City Chic Delivers Margin-Led Profit Recovery in 1H FY26
City Chic Collective Limited (ASX: CCX) reported a solid improvement in profitability for the 26 weeks ended 28 December 2025, driven by disciplined execution and margin expansion. Global sales revenue was broadly stable at AU$69.2 million, with strong performance in ANZ offsetting a deliberate reduction in Americas revenue. ANZ trading revenue increased 7.4% year-on-year, supported by a 10.1% expansion in gross margin, reflecting improved full-price sell-through and restrained promotional activity. Group gross margin rose to 62.2%, alongside a 6.1% increase in average selling prices, indicating successful product elevation. Underlying EBITDA improved materially to AU$6–7 million, representing growth of up to 100% on the prior period. Inventory levels declined 21% due to tighter purchasing discipline, while the US business remained profitable despite lower volumes. The balance sheet strengthened significantly, with net cash of AU$5.4 million and no drawn debt, positioning the group to achieve positive operating cash flow in FY26
