Mulberry Group plc
Quarter 3 Trading Update
Strong festive trading period underpinned by full price sales mix and newness;
Positive customer response to "the right product, at the right price" strategy
Mulberry Group plc (the "Group" or "Mulberry"), the British sustainable luxury
brand, is pleased to announce a strong trading performance for the 13 weeks to
27 December 2025 (the "period").
Group Total Sales YoY % 1 Retail & Digital LFL Sales YoY % 2
Total +5.3% +11%
UK Retail & Digital +3.5% +6.5%
USA Retail & Digital +12.7% +12.6%
Europe Retail & Digital (excluding UK) +14.9% +27.2%
Asia Pacific Retail & Digital +0.8% +12.2%
1 All Sales at Actual Currency Rates. "Group" indicates inclusive of
Wholesale
2 LFL sales represent the result of comparable digital and store sales
During the period, the Group delivered revenue growth across all markets, with
a successful focus on full-price sales in the lead up to and during the
festive period, against a highly promotional wider retail market. As a result,
Group LFL sales in Digital & Ecommerce were +11%, with Retail full-price
sales at +19%.
The strength of this performance reflects the Group's ongoing delivery of its
new strategy - focused on simplifying the business, refreshing the brand, and
more fully leveraging customer insights.
As part of the strategy, there was a refocus on the UK market and customer,
and total sales in the region were up 3.5%, with LFL up at +6.5%. Within this,
full-price was the focus, and delivered a larger proportion of the sales mix
online than prior year, amid a backdrop of more challenging growth in the
broader retail market. This indicates the product is resonating positively
with the UK consumer. In the US, we accelerated growth and achieved sales
growth of 12.7%, while in Europe we saw sales increase by 14.9%. In Asia
Pacific, sales also increased, despite the continued right-sizing of our store
estate as part of our simplification strategy - and LFL sales were +12.2%
following a strong response to the Double 11 shopping festival in November
2025.
The Group's performance is particularly encouraging as it is driven by a
strong customer response to our differentiated product range, at a time when
we have been realigning Mulberry's identity as a British lifestyle brand, and
reinvigorating its cultural relevance. Mulberry has successfully re-engaged
their existing customer base as well engaging new shoppers across both retail
and digital, reinforcing the core offering and signalling the Back to the
Mulberry Spirit strategy is working.
aNDREA BALDo, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, COMMENTED:
"We have delivered a strong performance during the festive period. While there
remains plenty more to be done, it is encouraging to see the early signs of
our 'Back to the Mulberry Spirit' strategy delivering. We have maintained
disciplined cost control, while at the same time growing full-price sales by
having products that resonate at the right price.
"The growth in sales across our markets show that our products are resonating
with customers around the world, as we continue our focus on re-invigorating
Mulberry and injecting creativity back into an iconic brand so many people
know and love. The response to our Christmas campaign has been in line with
expectation, with particularly strong demand for the Roxanne, the Hackney and
the continued resurgence of the Bayswater.
"I'd like to thank my colleagues whose hard work ensures we enter the final
quarter of our financial year - Jan to March 2026 - with good momentum. We
remain laser focused on continuing to deliver our strategy and build a
sustainable, profitable business for the long term."
