Q1 FY26 Results: LuxExperience reports strong results and improvements across all three segments; Mytheresa clearly standing out with Net Sales Growth of +12% and Adjusted EBITDA more than doubling in Q1 FY26

businesswire.com

MUNICH, Germany--( BUSINESS WIRE)--LuxExperience B.V. (NYSE:LUXE) (the “Company”), today announced its financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2026 ended September 30, 2025. The leading luxury multi-brand digital platform reported strong results and improvements across all three segments. Mytheresa demonstrated continued outstanding Net Sales growth and significantly increased Adjusted EBITDA profitability in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. NET-A-PORTER and MR PORTER clearly show the first signs of the commercial turnaround while YOOX off-price Net Sales continued to decline as expected due to the focus on the healthy core of the business.

Michael Kliger, Chief Executive Officer of LuxExperience, said, ”I am very pleased with the strong results and improvements across all three segments. Mytheresa continues to demonstrate our unique ability to deliver strong growth and profitability despite ongoing macro headwinds. NET-A-PORTER and MR PORTER clearly show signs of the commercial turnaround that will drive renewed growth and profitability after years of decline. In the off-price segment we follow the anticipated transformation and I am pleased that we have been off to a fast start here also.

Kliger continued, “LuxExperience is in the perfect position to benefit from the continued growth of digital luxury and the ongoing consolidation in the sector. We expect to become the one and only destination for luxury enthusiasts worldwide.”

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements relating to financing activities; future sales, expenses, and profitability; future development and expected growth of our business and industry; our ability to execute our business model and our business strategy; having available sufficient cash and borrowing capacity to meet working capital, debt service and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months; and projected capital spending. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially from those stated or implied by these forward-looking statements. In evaluating these statements and our prospects, you should carefully consider the factors set forth below.

The risk that the completed YNAP acquisition and the post-acquisition integration could have an adverse effect on the ability of YNAP to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their brand partners and customers and on their operating results and businesses generally; the risk that problems may arise in successfully integrating the businesses of YNAP and Mytheresa, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected; the risk that the combined company may be unable to achieve cost-cutting synergies or that it may take longer than expected to achieve those synergies; LuxExperience’s ability to effectively compete in a highly competitive industry; LuxExperience’s ability to respond to consumer demands, spending and tastes; general economic conditions, including economic conditions resulting from deteriorating geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions, such as the recent global trade war that escalated after the U.S. imposed tariffs on countries across the globe, and the adoption of retaliatory tariffs by those countries, that may adversely impact consumer demand; LuxExperience’s ability to acquire new customers and retain existing customers; consumers of luxury products may not choose to shop online in sufficient numbers; the volatility and difficulty in predicting the luxury fashion industry; LuxExperience’s reliance on consumer discretionary spending; and LuxExperience’s ability to maintain average order levels and other factors.

We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If any such risks or uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, our results could differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements we make.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date such statements are made.

Further information on these and other factors that could affect our financial results is included in filings we make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from time to time, including the section titled “Risk Factors” included in the Form 20-F filed on October 30, 2025. These documents are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on the SEC Filings section of the Investor Relations section of our website at: https://investors.luxexperience.com.

The acquisition of YOOX Net-A-Porter Group S.p.A. (“YNAP”) (together with its subsidiaries, “YNAP Sub-Group”) by LuxExperience was completed on April 23, 2025 ("YNAP Acquisition"). The results of YNAP are included within the consolidated financial statements of LuxExperience for the period beginning on the date of the acquisition through the end of the respective period presented and the results of Mytheresa are included for the entirety of all periods presented.

ABOUT NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OPERATING METRICS

Our non-IFRS financial measures include:

Illustrative key operating and financial metrics by segment are non-IFRS financial measures that we present by segment for each period and were prepared by combining the historical standalone statements of operations for each of legacy YNAP and Mytheresa. These measures are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial condition would have been had the acquisition actually occurred on the date indicated, nor do they purport to project the future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial condition for any future period or as of any future date. In addition, these measures have not been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

We are not able to forecast net income (loss) on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect net income (loss), including, but not limited to, Income taxes and Interest expense and, as a result, are unable to provide a reconciliation to forecasted Adjusted EBITDA.

Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) is an operative measure and means the total Euro value of orders processed. GMV is inclusive of merchandise value, shipping and duty. It is net of returns, value added taxes and cancellations. GMV does not represent revenue earned by us. We use GMV as an indicator for the usage of our platform that is not influenced by the mix of direct sales and commission sales. The indicators we use to monitor usage of our platform include, among others, active customers, total orders shipped and GMV.

SEGMENT REALIGNMENT

Effective for the first quarter ended September 30, 2025, LuxExperience is realigning its reportable segments to correspond with changes to its operating model to reflect its new management structure and organizational responsibilities following the acquisition of YNAP. As further described herein, LuxExperience's three new reportable segments are: Luxury | Mytheresa, Luxury | NAP & MRP, and Off-price | YOOX. THE OUTNET is classified as “discontinued operations” and is no longer considered part of our LuxExperience’s core financial performance.

Illustrative key operating and financial metrics by segment for the

three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025

The following illustrative segment information for Luxury | Mytheresa, Luxury | NAP & MRP and Off-Price | YOOX is presented as if these segments had been included in LuxExperience Group’s management reporting for the three months ended September 30, 2024. These segments were not presented in the Company’s unaudited quarterly report for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as the YNAP Group was subsequently acquired on April 23, 2025, and therefore was not owned by the Company during the prior year comparative period presented. The following segment information should not be viewed as a substitute for LuxExperience Group’s segment reporting. Further, the segment information presented here is not necessarily indicative of LuxExperience Group’s results to be expected for any future periods.

THE OUTNET business under Off-Price segment has been classified as discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Therefore, the results of THE OUTNET business has been removed from the Off-Price segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Certain members of management and supervisory board members have been granted share-based compensation for which the share-based compensation expense will be recognized upon defined vesting schedules in the future periods. Our methodology to adjust for share-based compensation and subsequently calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Net Income includes both share-based compensation expense connected to the IPO and share-based compensation expense recognized in connection with grants under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI) for the Mytheresa Group key management members and share-based compensation expense due to Supervisory Board Members Plans. We do not consider share-based compensation expense to be indicative of our core operating performance.

Other transaction-related, certain legal and other expenses represent (i) professional fees, including advisory and accounting fees, related to potential transactions, (ii) certain legal and other expenses incurred outside the ordinary course of our business, and (iii) other non-recurring expenses incurred in connection with the costs of closing distribution centers.

Share-based compensation [expense] includes expenses related to share-based compensation grants made to certain members of our management and Supervisory Board for which the share-based compensation expense will be recognized upon defined vesting schedules in the future periods. Our methodology to adjust for share-based compensation and subsequently calculate Adjusted EBITDA includes both share-based compensation expense connected to the IPO and share-based compensation expense recognized in connection with grants under the LTI for LuxExperience key management members and share-based compensation expense due to Supervisory Board Members Plan. We do not consider share-based compensation expense to be indicative of our core operating performance. This adjustment impacts sales, general and administrative expenses.
