The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Group's directors have assessed the ability of the group and company to continue as a going concern for the 12 month period to February 2027 by preparing a detailed cash flow forecast based on assumptions about future performance and the continued availability of sufficient financing facilities. A longer term assessment to January 2029 has also been carried out by the directors.”

Significant events

• “Turnover decreased by 2.6% with the current year representing 52 week trading compared to 53 weeks in the prior year. The latter part of 2025 was particularly difficult for trade as we found ourselves operating in an increasingly promotional environment which impacted trading margin. Footfall in stores fell by 3.8% however e-commerce performance continued to be strong, growing 7% like for like.”
• “Challenging trading has continued throughout FY26, and while profit margins have been impacted by what was a very competitive trading environment. Schuh continued to invest in future growth as well as building on the strong performance of our e-commerce business with significant platform enhancements designed to further increase online sales.”
• “Following a comprehensive review, we made the strategic decision to evolve our IT operating model to further strengthen our capabilities, expertise, scale and efficiency. By aligning our resources to a next-generation model, we are enhancing our ability to serve customers, increasing speed and flexibility across the organization, and supporting the Company's continued growth.”
• “In July 2025, in order to simplify the group structure and minimise finance costs, the secured loan note in favour on Genesco Jersey Limited was restructured in favour of Genesco (UK) Limited. The balance of £30.6 million is repayable in April 2030.”
• “On 20th February 2026 the Company completed the refinancing of its Revolving Credit Facility. The new facility has a limit of £20m and a term of 18 months.”
