DOUGLAS Group continues strong financial and business performance in third quarter 2023/24
EQS-News: Douglas AG / Key word(s): Interim Report/9 Month figures DOUGLAS Group continues strong financial and business performance in third quarter 2023/24 14.08.2024 / 07:30 CET/CEST The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
Q3 Financial Year 2023/24 (April – June 2024)
DOUGLAS Group continues strong financial and business performance in third quarter 2023/24
Sustained positive business development in Q3, confirming preliminary numbers:
Strong omnichannel growth: Group sales (net) up 7.3% (reported) to 977.1 million euros (like-for-like, “lfl”: +7.4%), with stores contributing 7.2% and E-Com 7.5%
Adjusted EBITDA up 5.6% to 162.9 million euros, adj. EBITDA margin: 16.7% (PY: 16.9%)
First nine months of the financial year above PY – profits growing ahead of sales:
Group sales (net) up 8.7% (lfl: +8.9%) to around 3.5 billion euros, stores +8.2% and E-Com +9.8%
Adj. EBITDA grew 11.5% to 657.1 million euros; adj. EBITDA margin: 18.8%
2023/24 Guidance raised on 17 July 2024: Expected sales growth now around 8.5%; adj. EBITDA margin expected significantly above prior year; DOUGLAS Group well on track to reach mid-term target of around 18.5% adj. EBITDA margin
Integration of parfumdreams logistics into Hamm OWAC successfully concluded, positive impact on future profitability and customer experience expected; temporary disruption in the course of the integration led to singular drop in segment sales (net) of ‑10.2%
Store network development is proceeding well – very successful grand reopening of flagship luxury store in Vienna, Austria
Clear strategic focus on core business premium beauty: sale of online pharmacy Disapo to Dutch MYA Health completed with transaction closed on 31 July, 2024
Further enhancement of premium brand positioning across channels and countries: premium redesign of website, online shop and app starting in September, with additional omnichannel facilitation and further standardization
Sander van der Laan, CEO DOUGLAS Group: “Our continued growth clearly confirms that our strategic focus on premium beauty strongly resonates with our customers.”
Düsseldorf, 14 August, 2024– The DOUGLAS Group, Europe’s number one omnichannel destination for premium beauty, continued its strong financial and business performance in the third quarter of the financial year 2023/24 (April to June 2024) as it successfully further implements its “Let it Bloom” strategy. Since going public in March 2024, the company significantly deleveraged its balance sheet and strategically sharpened its profile as a customer-centric premium beauty retailer.
In the third quarter of the financial year 2023/24, the DOUGLAS Group grew sales (net) by 7.3% to 977.1 million euros (Q3 22/23: 910.5 million euros), confirming preliminary numbers published 17 July 2024. Store sales (net) grew by 7.2% (lfl: +6.3%) and E-Com sales (net) 7.5% year-on-year (lfl: +9.8%) – underlining the Group’s uniquely positioned omnichannel business model.
Sander van der Laan, CEO of the DOUGLAS Group, said: “Our sustained strong performance and continued growth – even above our expectations – demonstrate the resilience of our business model. Fully focusing on premium beauty is the right course for us, and this strategy strongly resonates with our customers. We’ll continue to build on this success and our strong brand.”
High demand for on-site shopping and personal beauty advice
DOUGLAS stores across Europe recorded a strong uplift in both visitors (+16.9%) and customers (+8.1%), emphasizing the important on-site experience and personal advice in beauty retail. The online business – which accounted for around one third of total Group sales – developed particularly well in DACHNL and CEE.
The DOUGLAS Group has successfully completed the integration of parfumdreams logistics into the OWAC (OWAC = One Warehouse, All Channels) in Hamm, Germany. As a result of temporary operational challenges directly related to the integration, segment sales (net) of PD/NB decreased by -10.2%. For the future, the DOUGLAS Group anticipates a significant positive impact on cost efficiency, profitability and ultimately the customer experience due to the streamlined supply chain.
From April to June 2024, the DOUGLAS Group achieved an adj. EBITDA of 162.9 million euros (Q3 22/23: 154.3 million euros), an improvement of 5.6% over the previous year. This corresponds to an adj. EBITDA margin of 16.7% (Q3 22/23: 16.9%).
The financial result was impacted by negative one-off effects of around 85 million euros – around 31 million euros of which are cash effective – related to the redemption of secured notes and senior unsecured notes in April following the company’s IPO. Net income thus came in at -71.6 million euros (Q3 22/23: -26.1 million euros).
Full-year sales guidance raised due to strong performance in the first nine months
In the first nine months of the financial year (October 2023 to June 2024), Group sales (net) increased by 8.7% to around 3.5 billion euros (9M 22/23: around 3.2 billion euros). Growth was driven by both store sales (net) which rose by 8.2% (lfl: +7.4%) and E-Com which grew even stronger at 9.8% (lfl: +11.9%). In the same period, the Group generated an adj. EBITDA of 657.1 million euros, up 11.5% compared to the previous year and corresponding to an adj. EBITDA margin of 18.8% (9M 22/23: 18.4%). Free cash flow rose to 465.2 million euros.
Following the sustained positive business development and strong sales (net) numbers for the third quarter and first nine months, the DOUGLAS Group has raised its outlook for the financial year 2023/24 on 17 July 2024. The company now expects net sales to grow around 8.5% (previously: around 7%). The Group is well on track to deliver its mid-term earnings guidance of an expected adj. EBITDA margin of around 18.5%, after 17.7% in the financial year 2022/23.
Continuous development of store network – grand reopening in Vienna
The store business is a key pillar and growth driver for the DOUGLAS Group; just recently it celebrated the reopening of its “House of Beauty” luxury flagship store in Vienna with a grand ceremony and a visit by Hollywood star and DOUGLAS Group testimonial Diane Kruger. The luxury store offers a strong and curated selection of brands and products as well as individual beauty services on two floors with a sales area of 795m².
The company is on track to achieve its target of more than 200 store openings (net) and more than 400 store refurbishments by the end of 2026: In the first nine months of the financial year, it has opened 38 new stores and refurbished 69 existing ones (including relocations). 19 stores were closed in the same period, which included six franchise stores.
Truly Beauty, truly Premium: DOUGLAS Group refines its profile
In line with its growth strategy “Let it Bloom”, the DOUGLAS Group further sharpened its profile. With the sale of online pharmacy Disapo to Dutch MYA Health completed at the end of July, the Group now fully focusses on its resilient and fast-growing core premium beauty business where it strives to provide the best omnichannel shopping experience for its customers.
To further enhance the DOUGLAS Group’s premium positioning across all channels and along all customer touchpoints, the Group websites including the online shop and apps will receive a new look and feel starting in early September, aligned with the premium appeal and identity of the DOUGLAS brand. The redesign aims to create an emotionally engaging and inspiring beauty experience for customers – no matter on which device they prefer to shop. Alongside the new interface and a standardized infrastructure, the online channels will be more closely interlinked with the DOUGLAS and NOCIBÉ stores, offering customers a true omnichannel shopping experience.

DOUGLAS Group raises sales forecast for the financial year 2023/24 and sells online pharmacy Disapo
EQS-News: Douglas AG / Key word(s): Development of Sales DOUGLAS Group raises sales forecast for the financial year 2023/24 and sells online pharmacy Disapo 17.07.2024 / 10:03 CET/CEST The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
Trading Statement
DOUGLAS Group raises sales forecast for the financial year 2023/24 and sells online pharmacy Disapo
Sales growth for the financial year now expected to be around 8.5%
Sustained positive business performance:
Strong Q3 revenue based on preliminary figures: Group sales (net) increased by 7.3% in the period from April to June 2024, with growth driven by both store (+7.2%) and E-Com business (+7.5%)
In the first nine months (October 2023 – June 2024), Group sales (net) rose by 8.7% with stores contributing 8.2% growth and E-Com increasing by 9.8% (preliminary figures)
For the current fiscal year, the company expects its adj. EBITDA margin to be significantly above prior year; the DOUGLAS Group is well on track to reach its mid-term target of around 18.5% adj. EBITDA margin
DOUGLAS Group fully focuses on growing its core premium beauty business: selling agreement for online pharmacy Disapo signed on 16 July 2024; closing expected by the end of July 2024
Düsseldorf, 17 July, 2024 – The DOUGLAS Group, Europe’s number one omnichannel destination for premium beauty, has raised its sales (net) growth forecast for the current financial year from previously around 7% to around 8.5% following sustained positive business development and strong preliminary net sales numbers for the third quarter and first nine months. At the same time, the company is well on its way to deliver the mid-term earnings forecast of an expected adj. EBITDA margin of around 18.5%, after 17.7% in the financial year 22/23. In line with its strategy “Let it Bloom”, the DOUGLAS Group also pushes ahead with its strategic focus on the strongly growing core premium beauty business and is selling its online pharmacy Disapo to MYA Health B.V.
Strong third quarter and first nine months of the financial year
Based on preliminary numbers, the DOUGLAS Group continued its growth trajectory and increased sales (net) by 7.3% in the period from April to June 2024. The growth stems from a strong performance in both channels: while store sales (net) went up 7.2%, E-Com sales (net) grew 7.5%.
In the first nine months (October 2023 – June 2024), Group sales (net) increased by 8.7% to 3.5 billion euros (PY: 3.2 billion euros). This growth was broad-based with store sales (net) rising by 8.2% and E-Com growing even stronger at 9.8%. The performance underscores the Group’s successful omnichannel model.
Sander van der Laan, CEO of the DOUGLAS Group, said: “We have made excellent progress in recent years and months and increased our sales again in the third quarter. We are growing stronger than expected and continue to improve our profitability. This is exactly how we want to continue.”
The full set of financial figures for the third quarter of the financial year will be published on 14 August 2024.
Clear focus on premium beauty – sale of Disapo to MYA Health B.V. in final stages
The due diligence has been successfully completed and the selling agreement for Disapo was signed by MYA Health B.V. on 16 July 2024. The transaction is expected to be closed by the end of July 2024. As a result of the sale of its online pharmacy business, the DOUGLAS Group anticipates improvements in its profitability in the future.
The DOUGLAS Group had initially acquired Disapo in 2022 as part of its former strategy to enter the pharmacy market and converge beauty and health. With its new growth strategy “Let it Bloom – DOUGLAS 2026”, introduced in early 2023, the company has since made the fundamental decision to fully shift the focus on the resilient and strongly growing core premium beauty business across its stationary stores and online shops. As such, the DOUGLAS Group had been evaluating various strategic options for its online pharmacy business, eventually leading to the sale of Disapo to MYA Health.
Disapo currently employs around 90 people. The sale of the company has no effect on employees and operations at this point in time. As a result of the transaction, MYA Health will acquire all shares and activities of Disapo, including inventories, the logistics center near Aachen and all assets and intellectual property.
About Disapo and MYA Health
Online pharmacy Disapo B.V. is headquartered in the Dutch city of Heerlen. Operating from its own logistics center near Aachen, Disapo ships a wide range of over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription pharmaceuticals as well as cosmetics and supplements.
MYA Health, based in Amsterdam, operates a mobile app offering services around prescriptions and prescription medication, which was founded in 2021 by Christian-Alexander Vry and Dr. Daniel Lewinski. MYA Health is backed by a number of investors, including Fiege Logistics. The combination of MYA and Disapo creates an all-in-one digital offering for people who rely on prescription drugs.

Major milestones in implementation of “Let it Bloom”, i.e. Supply Chain and Technology
Düsseldorf, 29 May, 2024– The DOUGLAS Group, Europe’s number one omnichannel destination for premium beauty, continued to grow profitably in the second quarter of the financial year 2023/24 (January – March 2024) and accelerated its trajectory with double-digit offline and online growth.
Confirming preliminary numbers published 15 April 2024, the DOUGLAS Group grew overall sales (net) by 11.5% to around 958 million euros (Q2 2022/23: nearly 860 million euros). Both stores and E-Com developed well: Store sales (net) increased by 11.9% (lfl: +10.8%) and E-Com sales (net) by 10.7% (lfl: +10.4%). Keeping their growth momentum, Group sales have now increased for eleven consecutive quarters.
Sander van der Laan, CEO of the DOUGLAS Group, said: “We have confirmed our trend and market position with a strong second quarter and good performance in all our segments. Our omnichannel model continues to drive our growth while we kept costs under control and thus further improved our profitability. Beyond that, our recent refinancing greatly expanded our financial flexibility. All of this puts us in an excellent spot to meet our annual and mid-term guidance.”
In the second quarter of the financial year 2023/24, the DOUGLAS Group continued to improve its profitability and generated an adj. EBITDA of 145.9 million euros (Q2 2022/23: 125.5 million euros), a rise of 16.2% compared to the previous year. This corresponds to an adj. EBITDA margin of 15.2%, an increase of 0.6 percentage points year-on-year. All segments contributed to overall sales (net) and adj. EBITDA growth. Net income from January to March came in at ‑41.3 million euros (Q2 2022/23: -42.2 million euros) and was affected by a number of non-recurring effects, including expenses in connection with the DOUGLAS Group’s IPO at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in March 2024 and a positive one-off effect in the financial result due to the valuation of bonds and related assets.
Strong momentum in first six months of the financial year
From October 2023 to March 2024, the DOUGLAS Group achieved net sales of around 2.5 billion euros (+9.3%) and generated an adj. EBITDA of 494.2 million euros, a considerable increase of 13.6% compared to the same period in the financial year 2022/2023. On a half-year basis, store sales (net) increased by 8.6% (lfl: +7.7%) and E-Com sales (net) by 10.7% (lfl: +10.5%), demonstrating the resilience of the omnichannel model and sustained customer demand both offline and online. Net income in the first six months was at 83.9 million euros (H1 2022/23: 71.0 million euros), up 18.1% year-on-year. In addition to the IPO costs, mainly incurred in the second quarter, the half-year was affected by non-recurring effects in the financial result. Free cash flow amounted to 363.4 million euros compared to 237.8 million euros in the previous year.
In April 2024, following its listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the DOUGLAS Group completed a comprehensive refinancing and reduced its net debt by around 1.3 billion euros through the primary proceeds from the IPO, an equity injection by CVC and the Kreke family as well as available liquidity. The new financing comes with improved conditions leading to an expected reduction of yearly interest expenses of up to 100 million euros. The leverage ratio has decreased significantly within a year from 5.0x per 31.03.2023 to 2.7x as of 31.03.2024. The company remains committed to further deleveraging and accordingly expects a positive impact on the future net income.
“Let it Bloom – DOUGLAS 2026” implementation well on track
The strong development in recent quarters has been visibly supported by the ongoing implementation of "Let it Bloom". The DOUGLAS Group has recently taken further strategic decisions and passed several key milestones which it expects to drive the positive momentum:
Store Network Expansion: The DOUGLAS Group continues to develop its store network across Europe and has opened 10 stores (net) and refurbished 37 stores in the first six months of the financial year. The company expects to open more than 40 additional stores until the end of the current financial year and is fully on track to achieve its goal of 200+ store openings (net) by the end of the financial year 2025/26. Beyond openings, the DOUGLAS Group is set to upgrade more than 400 stores until the end of the financial year 2025/26.
Omnichannel Supply Chain: The DOUGLAS Group continues to roll out its future-oriented OWAC supply chain model (OWAC = One Warehouse, All Channels) across Europe. The OWAC model brings great benefits, including an improved availability of products in stores and E-Com as well as shorter B2C delivery times. In early 2024, a new OWAC logistics center commenced operations in Toledo near Madrid, and further OWACs are already operating in Germany (Hamm), Italy (Bologna) and France (Lille). Two new OWACs are currently in planning for the growing CEE market. To accommodate their strong development, the DOUGLAS Group also achieved milestones in the supply chain of its online pure players Parfumdreams and Niche Beauty: PD logistics are currently being integrated into the DACH OWAC in Hamm, and Niche Beauty recently moved to a new warehouse near Dortmund.
Unified Tech Stack: In order to improve the efficiency and agility of its organization, the DOUGLAS Group is implementing a unified tech stack and IT architecture across all its countries as part of a multi-phase project. Operations, clusters and individual countries will therefore be closely aligned and driven by centrally defined, Group-wide standards and processes. As part of the project, SAP SuccessFactors will be rolled out as a Group-wide central HR platform, with modules covering the entire employee journey.
DOUGLAS Group confirms outlook for financial year 2023/24
The DOUGLAS Group forecasts sales (net) to increase by around 7% in the financial year 2023/24 and also mid-term, driven by both channels with an anticipated increase of store sales (net) in the mid-single-digit range and an anticipated increase of E-Com sales (net) in the high-single-digit range. EBITDA is developing positively, in line with the target to develop to an adj. EBITDA margin of around 18.5%. With the results achieved in the first half of the financial year 2023/24, the DOUGLAS Group is well positioned to deliver on this guidance and achieve both this year’s targets as well as the mid-term expectations.

Strong financial foundation: DOUGLAS Group reduces net debt by 1 billion euros and increases financial flexibility
EQS-News: Douglas AG / Key word(s): Financing Strong financial foundation: DOUGLAS Group reduces net debt by 1 billion euros and increases financial flexibility 15.04.2024 / 16:49 CET/CEST The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE OR FORM PART OF ANY OFFER OR INVITATION TO SELL OR ISSUE, OR ANY SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO PURCHASE OR SUBSCRIBE FOR, ANY SECURITIES OF DOUGLAS AG, KIRK BEAUTY SUN GMBH OR DOUGLAS SERVICE GMBH.
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, SOUTH AFRICA, JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR ANY OTHER MEASURES.
Comprehensive Refinancing
Strong financial foundation: DOUGLAS Group reduces net debt by 1 billion euros and increases financial flexibility
New financing at greatly improved conditions; reduction in interest expenses expected to be up to 100 million euros on annualized base
Term loan facility in an amount of 800 million euros plus bridge facility of 450 million euros; additional revolving credit facility (RCF) of 350 million euros
Full refinancing of financial indebtedness achieved, among others, through proceeds from IPO and equity injection; leverage ratio[1] falls from 4.0x to approx. 2.7x (calculated on adjusted EBITDA (LTM) and liquidity as of 31.12.2023)
Sales growth trend accelerates: Group sales (net) increased by 11.5% in the second quarter of the financial year 2023/24 (January to March 2024) based on preliminary figures
Growth backed by strong development across all areas: Double-digit sales growth (net) in both channels (stores +12.0%, E-Commerce +10.7%) and positive development in all segments; all segments continued to grow vs. PY in Q2 and in first half of the financial year
Düsseldorf, 15 April 2024 – The DOUGLAS Group, Europe’s number one omnichannel premium beauty destination, has paved the way for the future with a comprehensive refinancing. Following its listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange at the end of March, the company had already used the proceeds and a capital injection to partially prepay an existing facilities agreement in the amount of 675 million euros (nominal). In a second step, with today’s drawing of 1.3 billion euros under the new financing of in total 1.6 billion euros, the Group now redeemed the remaining existing financial indebtedness. As a result of the refinancing, the leverage ratio decreased significantly from previously 4.0x to approx. 2.7x.
The new financing reduces the interest rate from around 8% to a range of 5.5% to 6.5%. As a result, annual interest payments are expected to be reduced by up to 100 million euros.
“With this important step, we have established a strong financial foundation for the coming years,” said Mark Langer, CFO of the DOUGLAS Group. “At the same time, we are in a position to make investments from our cashflow into our successful business model and future growth. It is our firm goal to further reduce our debt and to start paying dividends in the medium term. This is what we are consistently working towards.”
New financing of 1.6 billion euros
The new financing includes a term loan facility of 800 million euros (interest rate: EURIBOR + 2.75% initial margin) with a term of five years and a bridge facility of 450 million euros (interest rate: EURIBOR + 2.25% initial margin) with a term of twelve months, which can be extended twice by six months each without further approval of the banks. The DOUGLAS Group has further secured a revolving credit facility (RCF) of 350 million euros, of which 50 million euros had been drawn today. With today’s refinancing, the company fully redeemed senior secured notes in a nominal amount of 1.305 billion euros and senior unsecured notes in a nominal amount of approx. 567 million euros and continues its path towards debt reduction: After 4.7x per 30.09.2023 and 4.0x per 31.12.2023, the leverage ratio is now at approx. 2.7x (calculated on adjusted EBITDA (LTM) and liquidity as of 31.12.2023).
The new financing was signed on 8 March 2024 and also includes a so-called “ESG Rendezvous-Clause” which allows to directly link the interest margin to specific sustainability KPIs. These will be defined between the syndicate banks and the DOUGLAS Group. The bank consortium consists of 15 banks, with UniCredit Bank GmbH acting as documentation agent.
Sales growth trend accelerated in the second quarter
The DOUGLAS Group accelerated its growth trajectory in the recently completed second quarter of the financial year 2023/24. Group sales (net) increased by 11.5% based on preliminary and unaudited figures. Total growth was backed by strong development in all areas and consistent performance of the omnichannel business model. While store sales improved by 12.0%, E‑Commerce sales also rose double-digit by 10.7%. All segments contributed positively to the overall sales increase and continued to grow vs. prior year in the first half of the financial year.
Sander van der Laan, CEO of the DOUGLAS Group, said: “After a very good start to the financial year during the Christmas period, we have followed up with another excellent quarter: The results for the first three months of the 2024 calendar year are an impressive demonstration of the attractiveness of our offering, our exceptional customer loyalty and the resilience of our omnichannel model. This also marks eleven consecutive quarters of total sales growth – a clear sign that we’re on the right track.”
The full financial figures for the second quarter and first half of the financial year will be published on 29 May 2024.
