US EditionDr Martens: Footwear Group Sees Profits Slide but on Track for Return to Growth
- On June 5, 2025, Dr Martens shares surged over 21% after the company announced plans to return to profit this year amid cost-cutting efforts.
- The profit rebound follows a challenging year ending March 30, with pre-tax profits dropping from £93 million to £8.8 million due to falling sales and a difficult UK market.
- New CEO Ije Nwokorie, appointed January 6, 2025, said the group stabilized by refocusing marketing, growing US direct-to-consumer sales, and reducing discounting.
- Dr Martens expects underlying profit to rise significantly in the financial year ahead, aiming to cut discounting across key US and European markets while monitoring tariff impacts closely.
- The outlook remains cautious amid macroeconomic uncertainty, but management prioritizes operational discipline and cost control to support sustainable, profitable growth globally.
