British womenswear brand Sosandar has posted a pre-tax loss of US $ 1.4 million for the six months ending 30th September 2025, citing the lasting impact of cyber disruptions at Marks & Spencer, one of its largest third-party retail partners.
The loss compares with US $ 880,000 for the same period in the previous year, which the company said was “in line with expectations.”
Despite the loss, Sosandar recorded a 15% increase in net revenue to US $ 23.5 million, up from US $ 20.4 million in H1 FY ’25. Revenue from its own website returned to growth, rising 28% year-on-year, while gross margins remained steady at 62.2%. The company attributed this performance to a continued focus on margin enhancement.
In a joint statement, Sosandar’s co-CEOs, Ali Hall and Julie Lavington, said the company was “leveraging multiple opportunities to expand the brand’s presence across the UK and international markets” and aimed to become “one of the leading global womenswear brands.”
The statement added that the board remained confident in meeting market expectations for the current financial year, noting that “foundations are now in place for sustainable, profitable and cash-generative growth over the medium to long term.”
Sosandar’s revised market guidance for the year ending 31st March 2026 anticipates revenue of US $ 54.7 million and pre-tax profit of US $ 500,000. The company continues to focus on expanding digital sales channels while managing the impact of third-party disruptions on overall performance.
