Hagavik, 12 November 2026: Outlet Group Holding ASA ("Outlet Group", OSE: OUTLT) today reported revenue of NOK 740.1 million in the third quarter of 2026, an increase of 16.4% compared with the corresponding period last year.

The Group's gross margin improved to 52.7% (51.1%) in the third quarter, primarily driven by higher own-brand margins and an increased own-brand share.

"The third quarter was characterised by continued growth and further expansion of our store network. Growth was strong across all core product categories in Sport Outlet, and a higher own-brand share supported the improvement in gross margin. We are also pleased with the progress of Kids Outlet, which delivered positive segment EBIT in the quarter," says Tor-André Skeie, CEO of Outlet Group.
