Douglas AG (DOU.DE) Monday said that, based on preliminary figures, the company generated sales of 1.67 billion euros in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, up 1.7 percent from the 1.65 billion euros in the year-ago period. This follows prior quarter sales growth of 6.5 percent, excluding Disapo.
On the XETRA Exchange, DOU.DE is down 3.2 percent on Monday's trading at 11.58 euros.
The German perfume retailer said that preliminary adjusted EBITDA margin for the first quarter was around 19.9 percent, down from the 21.5 percent recorded in the same period last year. The margin decline was mainly due to pressure on gross margins, reflecting heightened customer price sensitivity and unfavorable product mix effects.
For the rest of fiscal 2026, Douglas AG expects sales growth to be measured against lower prior-year figures. The company also reaffirmed its full-year outlook of sales between 4.65 billion euros and 4.80 billion euros, an adjusted EBITDA margin of around 16.5 percent.
The company said that it will report its first quarter results on February 11.
