The Hamburg jewelry chain Bijou Brigitte mode Accessoires AG felt the current adverse market conditions in the first quarter of the 2026 financial year.
As the company announced on Wednesday, according to preliminary figures, sales in the period from January to March amounted to 65.2 million euros. This corresponded to a decline of 1.7 percent compared to the same quarter of the previous year. The retailer explained that the development was “essentially due to the continued subdued consumer sentiment in Germany.”
At the same time, the company presented its dividend proposal for the 2025 financial year. At the upcoming annual general meeting on June 23rd, the supervisory board and management board want to offer shareholders “a basic dividend of 3.50 euros per share as well as a special dividend of 2.50 euros per share”. Based on the year-end price of EUR 41.30, this would correspond to a total dividend yield of 14.5 percent, according to a statement.
According to the preliminary, unaudited figures that have already been published, Bijou Brigitte increased its profit before income taxes to 34.7 million euros last year. The full results for 2025 are expected to be presented in April.
