Björn Borg Q2 2025 margins rise as sales fall
Swedish apparel maker reports higher profitability despite weaker revenue, driven by cost efficiencies and pricing power.
Swedish fashion company Björn Borg AB reported a rise in second-quarter margins for 2025, even as total sales declined, according to slides published on Tuesday.
The company’s gross margin expanded to 58.7% from 54.2% in the same period a year earlier, reflecting improved operational efficiency and pricing strategies. Net sales, however, fell 6.3% year-on-year to SEK 345 million ($32.5 million), as weaker demand in key markets offset gains in other segments.
Björn Borg attributed the margin improvement to reduced production costs and a shift toward higher-margin product categories. The company noted that while consumer spending remained cautious, its premium positioning allowed it to maintain pricing power in select regions.
The slides did not provide full financial statements or forward guidance. Björn Borg, known for its underwear and activewear, has been expanding its product range and distribution channels in recent quarters.
