Summarized from source with an LLMView SourceSector: Consumer Non-CyclicalsLatest Results (07.11.2025):
METRO AG’s latest financial results for Q1 of the 2023/24 fiscal period show a mixed picture. While the company achieved modest sales revenue growth—from €30,551 million in 2022/23 to €31,029 million in 2023/24—and a slight increase in gross profit, overall operating performance deteriorated. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) fell notably from €598 million to €218 million, and challenging net financial results led to an overall loss for the period, with profit attributable to shareholders declining from a positive €439 million to a loss of €120 million. Despite this, the loss per share improved, moving from –€1.21 in 2022/23 to –€0.33 in 2023/24.

Sales revenues increased modestly in the latest quarter of the 2023/24 cycle, while the gross profit on sales edged up from €4,883 million to €5,052 million compared to 2022/23.
Operating Income & EBIT
The company’s operating performance weakened with EBIT dropping sharply from €598 million in 2022/23 to €218 million in 2023/24, reflecting rising operating and administrative costs.
