Debenhams Group returns to statutory profit as H1 adjusted EBITDA rises 14.6%

Debenhams Group's interim results today showed the first positive statutory profit before tax since August 2021: £28.3m for the six months to 31 August 2026, against a £17.9m loss a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA rose 14.6% to £24.0m, gross margin widened 220 basis points to 54.1% as marketplace sales reached 38.9% of GMV (gross merchandise value, the total value of goods sold), and GMV growth accelerated from 0.5% in the first quarter to 2.9% in the second. The board held its full-year floor of at least £59m of adjusted EBITDA and expects net debt to be negligible at the February 2027 year-end after the Sheffield and Nasty Gal disposals, which closed in September.
