• Adjusted gross profit margin of 57.0-57.5% (unchanged)
• Tax rate of 30-31% (26-28% prior), primarily due to the non-deductible, non-cash expenses associated with refinancing and accelerated share repurchase (ASR)

• Capital expenditures in range of EUR 110-130 million (unchanged)

Ltd., which closed on October 23, 2025

• Adjusted gross profit margin of 59.2%, down 130 basis points from 60.5% in the prior year period primarily due to unfavorable currency translation (60 basis points), incremental U.S. tariffs (70 basis points) and product mix, partly offset by improved capacity absorption

• Net profit of EUR 110 million, down 15% year-over-year; EPS of EUR 0.60 down 13% from EUR 0.69 in the fiscal third quarter of 2025 mainly due to non-recurring, non-cash expenses associated with the accelerated share repurchase and the refinancing of the senior notes totalling EUR 22 million

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.
