Fashion retailer AllSaints has delivered a noteworthy fiscal performance, marking its third consecutive year of record results. The company’s operating profit surged by a substantial 40%, reaching £39.9 million, which underscores its robust financial health.
Additionally, AllSaints reported an 18% increase in EBITDA, a testament to the firm’s efficient management of operational costs and streamlined processes. Group sales, including those of the New York-based luxury menswear brand John Varvatos, saw a slight uptick of 0.6%, totalling £459.5 million.
Notably, the core brand AllSaints also achieved a 0.6% rise in sales, reaching £393.5 million. This performance is largely attributed to a strategic reduction in promotional and markdown activities, coupled with a shift in sales dynamics towards wholesale, franchise, and licensing channels, thereby enhancing market reach.
In his statement, AllSaints CEO Peter Wood expressed delight over maintaining record performance for the third consecutive year. Wood highlighted the brand’s focus on expanding its wholesale, franchise, and licensing partnerships globally, allowing the retailer to connect with a broader customer base than ever before.
The brand has introduced several new products this year, including a fragrance line, childrenswear range named smAllSaints, men’s tailoring, and an eyewear collection. These launches, along with ongoing investments in new and existing stores and technological infrastructure, have fortified AllSaints’ market presence.
Currently trading in 27 countries, AllSaints has further cemented its future growth by inaugurating a new European distribution centre in the Netherlands, which will support its expansion plans across the continent. The company remains confident about its prospects, leveraging its strategic initiatives to foster sustainable development.
AllSaints’ strategic focus on operational excellence and market expansion has secured its position as a formidable player in the fashion industry.
