Revenue rose to €402 million ($470 million) in the three months to Dec. 30, roughly in line with analyst expectations and 18% higher in constant currency terms than a year earlier, according to preliminary results for the company’s fiscal first quarter. Birkenstock had disappointed investors last month when it forecast a slower pace of sales growth of as much as 15% in fiscal 2026.
