Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Given the Company's results, its profit before tax, its future developments and its risk management, the directors believe there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly these financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “As part of the Group's reorganization, Acqui Polo CV was dissolved in September 2022 and replaced by Ralph Lauren Europe Sarl, as the Company's new immediate parent company.”
- “In 2025, turnover increased by 68.71% from €90,458,709 in 2024 to €152,612,566 in 2025. This is mainly driven by the new profit split model applied following the conclusion of a bilateral advanced pricing agreement (BAPA) between the UK and Swiss tax authorities; as well as higher profit across Ralph Lauren LRDs in EMEA.”
- “On 22 September 2020, Ralph Lauren Corporation announced steps to accelerate its Next Great Chapter plan to deliver sustainable long-term growth and value creation, which include establishing a simplified global organizational structure and rolling out enhanced technology platforms to support the Company's global operations.”

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
