Fressnapf’s revenue hits €870M in Q1 2025
With growing international sales and new store openings, the German pet retailer eyes further expansion this year.
Fressnapf |Maxi Zoo posted group revenue of €870 million ($1B) from January to March 2025, a quarter in which the company says it reinforced the strength of its business model amid ongoing market headwinds. The adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) hit €72 million ($84.8M).
“Despite continued pressure from declining industry volumes, cautious consumer sentiment and intensified competition, both revenue and EBITDA remained stable year over year,” says a company spokesperson.
Despite the “difficult” market conditions, Fressnapf admits improved cost management and more effective marketing helped protect its margins.
The Krefeld-headquartered company in western Germany achieved total group sales revenue of €3.6 billion ($4.1B) and adjusted EBITDA of €342 million ($386M) in 2024.
Sales overview
Over the last 12 months, the retailer registered a 7.7% increase in statutory sales – the total sales recorded in its official financial reports – and a 3.3% rise in online revenue.
This performance was supported by improved product availability, greater shopping convenience and the continued rollout of Click & Collect (C&C) services.
Fressnapf also introduced the Pick-from-Store (PfS) model in select markets, enabling local stores to fulfill online orders directly. This follows the earlier launch of Ship-to-Store services in 2024.
More locations
During the first quarter (Q1) of 2025, Fressnapf opened 41 new stores globally, primarily in France, Italy and Poland.
The retailer operates over 2,700 stores across 15 markets, which together account for 65% of total revenue. Last year, international markets constituted 64% of the German retailer’s total group revenue.
Looking ahead, Fressnapf plans to open a triple-digit number of new stores and continue integrating omnichannel services. The company also aims to invest in logistics infrastructure and optimize its supply chain to support continued growth through the rest of the year.
“Through consistent strategy execution, scalable investments and a clear focus on customer proximity and operational excellence, Fressnapf |Maxi Zoo is well-positioned to unlock further growth potential and consolidate its position as Europe’s leading pet retailer,” the representative says.
The company has recently announced the appointment of Matt Simister as its new CEO, starting September 2025.
