Golden Goose posts double-digit growth in the first half
The Italy-based group recorded a 15% year-on-year increase in revenue during the first half of 2026, driven by double-digit growth across all regions and strong DTC performance
“We are pleased to deliver another set of strong results for Golden Goose, with revenues growing 15% in the first half and accelerating further in the second quarter, demonstrating sustained momentum. Driven by double-digit growth across every region, this performance reflects yet again the global appeal of our brand and the strength of our community-led model”, said Silvio Campara, Chief Executive Officer of Golden Goose Group. 

First-Half Results

In the first half of the 2026 financial year, the company’s net revenue amounted to 380.4 million euros, an increase of 15% compared to the same period of last year. Revenue grew by 19% in the second quarter, up from 10% in the first.

DTC revenue increased by 22% year-on-year in the first half, thanks to a double-digit like-for-like performance and the effect of additional space. Digital performed strongly, delivering mid-teen growth. The number of its Global Directly Operated Stores (DOS) stood at 230 at the end of June. 

Meanwhile, wholesale revenue declined by 6% year-on-year, though it returned to growth in the second quarter with an increase of 5%. The group continued to implement its selective wholesale strategy.

Golden Goose also highlighted its double-digit growth across region. Compared to the first half of 2025, the company grew by 18% in the Americas, supported by DTC growth of 22%; by 17% in the Asia-Pacific region, supported by DTC growth of 19%; and by 14% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), despite the impact of the conflict in the Middle East.

In the first half of 2026, the group’s adjusted EBITDA rose by 9% year-on-year to 122.9 million euros, with the corresponding margin reaching 32.3%. Meanwhile, the gross margin rose by 12% year-on-year to reach 75.8%.
