Good morning everyone and welcome to Global Fashion Group's Q2 2025 results presentation. I am Christoph Markowitz, CEO of GFG, and I'm joined today by our CFO, Helen Hickman.
I will start the group highlights for Q2 and then cover our regional results and key developments. Helen will then take us through the group results and our outlook. After that, we will open up the call for Q&A.
We have had a successful quarter in the first half of the year, maintaining our top line and improving our profitability, positioning GFG to deliver sustainable future growth.
We continue to stabilize NMB driven by robust double-digit growth within Latin America and strong momentum in ANZ offset by continued topline declines in SAA.
Our top line has been supported by improving customer trends across the group with continued active customer growth in ANZ in the 2nd quarter.
