Key figures

The 2024/25 financial year was very challenging for all market participants, including the Otto Group, due to the ongoing tense geopolitical situation and the continued consumer restraint in important sales markets. Nevertheless, the Otto Group was able to stabilize revenues at the previous year’s level and generate revenues of around EUR 15 billion. Continuing
prioritization of cost discipline produced a significant improvement in earnings, which was reflected in the reported EBITDA and, in particular, EBIT. Financial performance – measured based on the debt service ratio – also improved due to a significant reduction in net financial debt in addition to increased profitability. The 2024/25 financial year was also influenced by a wide range of portfolio measures that have already been implemented, are still ongoing and are also in the pipeline, as well as the optimization of business processes and locations.
