"During our 2024/25 financial year, we set solid foundations by achieving a record-high gross margin, positive operating profit and improving our branded channel performance. The focus on our retail experiences, product portfolio, marketing and win cities have made a positive impact and will continue to be a priority, as we further strengthen our leadership position in the global luxury audio market. While we remain mindful of market uncertainties, we are excited and confident as we look ahead to celebrating Bang & Olufsen’s 100^th anniversary later this year. To mark our centenary milestone, we will be honouring our heritage and shaping the path ahead, as we step into B&O’s second century at the forefront of luxury audio."
