Marks & Spencer reported a rebound in profits to £355 million for the six-month period ending September 26, recovering from £3.4 million during the same timeframe the previous year. The retailer noted that clothing and homeware sales still lag behind figures from two years ago, as the company continues to deal with the aftermath of a major cyber security breach.
The digital disruption, which commenced over Easter 2025, forced the company to take its online shopping platform offline for more than six weeks. Executives stated that the lingering effects of the shutdown continued to impact summer clothing sales, though leadership maintained that the overall commercial footprint remains stable.
Further updates regarding the company's financial recovery and ongoing operational restoration are expected as the retail story unfolds.
