Today, Mister Spex published its Q2 2025 results. The second quarter underlines that our transformation program SpexFocus is delivering. The deliberate step back from discount-driven online sales is reflected in lower revenues. But at the same time, our gross margin improved by 504 basis points and EBIT increased by € 3 million year-on-year. This confirms that consistent pricing, a stronger share of prescription glasses and our premium private label SpexPro, as well as strict cost discipline, are having a measurable effect.   Equally important: in Q2 we achieved a positive operating cash flow and reduced our free cash outflow by € 1.2 million. With a stable cash position of € 65 million, we are in a solid financial position to continue executing on our strategy.   These results give us strong confidence that we are on the right path: focusing on sustainable profitability, strengthening our financial resilience, and building the foundation for long-term value creation.
