandora remains confident in its outlook, supported by a strong pipeline of product innovations and commercial initiatives scheduled from the end of Q3 2025 onwards. This includes the launch of Talisman/Minis and the next chapter of the "BE LOVE" marketing campaign with a holiday campaign that deepens emotional connection through storytelling, anchored in Pandora's brand DNA. Additionally, in selected markets, Pandora will invest behind locally relevant talent, strengthening cultural resonance and boosting social engagement to inspire consumers.
Therefore, Pandora continues to target organic growth of 7–8% for FY 2025. The EBIT margin guidance is also unchanged at around 24%.
The organic growth guidance can be illustrated as follows:

Pandora continues to expect like-for-like (LFL) growth of 4–5%, which remains within the long-term CAGR range of 4– 6% communicated at the 2023 CMD. While this is slightly softer than the higher end of the CMD range, it reflects the near-term macro environment. The guidance range does not account for a potential material change of economic growth or material change in consumer behaviour. Continued network expansion is expected to contribute around 3%, with forward integration adding another 1% to revenue. This brings total expected revenue growth in local currency to 8–9%.
The EBIT margin guidance can be illustrated as follows:
FY 2025 EBIT MARGIN VS. FY 2024 Growth in pp (approximation)

*Assumes current level of tariffs remain in place for the rest of 2025 (this includes the 19% on imports from Thailand, 54% on China and 50% on India).
The EBIT margin guidance for 2025 reflects Pandora's strong commitment to its strategy and consistent execution, targeting another year of compounding growth fuelled by investments across the Phoenix growth pillars. Despite significant headwinds from external factors, Pandora targets strong profitability in 2025 and guides for an EBIT margin of around 24% (unchanged). The guidance reflects 280p of headwind from foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and tariffs vs 2024.
The additional tariffs currently imposed on goods imported to the US represent a 60bp (previously 30bp) impact to the EBIT margin. The guidance is based on the assumption that the current tariff levels on goods imported to the US remain (this includes the 19% on imports from Thailand, 54% on China and 50% on India).
As Pandora continues the expansion of its profitable store network, a 40bp positive impact on the EBIT margin is expected in 2025. The operating leverage from LFL growth is set to be re-invested into initiatives supporting both future and current growth. These investments encompass various initiatives across the Phoenix growth pillars, such as the restaging of the brand, the continued rollout of the new store concept, personalised experiences, both online and offline, as well as efforts to establish Pandora as the go-to destination for lab-grown diamonds.
The combined impact of silver and gold prices as well as foreign exchange fluctuations is projected to be a drag of 220bp (previously 250bp), with the total headwind being a combination of a weaker USD and strong THB relative to DKK, but also depreciation of AUD, GBP, TRY and MXN. Support from price adjustments and operational efficiencies which is expected to more than offset inflationary pressures, including salary increases, helps mitigate the impact from higher silver prices and adverse foreign exchange movements.
The guided decline in the EBIT margin from 2024 to 2025 is expected to be most visible in Q3, before moderating slightly in Q4 to a lower decline Y/Y. This is due to several factors including timing of tariffs and forward integration as well as the timing of actions taken to mitigate the external headwind.
Lastly, the Group wide cost programme, "Silverstone", is expected to be self-funded in 2025, thereby representing no impact to the 2025 EBIT margin but expected to represent structural upside from 2026 onwards.
Pandora expects to open net 25-50 concept stores (previously 50-75), including up to 100 net store closures in China, and open around net 25 Pandora operated shop-in-shops.
CAPEX is expected to end at around 7% share of revenue, as Pandora continues to scale up investments into the store network with the roll-out of the new store concept and network expansion, digital initiatives and not least Pandora's new crafting facility in Vietnam.
The effective tax rate is expected to be around 24%, slightly below the run-rate of 24-25% in recent years due to the retroactive effect for 2022-2024 of a bilateral advance pricing arrangement signed by the Danish Tax Authorities and the Australian taxation office earlier this year. Pandora expects net financial expenses in 2025 to be DKK 850-900 million (previously DKK 900-950 million). The guidance consists of around DKK 950 million interest on debt, IFRS 16 related interest and fees, and a net DKK 50-100 million (previously DKK 0-50 million) gain on non-cash foreign exchange adjustments on intercompany balances and foreign exchange hedging contracts. The latter depends entirely on the development in foreign exchange rates through the year and will be updated on a regular basis.

At the end of Q2 2025, Pandora's leverage was 1.5x NIBD to EBITDA, broadly in line with Q2 2024 and reflecting normal seasonality. Pandora aims for a leverage ratio of approximately 1.3x NIBD to EBITDA by the end of 2025. In line with the usual seasonality of the business, leverage will increase through the year, peaking in Q3 2025, and then fall back by year-end.
In the second quarter, Pandora bought back shares amounting to a total of DKK 0.9 billion bringing the total buy back of own shares to DKK 2.0 billion in H1 2025, on top of the distribution to shareholders of an ordinary dividend of DKK 1.6 billion in Q1 2025. For 2025, Pandora expects a total cash distribution to shareholders of DKK 5.6 billion. The share buyback amounts to DKK 4.0 billion and commenced on 6 February 2025 and will be completed no later than 30 January 2026.
Sustainability is a cornerstone of Pandora's growth strategy, Phoenix. The company is pursuing ambitious targets to lower its impact on the planet and create positive outcomes for people and communities touched by its business.
In Q2 2025, Pandora continued to execute against its three strategic priorities: low-carbon business, circular innovation, and inclusive, diverse & fair culture. We closely monitor and adapt as needed to changes in the regulatory landscape including the requirements of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
Q2 highlights:
Low-carbon business: By 2024, Pandora's total greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 had decreased by 17% compared to the 2019 baseline. In the same period, Pandora's revenue has grown by 45%, demonstrating continued decoupling of growth from emissions. This will not be a linear journey. In 2024, Pandora completed the transition to 100% renewable electricity across its own operations.
Pandora expects emissions to stay flat in 2025 compared to 2024 as construction of the new crafting facility in Vietnam, expansion of the store network, and store refurbishments temporarily outbalance reductions in other areas.
Circular innovation: Since August 2024, all Pandora jewellery has been crafted using 100% recycled silver and gold sourced from certified, responsible refiners, well ahead of the target year 2025. The shift contributes significantly to lower Scope 3 emissions, as the carbon footprint of recycled silver is one-third compared to mined silver, while the recycling of gold produces less than 1% of the carbon emissions from mining new gold.
Inclusive, diverse & fair culture: At the end of 2024, women held 35% of Pandora's senior leadership positions (VP+) globally, up from 34% in 2023. This meets the company's interim 2025 target of 33% women in leadership. Pandora will continue its work to reach full gender parity no later than 2030.
More information on Pandora's sustainability strategy and 2024 disclosure on material sustainability topics and performance against targets can be found in the Annual Report 2024.
Pandora collaborated with Amazon to uncover and shut down a sophisticated criminal network selling counterfeit Pandora jewellery across Europe. The investigation, launched in 2020 by Pandora's IP & Brand Protection team, traced the operation to two sellers in China. In partnership with Amazon's Counterfeit Crimes Unit, Pandora assisted Chinese law enforcement in a raid that led to the seizure of thousands of fake items. In March 2025, the sellers were found guilty in Shanghai and sentenced to five years in prison and significant fines.
Pandora returned to the Met Gala, showcasing global ambassadors Pamela Anderson and Tyla in its signature labgrown diamonds. Pamela wore 24 carats from the Era collection, while her son Brandon Thomas Lee complemented her look with a custom Pandora brooch. Tyla debuted as an ambassador in a 30-carat look inspired by classic timepieces, featuring a Pandora ME chain, a heart shaped Talisman pendant, and a bespoke diamond monocle.
At Pandora's Annual General Meeting on 12 March 2025, the proposed resolution to reduce the share capital with a nominal amount of DKK 3,000,000 treasury shares of DKK 1 was adopted. The share capital reduction was announced to the Danish Business Authority on 12 March 2025 and the four-week notification period has expired with no objections. The Board of Directors has therefore resolved to effect the share capital reduction on 11 April 2025. Following this, the Company's share capital is nominally DKK 79,000,000, divided into shares of DKK 1.
The expected dates for upcoming 2025 financial announcements for Pandora A/S are as follows:

Total revenue increased by 8% in local currency to DKK 14,421 million in the first half of 2025 compared to 2024. Organic growth was 7% reflecting the momentum and strength of the brand.
Revenue from Pandora's Core segment grew by 7% in local currency to DKK 10,612 million in the first half of 2025 from DKK 10,123 million in 2024. The segment "Fuel with more" saw revenue growth of 11% in local currency, driven by strong performance across most collections.
Gross profit was DKK 11,517 million in the first half of 2025 (DKK 10,853 million in 2024), resulting in a gross margin of 79.9% in 2025 vs. 79.8% in 2024. The Core segment generated a gross margin of 78.7% (2024: 78.4%), while Fuel with more generated a gross margin of 83.1% (2024: 83.7%). The gross margin is supported by favourable channel mix and pricing, which is being offset by the increase in commodity prices as well as adverse movements in foreign exchange rates.
Sales and distribution expenses increased to DKK 5,242 million in the first half of 2025 (DKK 4,862 million in 2024), corresponding to 36.3% of revenue in 2025 (35.7% in 2024). The increase is mainly the result of the profitable expansion of the Pandora owned physical store network.
Marketing expenses were DKK 2,095 million in the first half of 2025 (DKK 1,966 million in 2024), resulting in a share of revenue of 14.5% in 2025, in line with last year. Pandora remains committed to the strategy, which aims to transform the perception of Pandora into a full jewellery brand.
Administrative expenses ended at DKK 1,253 million in the first half of 2025 compared with DKK 1,180 million in 2024, corresponding to 8.7% of revenue in 2025, in line with last year.
EBIT for the first half of 2025 was DKK 2,928 million, resulting in an EBIT margin of 20.3% vs. 20.9% in 2024. The decline is driven by the drag from commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and tariffs.
Net financials amounted to a cost of DKK 461 million in the first half of 2025 vs. a cost of DKK 509 million in 2024. The decrease compared to last year reflects mainly gains on foreign exchange hedging contracts.
Income tax expenses were DKK 562 million in the first half of 2025 compared with DKK 572 million in 2024, implying an effective tax rate for the Group of 22.8% in 2025, down from 24.5% in 2024, driven by a one-off benefit in the first quarter of 2025 due to the retroactive effect for 2022-2024 of a bilateral advance pricing arrangement signed by the Danish Tax Authorities and the Australian taxation office.
Net profit in the first half of 2025 was DKK 1,904 million vs. DKK 1,764 million in 2024.

1 In Q3 2024, Pandora performed a reclassification between "Change in payables and other liabilities" and "Other non-cash adjustments" for presentation purposes. All comparative figures were restated accordingly. "Other non-cash adjustments" mainly comprise obligation to restore leased property.

The above cannot be derived directly from the income statement and the balance sheet.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim financial reporting of listed companies.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with the accounting policies set out in the Annual Report 2024.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this report may not add up precisely to the totals, and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures. The interim financial report is presented in Danish kroner (DKK), and all amounts are in millions unless otherwise stated.
Pandora presents financial measures in the interim financial report that are not defined according to IFRS Accounting Standards. Pandora believes these non-GAAP measures provide valuable information to investors and Pandora's management when evaluating performance. Since other companies may calculate these differently from Pandora, they may not be comparable to the measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be considered to be a replacement for measures defined under IFRS Accounting Standards. For definitions of the performance measures used by Pandora, see note 5.6 Financial definitions to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report 2024.
Pandora has adopted all new or amended IFRS Accounting Standards and interpretations (IFRS IC) as adopted by the EU and which are effective for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2025. The implementation of these new or amended standards and interpretations had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the year.
The new standards that are not yet effective are not expected to have any material impact on Pandora, except for IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which was issued in April 2024 and will be effective from 2027, impacting presentation and disclosure of the financial statements. Pandora is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
In preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management makes various judgements, accounting estimates and assumptions that form the basis of the presentation, recognition and measurement of Pandora's assets and liabilities.
The current tariff discussions drive both elevated macroeconomic uncertainty – and thereby elevated recession risk – as well as elevated cost and margin uncertainty. Pandora has been working on mitigation measures for a while and has also accelerated certain cost measures. This has included switching sources of supply, e.g. for point-of-sales materials used in the US, as well as shipping jewellery directly to Canada and Latin America rather than, as today, through Pandora's US distribution centre.
Pandora has evaluated the value of its non-current assets. Based on current market information and forecasts, no indicators of impairment were identified, and the most recent impairment test conducted in 2024 is still considered to include sufficient headroom. Given the uncertain macroeconomic environment, Pandora will continue assessing the value of the assets. Pandora has also considered the recoverability of accounts receivable and the inventory value and has not identified any impairment write down.
For information on liquidity risk please refer to note 4 Financial risks.
Pandora's activities are segmented into two reportable segments, each responsible for the end-to-end performance of collections. One includes our Core collections, while the other, Fuel with more, covers newer collections and innovations.
Core includes the charms and charm carriers which focus on collectability. Fuel with more includes the Modern Classics (Pandora Timeless and Pandora Signature accompanied by Pandora's newest collection, PANDORA ESSENCE) and Pandora Lab-Grown Diamonds and targets both existing and new customers who may have a different aesthetic preference than the Core jewellery design.
The two operating segments include all channels relating to the distribution and sale of Pandora products.
Management monitors the profitability of the operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance management. Segment results are measured at gross profit as presented in the table below.
Non-unit-driven revenue, comprising mainly franchise fees, is allocated proportionately to the different revenue categories.

1Pandora does not own any of the premises (Land and buildings) where stores are operated. Pandora exclusively operates stores from leased premises.
The use of sales channels for the distribution of Pandora jewellery depends on the underlying market maturity and varies within markets but is consistent when viewed between segments.
Due to the seasonal nature of the jewellery business, higher revenue and profits are historically realised in the fourth quarter.
Pandora's overall risk exposure and financial risks, including risks related to commodity prices, foreign currency, credit, liquidity and interest rates, are described in the disclosures in note 4.4 Financial risks to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report 2024.
Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD), incl. capitalised leases amounted to DKK 15.3 billion at the end of Q2 2025 (Q1 2025: DKK 14.5 billion) corresponding to a financial leverage of 1.5x (Q1 2025: 1.4x).
Pandora maintains an adequate level of cash and unutilised credit facilities to meet financial obligations when due.

In Q2 2025, Pandora has drawn DKK 2.8 billion on short-term financing of which DKK 0.8 billion in uncommitted money market loans, and overdraft facilities in order to optimise interest costs and the Group cash position. Further, Q2 2025 closed with DKK 10.0 billion in drawn committed financing, leaving DKK 7.1 billion available in undrawn committed loan facilities.

In H1 2025, Pandora took over 46 concept stores (37 concept stores in the US, 4 concept stores in Italy, 4 concept stores in Canada and 1 concept store in Puerto Rico) in 12 business combinations. Net assets acquired mainly consisted of store properties, inventories and related liabilities. The total purchase price for the acquisitions was DKK 377 million. Based on the purchase price allocations, goodwill was DKK 164 million, fully deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill from the acquisitions was mainly related to the synergies from converting the stores from wholesale and distribution to Pandora-operated retail. Cost relating to the acquisitions was immaterial and has been recognised as operating expenses in the income statement.
Excluding the temporary drag on gross margin from inventory buybacks, incremental contribution to Group revenue and net profit from acquisitions for the period 1 January – 30 June 2025 was DKK 64 million and DKK 21 million, respectively. On a pro forma basis, if the acquisitions had been effective from 1 January 2025, the incremental contribution to Group revenue and net profit for the period 1 January – 30 June 2025 would have been approximately DKK 134 million and DKK 33 million, respectively1 .

1 The incremental contribution to Group revenue and net profit is determined as the net of acquired retail revenue less the reduction in wholesale revenue. Excluding the temporary drag on the margin from inventory buybacks, the contribution to the Group revenue and net profit from acquisitions for the period 1 January - 30 June 2025 calculated according to IFRS 3 was DKK 159 million and DKK 70 million, respectively. On a proforma basis, if the acquisitions had been effective from 1 January 2025, the IFRS 3 contribution to Group revenue and net profit for the period 1 January – 30 June 2025, excluding the temporary drag on the margin from inventory buybacks, would have been approximately DKK 229 million and DKK 81 million, respectively. 2 The consideration of DKK 7 million transferred during 2025 relates to the acquisitions in the US, Italy and Canada in prior years. The consideration of DKK 19 million transferred during 2024 relates mainly to the acquisition in Colombia in 2023.
3 The deferred payment of DKK 22 million in 2025 relates to acquisitions in the US, Italy, Canada and Puerto Rico. The consideration of DKK 8 million in 2024 relates mainly to the acquisitions in the US and Italy.

The Group generally accepts that vendors sell off their receivables arising from the sale of goods and services to the Group to a third party. Pandora has established a supply chain financing programme where vendors can sell off their receivables from Pandora on attractive terms, based on invoices approved by Pandora, but at the bank's sole discretion. The programme does not extend payment terms beyond the original terms agreed. The payment terms for trade payables within the supply chain financing programme range from 100–120 days, while the payment terms for trade payables outside the programme average around 60 days. This is expected, as the programme is generally more attractive to suppliers with longer payment terms.
Pandora is not directly or indirectly a party to these agreements. The amounts payable to suppliers included in the supply chain financing programme are classified as trade payables in the balance sheet as well as in the statement of cash flows (working capital within cash flows from operations) and amounted to DKK 286 million at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: DKK 362 million). Suppliers have received payment from the bank for all the liabilities under the supplier finance arrangement.

The Board of Directors and the Executive Management have discussed and approved the interim financial report of Pandora A/S for the period 1 January to 30 June 2025.

This Company announcement contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, guidance, expectations, strategies, objectives and statements regarding future events or prospects with respect to the Company's future financial and operating results. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain words such as "expect", "estimate", "intend", "will be", "will continue", "will result", "could", "may", "might" or any variations of such words or other words with similar meanings. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Prospective information is based on management's then current expectations or forecasts. Such information is subject to the risk that such expectations or forecasts, or the assumptions underlying such expectations or forecasts, may change. The Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such forward-looking statements. Some important risk factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in its forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: economic and geopolitical uncertainty (including interest rates and exchange rates), financial and regulatory developments, general changes in market trends and end-consumer preferences, demand for the Company's products, competition, the availability and pricing of materials used by the Company, production and distribution-related issues, IT failures, litigation, pandemics and other unforeseen factors. The nature of the Company's business means that risk factors and uncertainties may arise, and it may not be possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor to assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company's business or the extent to which any individual risk factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied on as a prediction of actual results.
