Sales growth across channels

The company's physical stores and e-commerce platforms alike experienced a significant surge in demand, with online sales growing 4.8% to €10.656 billion. Inditex's e-commerce prowess has been a key driver of its success, allowing it to tap into the rapidly evolving digital retail landscape.

Notably, the firm's gross profit margin reached €23.222 billion, a 3.9% year-on-year increase and representing 58.3% of total sales. This margin expansion underscores Inditex's ability to maintain profitability amidst a highly competitive and fragmented industry.

Looking ahead, the company plans to invest around €2.3 billion in 2026, primarily in optimizing its retail space, integrating technology, and enhancing its online platforms. This strategic investment will be crucial in sustaining Inditex's growth trajectory.

In a statement, CEO Óscar García Maceiras emphasized the importance of connecting with customers, understanding their needs, and delivering a seamless shopping experience. He noted that this focus on customer-centricity is the foundation for Inditex's long-term growth prospects.

With a presence in 214 markets, Inditex operates in a highly fragmented industry, presenting significant opportunities for expansion. The company's strategic initiatives, including a two-year, €1.8 billion investment program, aim to capitalize on this growth potential.

For the 2025 financial year, Inditex's board of directors will propose a dividend of €1.75 per share to its shareholders, reflecting the company's strong financial performance.
