1.b. Last Insights on PNDORA

Pandora A/S faced negative drivers in recent months, primarily due to a cut in its full-year comparable sales growth forecast, citing weaker demand in Europe. The company's latest earnings revealed a slip in net income for the quarter. Organic growth was 6% in Q3 2025, driven by network expansion and strategic innovations, but LFL growth in Europe was -1%. Tariffs and commodity prices also posed headwinds. Additionally, the company's CEO, Alexander Lacik, announced his retirement in 2026, with Berta de Pablos-Barbier taking over as CEO.

Pandora's product pipeline remains robust, with upcoming launches of Mini Charms and Medallions, which are expected to complement its full jewelry brand mission. The new e-commerce platform, now fully rolled out globally, has shown encouraging results, enhancing both brand engagement and commercial metrics.
