Maisons du Monde: First Half 2026 Review

Maisons du Monde reported mixed results for the first half of 2026, in a challenging economic environment. Net sales reached €412.8 million, a decrease of 7.1% compared to 2025. This decline reflects a market contraction, particularly in France and online. Nevertheless, the gross margin remained at 61.9%, demonstrating prudent management of promotions. Savings of €15 million were achieved through logistics and transportation optimization.

Although current EBIT declined to -€36.8 million, free cash flow improved, moving from -€64.9 million to -€49.8 million. Reduced inventory, lower investments, and rigorous controls were key levers for mitigating the situation. With the support of new shareholders and a refinanced balance sheet, Maisons du Monde aims to overcome these challenges.
