The Telgter Textildiscounter Takko Fashion had to accept a slight decline in sales in the first half of the 2025/26 financial year. However, the adjusted operating result was higher than in the previous year. According to a message published on Monday, the retailer recently made “significant progress in implementing its growth strategy, despite the challenging market conditions”.
In the first half of the year, which ended on July 31, the company’s adjusted net turnover was therefore 631.0 million euros. This corresponded to a decline of 0.7 percent compared to the same period last year. In the second quarter, the corresponding revenues fell by 1.5 percent to 343.5 million euros.
Adjusted EBITDA increases by six percent
Despite the slight losses in sales, the retailer made progress in profitability in the first half of the year. The result, which was adjusted for special effects before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITDA), exceeded the corresponding level of the previous year by six percent and reached a height of 103.3 million euros.
Management was confirmed by the current results in its strategy. “The robust results illustrate the company’s continued focus on offer optimization and cost efficiency,” says a message.
According to his own statements, Takko opened 22 new branches in the course of the first half of the year and modernized 74 existing locations across Europe.
