Birkenstock lifts 2026 outlook after Q3 revenue growth
Birkenstock Holding plc reported strong fiscal Q3 2026 growth and raised full-year guidance.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Birkenstock Holding plc reported strong fiscal Q3 2026 growth and raised full-year guidance. Revenue reached EUR 720 million, up 13% reported and 15% in constant currency, led by double-digit growth in all regions and faster expansion in direct-to-consumer than B2B.
Adjusted EBITDA rose to EUR 242 million, up 11%, with a 33.7% margin, while adjusted EPS increased 19% to EUR 0.74. GAAP net profit declined 15% to EUR 110 million and EPS fell to EUR 0.60, mainly due to non-recurring, non-cash costs from an accelerated share repurchase and refinancing. Full-year 2026 guidance now targets 15% constant-currency revenue growth, reported revenue at the high end of EUR 2,300–2,350 million, and at least EUR 710 million of adjusted EBITDA with a 30.2–30.5% margin.
The company completed a EUR 230 million accelerated share repurchase, reducing outstanding shares by 6 million, and issued EUR 900 million of 4.50% senior notes to redeem EUR 428.5 million of 5.25% notes and bolster cash for further buybacks. Cash and cash equivalents increased to EUR 694 million, with net leverage at 1.8x.
Positive
- Q3 constant-currency revenue up 15% to EUR 720 million, with double-digit growth across Americas, EMEA and APAC and faster expansion in direct-to-consumer than B2B.
- Adjusted profitability improving: Q3 adjusted net profit rose 15% to EUR 134 million and adjusted EPS increased 19% to EUR 0.74, while adjusted EBITDA grew 11% to EUR 242 million.
- Guidance raised for fiscal 2026: constant-currency revenue growth lifted to 15% and adjusted EBITDA to at least EUR 710 million with a 30.2–30.5% margin.
- Capital return and liquidity strengthened: EUR 230 million accelerated share repurchase cut share count by 6 million, while cash rose to EUR 694 million after refinancing and new 4.50% senior notes.
Negative
- GAAP earnings declined: Q3 net profit fell 15% to EUR 110 million and EPS decreased 13% to EUR 0.60, driven by non-recurring, non-cash ASR and refinancing expenses.
- Margins compressed: gross margin decreased 140 bps to 59.1% and adjusted EBITDA margin slipped 70 bps to 33.7%, mainly from foreign exchange and incremental U.S. tariffs.
- Leverage and tax burden rising: net leverage increased to 1.8x from 1.5x and fiscal 2026 tax-rate guidance rose to 30–31%, partly reflecting non-deductible refinancing and ASR-related expenses.

BIRKENSTOCK REPORTS fiscal third quarter 2026 results with 15% constant F/X revenue growth Led by DTC; raises guidance for FY26 Revenue growth to 15% in constant f/x and Adj. EBITDA to at least EUR 710 million
Birkenstock Holding plc (together with its subsidiaries, "BIRKENSTOCK”, the “Company” or “we”, NYSE: BIRK) today announces financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Company reports fiscal third quarter revenue growth of 13% on a reported basis and 15% in constant currency, at the high end of the Company's target of 13-15% for Fiscal 2026.
The Company is raising its Fiscal 2026 revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA guidance. Updated Fiscal 2026 guidance is as follows:
Financial highlights for the third quarter ended June 30, 2026 (compared to the third quarter ended June 30, 2025):
Oliver Reichert, CEO of BIRKENSTOCK and Member of the Board of Directors of the Company: “We performed exceptionally well in the third quarter and once again demonstrated the strength of our brand. Given this continued momentum, we raise our Fiscal 2026 guidance for revenue growth to 15% and Adjusted EBITDA to at least EUR 710 million. We continue to execute as planned across the business. Direct-to-consumer growth accelerated, outpacing B2B growth in the quarter, supported by the investments we are making in both own-retail and our digital business. EMEA delivered strong results and APAC remains on track to grow at twice the pace of the other segments for the full

year. Our closed-toe share of business continues to expand led by newness in both clogs and shoes. Importantly, we are accomplishing all of this while maintaining our very strong margin profile and cash generation. As a sign of our confidence in our durable growth, during the quarter we repurchased EUR 230 million of shares, and refinanced and up-sized our senior notes at very favorable rates. The additional cash gives us the liquidity to buy back additional shares."
Fiscal third quarter 2026 results demonstrate strong and resilient consumer demand for BIRKENSTOCK products
BIRKENSTOCK reports fiscal third quarter 2026 revenue of EUR 720 million, up 13% compared to the fiscal third quarter of 2025 on a reported basis and up 15% in constant currency. BIRKENSTOCK continues to see strong demand for its products across all segments, channels and categories.
DTC revenue growth outpaced B2B growth, accelerating to 14% on a reported basis and 16% in constant currency, driven by strength in both digital and in-store. The Company added thirteen new own stores during the quarter, bringing the total number of own retail stores to 124 as of June 30, 2026. B2B revenue grew 13% on a reported basis and 15% in constant currency, consistent with recent trends and supported by strong double-digit growth at key partner stores globally. The majority of this growth came from within existing doors driven by an expanded assortment of BIRKENSTOCK styles, high sales velocity and strong full-price realization.
Double-digit constant currency revenue growth in all segments
In the Americas segment, BIRKENSTOCK delivered revenue growth of 11% on a reported basis and 14% in constant currency in the fiscal third quarter of 2026. The strong double-digit growth was led by the B2B channel, where the Company continues to see strong demand, especially emerging youth focused retailers and sports specialty stores. The Company opened four additional own retail stores, bringing the total in the Americas to 21.
In EMEA, revenue growth was 15% on a reported and constant currency basis. This marked an acceleration from 11% growth in Q2, led by very strong DTC growth. The Company opened four new own retail stores, bringing the total in EMEA to 50. While the conflicts in the Middle East continue to create uncertainty in the Gulf Region, their impact on the quarter was more contained than initially anticipated.
In the APAC segment, BIRKENSTOCK achieved revenue growth of 18% on a reported basis and 23% on a constant currency basis. Excluding Australia, APAC growth was close to 30%. The October 23, 2025 acquisition of its Australian distributor resulted in a shift in quarterly revenue cadence impacting the third quarter. APAC again showed the highest ASP in the quarter compared to the other segments. The Company opened five new own retail stores, bringing the total in APAC to 53.
Investing in production capacity to meet consumer demand
BIRKENSTOCK invested approximately EUR 26 million in capital expenditures during the fiscal third quarter 2026, primarily to add production capacity as well as to expand retail operations globally.
Following the EUR 230 million accelerated share repurchase, the issuance of EUR 900 million senior notes and repayment of EUR 428.5 million of senior notes, BIRKENSTOCK ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of EUR 694 million and net leverage of 1.8x as of June 30, 2026 compared to 1.5x as of September 30, 2025 due to the cash outflow related to the accelerated share repurchase.

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,adjusted net profit margin, 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.

(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 costs associated with the secondary offering on behalf of the selling shareholder. The secondary offering was completed on May 30, 2025.
(5) 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.
(6) Represents the changes in the fair value of the financial instrument which was recognized to account for the accelerated share repurchase agreement in the consolidated statements of financial position. The impact of the fair value changes was recognized in “finance cost, net”.
(7) Represents the impact from the accelerated amortization of the transaction costs and the derecognition of the embedded derivative of the original senior notes which were redeemed and extinguished on June 26, 2026. The impact was recognized in “finance cost, net”.
(8) 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.
