Accent Group Reshapes Portfolio as FY26 Profitability Comes Under Pressure
Source: Kapitales Research
Accent Group Limited (ASX: AX1) recorded modest sales growth in FY26 despite subdued discretionary spending and intense promotional activity in the footwear market. Total customer sales, including The Athlete’s Foot franchise network, increased 0.9% to AU$1.64 billion, while company-owned sales advanced 4.7% to AU$1.53 billion. Underlying NPAT came in at AU$51.0 million, although significant expenses, including a AU$48.6 million non-cash goodwill impairment, contributed to a statutory loss of AU$13.8 million.
During the year, Accent accelerated its portfolio transformation by growing Sports Direct, reacquiring 17 The Athlete’s Foot franchise stores and withdrawing from selected loss-making operations and distribution arrangements. The company also announced a fully franked final dividend of 1.25 cents per share. Its longer-term strategy remains centred on efficiency, brand development and network expansion, with 2030 ambitions including sales of at least AU$1.9 billion, an EBIT margin of 9%+ and approximately 950 stores.
