The sports clothing dealer Gymshark recorded strong sales growth in the 2024 financial year, but the profit continued to decline.
The proceeds climbed 9 percent to 607.3 million British pounds (714.5 million euros) for the year ending on July 31, 2024. As was shown in the documents of the British authority Companies House, Gymshark recorded an input tax of £ 11.9 million – a decline compared to the 13.1 million pounds in the previous year. This is the third year in a row with falling profits.
However, it was found that the company carried out a number of reviews of its end-to-end processes during the reporting period. Gymshark stated that this has identified opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its processes, some of which have already been implemented.
Further investments in the brand, their positioning for future growth and new technology projects led to an increase in the adjusted result before interest, taxes and depreciation, which increased from £ 45.3 million to £ 51.7 million in the annual comparison. The gross profit margin meanwhile rose from 60 percent to 63 percent.
Gymshark introduces a three-year strategy plan
Gymshark said that the company’s performance in the first half of the financial year was particularly strong during the shopping event Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The proceeds in the second half of the year were supported by the start of a Wholesale partnership with the British department store Selfridges and the expansion of his activities in the states of the Golf cooperation council to partnership with the company conglomerate Al Tayer.
In the report, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company, Ben Francis, admitted that “global events and the macroeconomic environment remain unpredictable” and Gymshark would therefore ensure “careful management and agile reactions”. “The board is aware that the consumers are also affected by these trends and takes this into account as part of the company’s Go-to-Market strategy,” says the explanation.

The company also expects further sales increases for the 2025 financial year, although profitability should also improve.
