Boohoo Group PLC, trading as Debenhams Group PLC, reported a pre-tax profit of £28 million for the six months ending 31 August, reversing a £18 million loss from the previous year. This marks the first positive pre-tax result since August 2021, driven by stronger sales, wider margins, and growth in its Debenhams brand and marketplace sales. Revenue fell 3% to £410 million due to a shift towards a commission-based marketplace model, but gross margin improved to 54%. The group expects full-year adjusted earnings of at least £59 million and aims for over £100 million pre-tax profit in the medium term.
