Fashion powerhouse Inditex has reported growth in sales and profits after what it it described as a “solid performance” throughout spring.
The group, which owns Zara, Pull & Bear and Bershka, saw overall sales grow 1.6% to €18.4bn (£15.9bn) in the period between February 1 and July 31.
Inditex said it saw “satisfactory development” online and in-store. Sales on a constant currency basis grew 5.1%.
Its spring/summer collections have resonated with customers, contributing to gross profit increasing 1.5% to €10.7bn (£9.26bn). EBITDA increased 1.5% to €5.1bn (£4.4bn).
In recent trading, Inditex said its autumn/winter collections have been “well received” by customers as store and online sales between August 1 and September 8 increased 9% compared to the same time in 2024.
Zara saw the most net sales growth in the first half of 2025, rising from €13.03bn (£11.27bn) to €13.15bn (£11.38bn)
The group said its priority moving forward is the “continued improvement of our fashion proposition, the level of customer care, our focus on sustainability, and cultivating our world-class teams” to underpin long-term growth.
It expects the optimisation of stores to drive further gains in store productivity, but said it forecasts a -4% currency impact on sales in 2025 at current exchange rates.
Inditex chief executive Óscar García Maceiras said: “We have again achieved a solid performance in the first half of 2025, with satisfactory sales in a complex market environment and maintaining strong levels of profitability.
“The efficient execution accomplished by our teams demonstrates the strength of Inditex’s business model.”
