Responding to a question about whether Mango had been impacted by the Red Sea crisis, Ruiz said the conflict had caused problems for a few weeks, but said that things had now improved. He attributed the company's success here to its communications with suppliers and confirmed that there are currently no product delays.
What’s next for Mango?
Mango also shared its strategic plan for 2024-2026, with the tagline ‘elevate, expand, earn and empower’. It aims to achieve a turnover of €4bn by 2026.
Mango’s chief financial officer Margarita Salvans said the company plans to focus on profitability as part of the plan. She said it will use AI and other new technology to improve efficiency.
Salvans also said the company was also focused on improving its EBITDA in the next two years.
César de Vicente, global retail director at Mango, said the company wants to open 500 more stores, refurbish 150 stores by 2026.
Mango says it plans to elevate the image of its brand. Ruiz said: “We do not sell clothes, we design fashion – this is fundamental.”
Ruiz also teased a “surprise” collaboration with a designer with its Mango Man brand, due to launch in May 2024
When pressed on rumours that the strategic plan was leading up to Mango chasing a public listing, Ruiz said that it was “not on the table”. He said the company still had growth opportunities, reiterating that the company had been facing similar speculation for years.
The results come after Mango shared record sales and EBITDA in 2022, as it put significant investment into technology and its physical stores.
Last year, Mango announced an investment in Union Avatars, a digital identity platform for creating avatars in different styles, among them the hyper-realistic avatar.
