German online fashion retailer Zalando saw sales rise in its third quarter, its results show.
Sales jumped 26.5% year-on-year to £2.6bn for the three months ended 30 September, bolstered by the company’s acquisition of ecommerce company About You in July.
EBIT rose from £82m to £84.5m over the period, which the brand said underlined its focus on profitable growth.
The business’s active customer base climbed to 61.4m from 50.3m the same time last year, which it said reflected the integration of About You and growth in its core markets.

Looking ahead, Zalando confirmed its full-year guidance for 2025, forecasting EBIT between £485m and £529m as well as sales growth of 4% to 7%.
The results come after the company named Anna Dimitrova as its new CFO last month, effective 1 January 2026.
The exec is set to join the Zalando management board and take responsibility for the finance and corporate governance teams.
The brand also recently tapped L’Oréal exec Thomas Schwulera as its new vice president for beauty, as it sought to build on its double-digit growth in the category over the past year.
