The transformative acquisition of Unieuro gives Fnac Darty a new dimension. Since the beginning of 2025, the Group reports its financial information based on the following two geographical areas: France and Rest of Europe (including Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland). To ensure better comparability:
- The historical data have been restated and are included in the appendix to this press release;
- The data of 2024 are presented on a reported basis and comparable basis i.e. including Unieuro and the deconsolidation of the ticketing business.
In Q3 2025, Group revenue amounted to €2,488,3 million, up +34.6% on a reported basis and +1.6% on a like for-like basis1 compared with Q3 2024. This solid performance is due to the excellent momentum in all regions (LFL1 growth of +1.7% in France and +1.3% in the Rest of Europe). The business was mainly driven by a good Back-to-School period supported by robust growth in hardware, the successful launch of a new console, and the continued momentum of service activities.
In 9M 2025, revenue was €6,968.1 million, up by +33.0% compared with 9M 2024 on a reported basis and +1.0% on a like-for-like basis1.
At the end of September 2025, gross margin rate increased by +50 bps compared with the end of September 2024 on a comparable basis2, and +55 bps excluding the dilutive effect of the franchise, primarily due to the growing contribution of the services businesses which more than offset the negative impact of the product mix over the period.
Changes by distribution channel
At the end of September 2025, online sales rose sharply (+7.6% compared with 9M 2024 comparable2) and represented 20% of the Group’s total sales. Omnichannel sales (Click & Collect) increased compared with 9M 2024 on a comparable basis2 and represented close to 50% of the Group’s online revenue. In-store sales showed a slight slowdown.
Change by product category
At the end of September 2025, services continued to grow and posted solid growth in most regions.
Diversification was also marked by continued growth in toys & games and stationery.
Domestic appliances grew compared with 9M 2024 on a comparable basis2. Small domestic appliances continued to grow, driven by innovations (beauty tech and floor care). Sales of large domestic appliances were down despite good momentum in air conditioning and refrigeration products.
Editorial products benefited from the excellent performance of the launch of the Switch 2 console in early June 2025. Books declined over the period due to a sluggish market.
Lastly, consumer electronics declined despite a strong recovery in hardware sales in the third quarter, marking the start of the new replacement cycle. Tablets and photo showed very good growth dynamics. Telephony sales were down, although the third quarter was marked by product launches that performed well. At the same time, refurbished phones confirmed their dynamism with strong growth. Television was impacted by a high 2024 comparison base linked to the European football championship.
Change by geography
France showed an increase in its 9M 2025 LFL3 revenue of +0.9% compared with 9M 2024 thanks to a dynamic third quarter (+1.7% LFL1). In France, the Group outperformed the market by more than 2 points, according to figures published by the Banque de France4. The scope effect mainly reflects the permanent closure of the Champs-Elysées store.
Rest of Europe showed an increase in its 9M 2025 LFL1 revenue of +1.0% compared with 9M 2024 (+1.3% LFL1 in Q3 2025):
- In Italy, LFL1 9M 2025 revenue was almost stable (-0.6%). Online sales and services performed well. Domestic appliances and television declined due to a high basis of comparison.
- Portugal posted LFL1 growth of +6.5% at the end of September, driven by a solid performance in the two Group’s brands.
- Spain LFL1 9M 2025 revenue grew by +6.2% with solid performances in all categories and in particular services. The scope effect reflects the temporary closure of stores for refurbishment and renovation.
- Belgium-Luxembourg recorded a slight LFL1 9M 2025 revenue growth of +0.9% thanks to a very good performance in the third quarter (+6.3% LFL1).
- In Switzerland, LFL1 9M 2025 revenue was up y +3.6%, driven by an excellent level of online sales and sustained service activity.
FINANCIAL RATING
The Group is rated by the rating agencies S&P Global, Fitch Ratings, and Scope Ratings. Fitch Ratings recently reaffirmed its BB+ rating with a “stable” outlook, just as S&P did last March, thereby demonstrating their confidence in the sector.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
The Group has implemented several initiatives in line with the deployment of the Beyond everyday strategic plan, announced on June 11.
At the beginning of October, Fnac Darty announced the launch of Darty brand in Portugal which marks the beginning of a new step in the distribution of consumer electronics and domestic appliances in the country.
The launch of Darty in Portugal is accompanied by an ambitious expansion plan to open more than 30 stores by 2030 as part of the Beyond everyday plan. This growth demonstrates the Group's strong commitment and the potential of the Portuguese market.
Strengthening commitment to repairability. At the beginning of October, the Group published the 8th edition of the after-sales services barometer, a reference tool for industry and consumers. It reveals, for the first time, the symptoms of breakdowns across 100 product categories, thanks to the analysis of more than one million breakdowns reported by customers and Darty Max subscribers.
The Group will soon launch a range of services and advices for manufacturers to enable them to access the sustainability data consolidated by the Group for nearly 20 years.
The Group also inaugurated a new logistics and after-sales service platform in Chilly Mazarin in France. With a surface area of 6,500 sq.m, this platform is the largest site in France for the delivery of bulky products. This opening is fully in line with the new Beyond everyday strategic plan by helping to improve customer experience, support the growth of Darty Max subscriptions and further integrate circularity into the core processes.
Ambition to set a new standard in digital and social customer experience. After the renovation of the Colombo store in Portugal last year, the Group inaugurated two new stores in France: Darty Rouen and Fnac Dijon, as well as the first Body & Tech spaces dedicated to innovation in Fnac La Défense and Fnac Forum des Halles. These openings allow new experiential concepts to be tested to prepare for the more than 200 renovations planned by 2030.
Consolidation of Fnac Darty's position as a central player in the cultural ecosystem. Building on its role as a cultural trendsetter and talent discoverer, Fnac is committed to supporting literature, publishing, and artistic creation, notably through the Fnac Novel Prize (Prix du roman Fnac), the Goncourt des lycéens Prize (Prix Goncourt des lycéens), and the Fnac – France Inter Comic Book Prize (Prix BD Fnac – France Inter).
An acceleration of the deployment of Weavenn, a company created with CEVA Logistics. Since its launch in October 2024, Weavenn, the Group's subsidiary dedicated to marketplace operations, has seen its business grow sharply in terms of both the number of contracted sellers and the number of orders shipped. In addition, since September, Click&Collect delivery in Fnac stores has been offered.
Scaling up in omnichannel Retail Media. Retailink, the Group’s integrated retail media agency, has become the first non-food network to obtain the eRetail Data Trust certification from the Centre d'Etude des Supports de Publicité (CESP). Designed to ensure transparency, reliability, and performance in the reporting of digital advertising campaigns, this certification establishes Retailink as a leading player in a rapidly growing and increasingly structured sector.
2025 OUTLOOK CONFIRMED
The comparable operating margin rate (after considering the integration of Unieuro and the deconsolidation of the Ticketing businesses) is expected to increase by 15 bps, to reach 2.0% on 31 December 2025 (compared to 1.8% in 2024).

DEFINITIONS OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
| Indicator name | Indicator definition |
| Revenue | The Group’s “real” revenue (or income from ordinary activities) corresponds to its reported revenue. The Group uses the notions of change in revenue detailed below. |
| Current operating income | Fnac Darty uses current operating income as the main management balance. This is defined as the difference between the total operating income and the “Other non-current operating income and expense.” Current operating income is an intermediate line item intended to facilitate the understanding of the entity’s operating performance that can be used as a way to estimate recurring performance. This indicator is presented in a manner that is consistent and stable over the long term in order to ensure the continuity and relevance of financial information. |
| Change in revenue at a constant exchange rate | Change in revenue at a constant exchange rate means that the impact of changes in exchange rates has been excluded. The exchange rate impact is eliminated by recalculating sales for period N-1 using the exchange rates used for period N. |
| Change in revenue on a like-for-like basis | Change in revenue on a like-for-like basis means that the impact of changes in the scope of consolidation is corrected so as to exclude the modifications (acquisition, disposal of subsidiary). Revenue of subsidiaries acquired or sold since January 1 of period N-1 are, therefore, excluded when calculating the change (in the event of a significant variation at Group level). |
| Change in revenue on a same-store basis | The change in revenue on a same-store basis means that the impact of directly owned store openings and closures is excluded. Revenue of stores opened or closed since January 1 of period N-1 is excluded from calculations of the change. |
1 Like-for-like basis – LFL: excludes the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates, changes in scope, and store openings and closures. Including Unieuro and the deconsolidation of the ticketing business.
2 Comparable: includes the integration of Unieuro and the deconsolidation of the ticketing business.
3 Like-for-like basis – LFL: excludes the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates, changes in scope, and store openings and closures. Including Unieuro and the deconsolidation of the ticketing business.
3 Market data published by Banque de France on October 21, 2025.
5 2024 comparable data: they include the integration of Unieuro and the deconsolidation of the ticketing business.
6 Like-for-like basis – LFL: excludes the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates, changes in scope, and store openings and closures. Including Unieuro and the deconsolidation of the ticketing business.
