Achieved group-adjusted EBITDA break-even just 15 months post-acquisition by applying Mytheresa's 'secret sauce'—focusing on top-tier customers, full-price selling, and rigorous cost discipline—to the distressed YNAP business.
Mytheresa reached a EUR 1 billion milestone in FY 2026, outperforming the industry through superior customer economics where top customers (4.8% of base) generated 48.4% of total GMV.
NET-A-PORTER and MR PORTER reached a strategic inflection point, returning to top-line growth and positive adjusted EBITDA in Q4 by pivoting from promotional discounting to editorial-led luxury discovery.
YOOX's turnaround is being driven by a deliberate retreat from high-cost overseas markets to focus on a 'healthy core' in Europe, resulting in losses being cut nearly in half compared to the prior year.
The U.S. market remains the primary growth engine for the luxury segments, while European performance is increasingly polarized, favoring off-price demand in sluggish domestic markets like Germany and France.
Operational efficiency improved significantly through a 430 basis point reduction in the group SG&A cost ratio over the fiscal year, supported by a leaner operating model and simplified tech environment.

FY 2027 Outlook and Medium-Term Strategy

Management expects accelerated top-line growth in FY 2027 with group-adjusted EBITDA margins rising to 2%-3%, supported by high single-digit net sales growth in Q1.
The group maintains a medium-term target of EUR 4 billion in net sales and a 7%-9% adjusted EBITDA margin, assuming an annual profitability increase of 150 to 250 basis points.
YOOX is projected to reach adjusted EBITDA break-even by FY 2028 as it continues to transition toward a leaner, demand-driven pricing system and a simplified tech stack.
Cash utilization for the remainder of the transformation is estimated at EUR 150 million to EUR 250 million, with management maintaining a minimum cash buffer of EUR 200 million to EUR 300 million.
Strategic tech milestones for FY 2027 include a major upgrade to buying and merchandising operations for NET-A-PORTER and MR PORTER and the ongoing migration of webshop platforms.

Structural Changes and Financial Position

Successfully concluded the divestment of THE OUTNET in April 2026 and finished the transition services agreement in July, allowing full resource concentration on the core YOOX business.
Strengthened the capital structure by adding Citibank to the banking syndicate, increasing the revolving credit facility (RCF) to EUR 125 million.
Authorized a share repurchase program for ADRs, providing management with the discretion to execute based on market conditions, though no implementation has occurred yet.
Reported a positive impact from IEEPA tariff refunds in Q4, particularly for NET-A-PORTER due to its U.S. warehouse setup, though management noted the business remains viable under various tariff scenarios.

Management attributed U.S. strength to a high-end consumer willing to spend and effective marketing spend, while noting that China's recovery has been slower than anticipated.
Europe is seeing success for YOOX as middle-class consumers face inflationary pressures, while Mytheresa benefits from wealth agglomeration in regions like Italy and Spain.

ERP platform migration and tech infrastructure milestones

The group has successfully migrated NET-A-PORTER and MR PORTER to Business Central with minimal business disruption.
A significant upgrade to buying and merchandising systems is scheduled for autumn, and early demos of the new app and website architecture are reportedly ahead of schedule.

Drivers of double-digit Average Order Value (AOV) growth

AOV growth to EUR 875 at Mytheresa is driven by a mix shift toward top customers who shop higher-value items and the expansion of the fine jewelry category (items ranging EUR 20,000-EUR 80,000).
Management emphasized that higher AOV is a critical lever for improving unit economics across the luxury segments.

Marketing strategy and editorial investment for NET-A-PORTER

Management is satisfied with current marketing levels, which combine high-reach editorial content (e.g., Porter magazine covers) with newly optimized digital marketing algorithms.
The company expressed a willingness to increase marketing spend if further opportunities for high-quality customer acquisition are identified.
