Roche Bobois reported resilient financial performance for 2025, limiting revenue decline while maintaining profitability in a subdued high-end furniture market.
The group recorded revenue of €402.5 million for the year ending December 31, representing a slight decrease of 2.8% at current exchange rates and 1.3% at constant rates. Performance was impacted by unfavourable currency movements and tariffs in the United States, its largest market.

Despite these pressures, Roche Bobois maintained a stable gross margin of 61%, supported by disciplined cost management. EBITDA reached €71.2 million, resulting in a margin of 17.7%, broadly in line with the previous year. Current operating income stood at €21.8 million, while net income totalled €10.2 million, affected by exchange rate losses.
Regionally, North America remained the primary contributor to profitability, although results declined due to tariffs and currency effects. Europe excluding France posted modest growth, while the group's Cuir Center brand delivered a notable increase in profitability.
The company reported a solid financial position, with free cash flow rising to €49.4 million and gross cash reaching €46.8 million. An order backlog of €122.7 million provides some visibility heading into 2026.
Looking ahead, the group remains cautious, citing geopolitical uncertainty and continued currency headwinds. Early 2026 sales volumes were down 9.8% at constant exchange rates, although recent promotional activity in France and North America indicates signs of stabilisation. Expansion plans remain in place, with new openings and relocations in key European markets supporting future growth.
