Mothercare plc Full Year Results 2026 Mothercare plc ( " Mothercare " , " the Company " or " the Group " ) , the highly trusted British heritage brand , that connects with the parents of newborn babies and children across multiple product categories throughout their early life as parents , today announces full year results for the 52 - week period to 28 March 2026. Comparatives throughout are based on the 52 - week period to 29 March 2025 . Key Highlights • Worldwide retail sales by franchise partners of £ 180.0 million ( 2025 : £ 280.8 million ) • Adjusted EBITDA of £ 1.3 million ( 2025 : £ 3.5 million ) • Net borrowings of £ 5.7 million ( 2025 : £ 3.7 million ) at the year end Current Trading & Outlook • In the first nineteen weeks of FY27 , the Group's Franchise Partners recorded total retail sales of £ 58.5 million ( FY26 : £ 68.8 million ) , largely reflecting the ongoing situation in the Middle East and the ending of our arrangement with Boots in the UK . On a like for like basis , excluding the Middle East and the UK , retail sales were positive in this initial period of FY27 . In these circumstances the recent financial performance has been resilient and we are not planning for any material changes in market conditions as we look to FY27 as a whole , acknowledging the situation in the Middle East and in the UK alongside our progress in other markets . Our refinanced and enlarged £ 10.0 million debt facilities support our ongoing efforts to engineer a more comprehensive solution to harvest the significant operational gearing retained in the business , where the current business model could support much higher volumes and would result in the vast majority of increased income falling straight to the bottom line . Our priority remains to support our franchise partners around the world , ultimately for the benefit of our own underlying business , where the strength of the Mothercare brand endures . Financial Highlights • Statutory ( loss ) for the 52 weeks to 28 March 2026 of £ 5.0 million ( 2025 : profit of £ 6.2 million ) • Net debt³ at £ 6.4 million ( 2025 : £ 4.5 million )
