Highlights

  • FY25 revenue of PMV reached AUD 831.35 million, with net profit up 31.13% to AUD 338.22 million.
  • Black Friday trading delivered record sales for Peter Alexander, supporting FY26 preparedness.
  • H1FY26 underlying EBIT is expected to touch AUD 120 million, with the December-January trading window critical to first-half performance.

Premier Investments Limited (ASX:PMV), an Australia-based operator of specialty retail fashion chains across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and Europe, delivered double digit growth in net profit attributable to shareholders in the 12 months ending 28 July 2025 (FY25).

FY25 Financial Performance

The company reported a 1.21% YoY increase in revenue to AUD 831.35 million, largely supported by record sales at its Peter Alexander brand. Other income increased to AUD 21.50 million in FY25 from AUD 1.38 million in FY24. Meanwhile, net profit attributable to members increased 31.13% to AUD 338.22 million, compared with AUD 257.92 million in the previous year.

Despite an increase in profitability, the company’s operating margin decreased to 20.3% in FY25 from 29.8% in FY24, and return on equity fell to 10.3%, below the industry median of 19.6%. Conversely, EBITDA margin reached 35.5% in FY25, well above the industry median of 14.4%, and the current ratio improved to 2.97x from 2.10x in the prior year.

Recent Developments and AGM Update

During its AGM on 5 December 2025, Premier Investments’ CEO noted that the company entered FY26 with a clean inventory position. Consumer caution and cost-of-living pressures remain factors influencing discretionary spending. However, Black Friday trading produced positive results, with Peter Alexander achieving record sales across the promotional period, reinforcing the brand’s performance in key sales windows.

Outlook for H1FY26

For the 26 weeks ending 24 January 2026, the company expects underlying EBIT (pre-AASB 16) of approximately AUD 120 million. The company’s management highlighted the importance of the December-January trading window, identifying it as a critical driver of first-half performance.

The company indicated that the group is well-positioned to capitalise on this period.

In October 2025, all nine spending categories recorded increases, with Clothing and footwear (+3.5%), Furnishings and household equipment (+3.0%), and Hotels, cafés, and restaurants (+2.2%) leading gains.
