The company continued its store expansion, opening 54 new stores and closing or divesting 57 stores during the year. The Sports Direct roll-out is on track, with plans for an initial roll-out of at least 50 stores over the next six years. The company is targeting high single-digit EBIT growth for FY26, with a similar level of EBIT in H1 FY26 compared to H1 FY25, followed by growth in H2 FY26.
The company is targeting high single-digit EBIT growth for FY26 (inclusive of the startup costs associated with Sports Direct). The outlook for H1 FY26 EBIT is for a similar level of EBIT to H1 FY25 then growth in H2 FY26. This target is based on achieving low single-digit LFL sales growth, growth from new and annualising stores, incremental profit from The Athlete's Foot franchise acquisition program, new distributed brands and continued growth in Hoka and Nude Lucy. Gross margin % and CODB % are planned to be broadly flat to FY25.
Accent Group continues to pursue a range of growth opportunities, including the roll-out of Sports Direct stores, with plans for an initial roll-out of at least 50 stores over the next six years, and the continued roll-out of new stores across its core banners and new businesses, with at least 30 new stores planned in FY26 (excluding Sports Direct). The company also has a strong pipeline of committed wholesale orders, led by Skechers and Hoka, and sees further growth opportunities in its Nude Lucy and Stylerunner brands.
