BIRKENSTOCK REPORTS fiscal first quarter 2026 results; strong holiday demand drove revenue growth of 18% in Constant fx, ahead the full-year target of 13-15%
Birkenstock Holding plc (together with its subsidiaries, "BIRKENSTOCK”, the “Company” or “we”, NYSE: BIRK) today announces financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2025. As pre-announced on January 12 and January 28, 2026, the Company reports first quarter revenue growth of 11% on a reported basis and 18% in constant currency, ahead of the Company's Fiscal 2026 guidance of 13-15% in constant currency, driven by strong holiday demand for its products across all segments, channels and categories.
Financial highlights for the first quarter ended December 31, 2025 (compared to the first quarter ended December 31, 2024):
Oliver Reichert, CEO of BIRKENSTOCK and Member of the Board of Directors of the Company: “Our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 show the continued strong demand for our brand throughout the important holiday season. As we discussed during our Capital Markets Day in New York on January 28th, we believe we are a one-of-a-kind purpose-driven brand with a huge runway for growth ahead. Our unique business model is designed for resilience. We presented our three-year plan which calls for 13-15% revenue growth in constant currency and 30%+ EBITDA margin. Our vertically integrated supply chain means we are capacity constrained by design. We will steer our business by geography, channel and product to maximize profit per pair and maintain strong brand equity."
Fiscal first quarter 2026 results demonstrate strong consumer demand for BIRKENSTOCK products during important holiday shopping season
BIRKENSTOCK reports fiscal first quarter 2026 revenue of EUR 402 million, up 11% compared to the first quarter of 2025 on a reported basis and up 18% in constant currency. BIRKENSTOCK experienced robust holiday demand, especially for clogs, elevated shearling executions and other closed-toe shoes and boots.
B2B revenue grew 18% on a reported basis and 24% in constant currency, supported by strong holiday demand and sell-through. The majority of this growth came from within existing doors driven by an expanded assortment of BIRKENSTOCK styles and very strong full-price sell-through at key partners. DTC revenue was up 4% on a reported basis and 12% in constant currency. The Company further amplified its own-store footprint with the addition of nine new own stores during the quarter, bringing the total number of own retail stores to 106 as of December 31, 2025.
Double-digit constant currency revenue growth in all segments
In the Americas segment, BIRKENSTOCK delivered revenue growth of 5% on a reported basis and 14% in constant currency in the first quarter of 2026. The strong double-digit constant currency growth was led by the B2B channel, where the Company continues to take share with key partners, especially emerging youth focused retailers and sports specialty stores. The Company opened one additional own retail store, bringing the total in the Americas to 15.
In EMEA, revenue growth was 16% on a reported basis and 17% in constant currency. Similar to Americas, the B2B channel led the growth in EMEA. The Company opened three new own retail stores, bringing the total in EMEA to 45.
In the APAC segment, BIRKENSTOCK achieved revenue growth of 28% on a reported basis and 37% on a constant currency basis. DTC growth outpaced B2B in APAC by over two times, with strength in both online and own retail. The Company opened five new own retail stores, bringing the total in APAC to 46.

Non-IFRS Financial Information and other metrics
This press release includes “non-IFRS measures” that are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). Specifically, we make use of the non-IFRS financial measures adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, constant currency revenue growth, adjusted EPS (Basic/Diluted), adjusted net profit, net leverage and net debt, which are not recognized measures under IFRS and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with IFRS.
We discuss non-IFRS financial measures in this press release because they are a basis upon which our management assesses our performance, and we believe they reflect underlying trends and are indicators of our business. Additionally, we believe that such non-IFRS financial measures and similar measures are widely used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a means of evaluating a company’s performance.
Our non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, as they do not reflect all the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with IFRS. Our non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation, nor should they be regarded as a substitute for, or superior to, measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation is provided in the tables accompanying this press release for each non-IFRS financial measure in this press release to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation is not provided for any forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures as such a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts.
Average selling price (“ASP”) is calculated by dividing our total revenue from sales of footwear pairs by the number of footwear pairs sold. Prior to fiscal 2024, ASP was calculated by dividing our total revenue by our total number of units of all products sold. The difference between these two methods is immaterial.
Our management uses group ASP in managing and monitoring the performance of the business.
We believe presenting a directional change in ASP provides useful information to investors as it helps facilitate an enhanced understanding of our operating results and enables them to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons, particularly because a change in ASP is typically one of several principal drivers of our revenue development between periods. However, in channels and segments, ASP can vary significantly based on various factors and circumstances, and, therefore, management believes that quantifying ASP or the directional change thereof at segment or channel level would provide a level of granularity not considered helpful and potentially misleading.
In addition, we also present ASP growth on a constant currency basis. We define constant currency
ASP as ASP excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate movements and use constant currency ASP to
determine constant currency ASP growth on a comparative basis. Constant currency ASP is calculated by
translating the current period foreign currency ASP using the prior period exchange rate. Constant currency
ASP growth is calculated by determining the increase in current period ASP as compared to the prior period
ASP, where current period foreign currency ASP is translated using prior period exchange rates. We believe
that presenting ASP growth on a constant currency basis offers valuable insight to both management and
investors by isolating the Company’s operational performance from foreign exchange rate fluctuations,
which are beyond the Company’s control.

(1) Represents the distributor mark-up applied to inventories sold by the Company to Birkenstock Australia Pty Ltd prior to acquisition and the subsequent impact on cost of sales as Birkenstock Australia Pty Ltd sells that inventory to third-party customers post-acquisition.
(2) Represents costs associated with the acquisition of Birkenstock Australia Pty Ltd. Costs mainly include legal fees, consulting fees and travel expenses.
(3) Represents the excess of the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Birkenstock Australia Pty Ltd over the preliminary aggregate consideration transferred.
(4) Represents the primarily non-cash impact of foreign exchange rates within profit (loss). We do not consider these gains and losses representative of operating performance of the business because they are primarily driven by fluctuations in the USD to Euro foreign exchange rate on intercompany receivables for inventory and intercompany loans.
(5) Represents income tax effects for the adjustments as outlined above, except for unrealized foreign exchange gain (loss) and share-based compensation expenses since these have not been treated as tax deductible in the initial tax calculation.
