LuxExperience says Mytheresa saw continuing sales growth in Q3
LuxExperience CEO Michael Kliger hailed 'the strength of the Mytheresa business model. Solid GMV growth, higher top customer spend, continued product margin expansion and strong profitability [that] show the health and resilience of the Mytheresa business despite macro headwinds'.
He also said the numbers 'underline the fantastic prospects for the recently acquired Yoox Net-A-Porter business. We continue to demonstrate our ability to execute well and achieve strong results under macro uncertainties where other players fail. Combined we will create the leader in global digital, multi-brand luxury with strong profitability and growth.'
So let's dive into the details. Mytheresa saw a net sales increase of 3.8% year-on-year to €242.5 million, although in the year to date, net sales rose 8% so the latest quarter did see a slowdown.
GMV growth was 3.8% to €261.3 million and Average Order Value increased by 8.8% to €753. The gross profit margin of 44.8% was an increase of 140 BPs year-on-year.
Adjusted EBITDA of €9.3 million was up from €8.9 million a year ago and the adjusted EBITDA margin edged up to 3.9% from 3.8%, although again, this lagged the full year so far that was at 4.3%.
Of course, we can't ignore the fact that the company remains loss-making with the loss this time being €5.5 million for the quarter, wider than the €3.3 million of Q3 a year earlier. And for the year to date the loss was €33.7 million, more than the €21.3 million loss of the previous year to date.
But the company also said that adjusted net income this time was positive at €5.4 million compared to €3.8 million 12 months earlier and for the year to date the adjusted net profit figure was €21.4 million, much more than the €3.2 million of the previous ninemonth period. Adjusting items included major one-off costs linked to closing a distribution centre, professional fees and legal expenses.
Returning to the highlights of the latest period, the company said it saw an expansion of its partnership with Prada to global distribution rights including the US; a successful two-week immersive Aspen Après-Ski experience in cooperation with Bemelmans in Aspen, with strong acquisition of new high-net-worth customers; the launch of exclusive capsule collections and pre-launches in collaboration with Loewe, Etro, Balenciaga, Manolo Blahnik, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Valentino Garavani, Toteme, Tod's and many more; impactful Top Customer events around the globe and 'money-can't buy' experiences in partnership with luxury brands; and 'outstanding customer satisfaction" with a Net Promoter Score of 86% in Q3 FY25.
But the company still clearly faces challenges. As mentioned, it remains loss-making on a reported basis and also said that 'given the recent uncertainties on tariffs and their effects on customer sentiment', it's cautious on sales and GMV expectations.
'We now expect for GMV and net sales growth the lower end of our given guidance of 7% to 13% for the full fiscal year ending June 30 2025 for the legacy Mytheresa standalone business,' it said. But it added: 'Given our continuous focus on profitability we confirm our guidance for adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 3% and 5%'.
As for YNAP, its completed acquisition in Q4 is expected to add another €300 million-€350 million net sales and an adjusted EBITDA loss of between €20 million and €30 million added to the legacy Mytheresa standalone business's FY25 numbers.
But it's 'very excited for the medium- and long-term outlook of the combined business. With our proven ability to execute and to show strong results we confirm our medium-term outlook for the combined business' to achieve around €4 billion net sales per year and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 7%-9%.
Starting with the Q4 results, the company will be reporting in three operating segments: Luxury - Mytheresa (that is, the legacy Mytheresa standalone business); Luxury – NAP & MRP (Net-A-Porter and Mr Porter); and Off-Price (the Yoox and The Outnet businesses).

Richemont annual sales rise, but inventory provisioning hits fashion profit
— the owner of Chloé, Alaïa, Dunhill, Cartier and more — revealed its full-year figures on Friday saying the 12 months to the end of March saw a 'robust' performance. But while there was good news, there were also some negative figures in the report. See catwalk Group sales rose 4% to €21.4 billion with Q4 sales up 8% (or 7% at constant exchange rates) and with its Jewellery Maisons up in double digits for the quarter. Annual gross profit was up 2% at €14.319 billion, although the gross margin fell from 68.1% to 66.9%. Operating profit also fell 7% to £4.467 billion with the operating margin down from 23.3% to 20.9%. But operating profit only fell 4% at constant exchange rates and it included €72 million of non-recurring costs. Profit for the year from continuing operations was down 1% at €3.762 billion and the loss for the year from discontinued operations was just over €1 billion, narrower than the €1.46 billion of the year before, and mainly due to the non-cash writedown of YNAP. However, final profit for the year was up at €2.75 billion from €2.355 billion. Year of change It was a transformational year for the business in which it made a number of key changes, particularly the promotion of Nicolas Bos to CEO; the addition of Italian jewellery Maison Vhernier to the portfolio; and the finalisation of the sale of YNAP to Mytheresa in April. Richemont now holds a 33% stake in the newly created LuxExperience, which owns the YNAP webstores and Mytheresa. As mentioned, one piece of good news was that the company's growth was led by its Jewellery Maisons with full-year sales up 8% at actual and constant exchange rates and the operating margin at 31.9%. See catwalk Also on the plus side, its 'Other' division, which includes the fashion labels, saw sales up 7% at actual and constant exchange rates, although the operating margin was -3.7%. The Fashion & Accessories Maisons' margin specifically was hit by 'inventory provisioning'. More good news came as it said it saw double-digit growth across almost all regions, although Asia Pacific wasn't in that group. Asia Pacific remains a problem for the business and while jewellery was a star category, its Specialist Watchmakers were another problem with sales down 13% and just a 5.3% operating margin. Chairman Johann Rupert said the performance was robust given the 'persistently uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment' as it 'maintained our focus on nurturing Maisons' current and future growth, investing in our distribution network, manufacturing assets and quality craftsmanship.' He added that after a 'resilient' first half, sales performance accelerated in the second part of the year, with a 10% rise in the third quarter followed by the aforementioned 8% in Q4 at actual exchange rates. Over the year, most regions grew in double digits at both actual and constant exchange rates, more than offsetting the decline in Asia Pacific, led by China, 'illustrating the value of our balanced regional footprint'. Notable growth rates included Europe at 10%, the Americas at 16%, Japan at 25% and the Middle East & Africa at 15% (actual exchange rates). Direct to client sales rose further, driven by both retail and online, representing 76% of overall sales. Brand strength Diving deeper into the individual divisions, sales for its 'Other' business area reached € 2.8 billion, an increase of 7% at actual and constant exchange rates, underpinned by faster growth in the second half. All regions other than Asia Pacific grew, with notable double-digit performances in the Americas, Europe and Middle East & Africa. Alaïa recorded another year of strong growth, and Peter Millar maintained its solid momentum. Overall, ready-to-wear sales rose by double-digits across the Maisons, with 'notably an encouraging performance from Chloé'. It added that G/FORE, previously under Peter Millar's umbrella since its acquisition in 2018, was added to Richemont's Fashion & Accessories portfolio as a distinct Maison in February. This 'marks a significant milestone for the Maison, whose products are sold in top golf shops, resorts, department stores and dedicated retail boutiques, reflecting its remarkable success to date'. But despite the plus points, the 'Other' division's operating result was a €102 million loss for the year, resulting in the previously referenced negative margin. Within this, Fashion & Accessories Maisons posted a -2% operating margin when excluding targeted inventory provisioning. The star Jewellery Maisons — Buccellati, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels (and Vhernier since October) – saw their sales reach €15.3 billion. Their 8% sales increase, combined with disciplined operating costs and targeted price increases, helped mitigate the impact of higher raw materials costs, notably gold, on profitability. The Jewellery Maisons delivered a €4.9 billion operating profit, up 4% versus the prior year, corresponding to a solid margin of almost 32%. The poor performance at the Specialist Watchmakers had been previously flagged with the company saying in its H1 report six months ago that a slowdown was affecting volumes. This was led by demand weakness in China, but with greater resilience for high-end price segments. While the watch market remained subdued in the second half, some improvement was visible outside of China. The 13% sales fall was partly due to the unit's high exposure to Asia Pacific, particularly to China, while the other regions 'showed resilience'. The rate of decline was softer in the second half of the year, with notable growth in the Americas. While the Maisons 'demonstrated discipline on operating expenses, the overall decline in sales had a significant impact on production and fixed operating costs absorption'. In addition, with its HQ and most of its production located in Switzerland, the strengthening Swiss franc weighed on the division's operating result, which fell to €175 million for the year.

LuxExperience says Mytheresa saw continuing sales growth in Q3
LuxExperience has reported Q3 results for its legacy Mytheresa business and said it saw a 'solid' net sales rise of almost 4% plus 'continued strong adjusted EBITDA profitability at a 4% margin'. Q3 of FY25 covers the three months to the end of March and the company said it saw the growth despite a tough market environment. Highlights included what it called an 'outstanding' Average Order Value, continued gross margin expansion, falling return rates, record-high NPS and 'strong profitability', although it remains loss-making on a reported net income basis.
