BUSINESS UPDATE
6% ORGANIC GROWTH IN FY 2025
At the Capital Markets Day (CMD) in 2023, Pandora highlighted its vision to transform the perception of
the brand into a full jewellery brand in the accessible luxury market. Over the past two years, Pandora has
taken steps along this journey and stands as a company with strong foundations, a unique vertically
integrated value chain and a healthy brand. Having said that, Pandora sees clear opportunities to optimise
execution around this vision to drive stronger like-for-like growth and capture share in the accessible
jewellery market. Pandora will also adapt to the extraordinary cost environment, primarily relating to
commodity prices, and is working at speed to reinforce its position as a precious metal jewellery brand in
the accessible luxury space.
In 2025, Pandora witnessed a generally soft consumer backdrop, impacting in-store traffic in some markets,
and a highly challenging cost environment with the announcements of tariffs, foreign exchange movements
and surging commodity prices. Despite this, Pandora delivered 6% organic growth in FY 2025, a gross
margin of 79.1%, an EBIT margin of 23.9% and a resulting 5% EPS growth Y/Y (15% when adjusted for the
impact of foreign exchange rates). Whilst the performance remained resilient overall, Pandora’s top-line
performance was below its own expectations and Pandora sees clear opportunities to step up efforts across
the value chain to drive further brand heat and excitement to engage more consumers in the current
challenging environment.
In Q4 2025, Pandora delivered 4% organic growth and maintained strong profitability with an EBIT margin
of 33.5%. The organic growth of 4% comprised of LFL growth of 0% and network expansion & other of 4%.
The 0% LFL growth was lower than expected, reflecting weaker holiday trading in November and
December, with North America being particularly impacted. The strong EBIT margin of 33.5%, down only
120bp Y/Y despite 440bp of headwinds from commodity prices, tariffs and foreign exchange, was
supported by a strong gross margin of 78.1% and good cost control on the OPEX lines. Pricing and
efficiencies continued to contribute positively to the gross margin.
In North America, Q4 2025 LFL growth ended at 2%. As mentioned above, trading did slow in November
and December due to lower traffic in the stores, reflecting the step-down in consumer sentiment. LFL in
EMEA landed at -1% LFL. Strong LFL growth in Spain, Poland and Portugal was offset by ongoing weakness
in Italy where initial actions are yet to filter through into a notable improvement in traffic. Performance in
Germany and UK improved sequentially albeit remained in negative LFL. Finally, LFL growth in Asia-Pacific
and Latin America was 2% and -7%, respectively.
By channel, growth was driven by online which saw 4% LFL in Q4 2025. Pandora’s own physical network
delivered -2% LFL in Q4 2025.
STRATEGIC EVOLUTION OF PANDORA – BERTA DE PABLOS-BARBIER AS NEW PRESIDENT & CEO
In September 2025, Pandora announced that Alexander Lacik would retire after seven years as President
and CEO, and that Berta de Pablos-Barbier — Chief Marketing Officer since November 2024 - would succeed
him as President and CEO. Berta de Pablos-Barbier formally assumed the role on 1 January 2026.
Pandora is supported by strong underlying foundations, including healthy brand fundamentals, solid
collections, and a fully integrated value chain spanning upstream and downstream activities, providing a
competitive advantage in speed, quality, and scale.
