Adore Beauty Group Ltd. ( (AU:ABY) ) has issued an announcement.
Adore Beauty reported strong first-half FY26 results, with revenue up 8.7% to $111.9 million and record underlying EBITDA of $4.1 million, driven by operating leverage, owned brands and strict cost control despite slightly lower gross margins. The group accelerated its omni-channel strategy by opening 10 new stores, expanding its loyalty program and app usage, and boosting new customer acquisition while sharply reducing marketing costs, supporting improved revenue quality and reaffirmed profit margin guidance.
Customer growth reached its fastest pace in four years as acquisition costs fell 56%, lifting active customers to 850,400 and loyalty members to over 509,000, who contributed the majority of sales. Adore’s new retail stores, particularly in underpenetrated markets, are delivering higher conversion, an online halo effect and a larger share of less promotionally driven revenue, while continued strength in iKOU across all channels underpins the company’s mid-term profitability ambitions.
The company’s expanded store footprint to 18 locations, with six more confirmed for calendar 2026, is central to its strategy of improving brand awareness and driving profitable cross-channel growth. Positive operating cash flow and cash on hand of $8.2 million, combined with reaffirmed EBITDA margin guidance, signal operational resilience in a challenging retail environment and support ongoing investment in omni-channel capabilities and higher-margin offerings.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:ABY) stock is a Hold with a A$0.97 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Adore Beauty Group Ltd. stock, see the AU:ABY Stock Forecast page.
