Birkenstock Holding plc ( (BIRK) ) has issued an announcement.
On February 12, 2026, Birkenstock reported fiscal first-quarter 2026 results for the period ended December 31, 2025, with revenue rising 11% to €402 million on a reported basis and 18% in constant currency, outpacing its full-year growth target. Strong holiday demand across clogs, shearling styles and closed-toe footwear drove double-digit constant-currency gains in all regions, led by B2B channels and supported by nine new company-owned stores, bringing its global retail network to 106 locations.
Despite a 460-basis-point drop in gross margin to 55.7% due to adverse currency moves, higher U.S. tariffs and channel mix effects, net profit jumped 151% to €51 million and earnings per share rose to €0.27, while adjusted EBITDA grew 4% with margin compression tied mainly to FX and tariffs. The company continued to invest for growth, allocating about €38 million in first-quarter capital expenditures—including €18 million for a new production site in Wittichenau—while ending the quarter with €229 million in cash and net leverage of 1.7x, underscoring both strong demand and a strategy of expanding capacity to meet its long-term ambitions.
The most recent analyst rating on (BIRK) stock is a Buy with a $42.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Birkenstock Holding plc stock, see the BIRK Stock Forecast page.
