Significant events
- “During the fiscal year 24-25 Hackett Limited registered sales of £124,664k (2024: £129,378k) which was a reduction of 3.64% (2024: increase 13.45%) versus last year. The overall reduction is driven by a reduction in our Intercompany sales due to the buy optimization but also in the Wholesale channel because of the different delivery calendar due to Easter and minor reduction in replenishment orders.”
- “E-commerce sales continue to grow with a 5% increase versus last year (2024: increase 16%) mainly due to the good performance on Marketplace with new MP openings (John Lewis) and strong growth in Zalando.”
- “During the year, retail channel expanded with the opening of one new full-price store in Broadgate, while three full-price stores (OBS, Leeds, and Manchester) were closed. Despite the reduction in the number of stores, sales decreased by a modest 1.8% compared to prior year, however, retail margin improved by 1.6 %, mainly driven by lower markdowns (34.8% vs. 39.8%) to protect the brand, improving the profitability of our stores and outlets.”
- “Over the next few years, the company wants to accelerate sales volume in order to mitigate this geopolitical uncertainty. To this end, the group to which Hackett belongs has received a capital injection from its new shareholder, G-III, which will enable it to invest in new stores in the Group, new product lines (underwear and footwear) with additional marketing investment (e.g. new celebrities) with the aim to stimulate consumption and traffic at points of sale in the medium term.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
