Golden Goose reports 16 percent revenue growth in first nine months of 2026

Italian luxury brand Golden Goose reported a 16 percent increase in net revenues at constant exchange rates for the first nine months of 2026, reaching 583.3 million euros (649.5 million dollars). Performance was driven by direct-to-consumer (DTC) expansion, where revenue rose 21 percent year-over-year (YoY) to 479.9 million euros. The DTC channel accounted for 82 percent of total group revenues, up from 79 percent in the prior-year period.

Third-quarter revenue reached 203 million euros, advancing 17 percent compared with the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month period increased 12 percent YoY to 194.3 million euros, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of 33.3 percent. During the third quarter, adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 35.2 percent, supported by a gross margin of 77.7 percent.

Golden Goose chief executive officer Silvio Campara stated: “Our performance in the first nine months of 2026 reflects the continued strength of Golden Goose’s business model and brand, with revenues growing 16% and sustained momentum through the third quarter, growing to 17% YoY. Against a complex market backdrop, we’ve delivered double-digit growth across all regions, driven by our DTC channel which now accounts for 82% of revenues.”

Regional expansion and experiential retail concepts

All major regions recorded double-digit revenue growth in the first nine months. The Americas posted an 18 percent increase, underpinned by 21 percent DTC growth; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) advanced 17 percent, led by a 23 percent rise in DTC; and Asia-Pacific (APAC) rose 12 percent, with DTC up 14 percent. Wholesale revenue returned to positive territory in the third quarter, expanding 8% as the label maintained a selective partner strategy.

Golden Goose expanded its global retail network to 236 locations as of September 30, 2026, up from 232 at the end of 2025. Openings during the nine-month period included locations in Kuala Lumpur, Athens and Istanbul. The brand also broadened experiential activations, opening the ‘HAUS Istanbul’ space during Contemporary Istanbul and introducing ‘Golden Kids’ workshops in Dubai and Istanbul.

In China, the brand introduced the ‘Arena’ concept at Xi’an SKP across more than 1,650 square metres, incorporating retail, outdoor padel courts, fitness facilities and hospitality. Golden Goose also named Swiss tennis player Belinda Bencic as global brand ambassador for the 2026 to 2027 cycle.
