Arçelik Narrows Losses in Q3 2025, Eyes Global Gains
In the third quarter of 2025, Arçelik—majority owner of Beko Europe—reported a net loss of 2 billion Turkish lira (€41 million), falling short of analyst expectations, which had forecast a more modest 1.1 billion lira (€22 million) deficit. Despite the miss, the result marks a notable improvement over the same period in 2024, when losses ballooned to 5.6 billion lira (€114 million).
Revenue for the quarter declined 11% year-over-year, landing at 124 billion lira (€2.53 billion). The drop reflects a slowdown in domestic appliance demand, as many Turkish households had already front-loaded purchases in recent years to hedge against inflation.
Looking ahead, Arçelik aims to preserve EBITDA margins between 6% and 6.5% for the full year by trimming capital expenditures—from a projected €300 million down to €250 million.
On the global front, the company expects a 5–10% boost in foreign currency earnings by year-end, driven by performance across Beko Europe, Egypt, and Asia.

Fnac Darty reported a 1.6% year-on-year increase in third-quarter sales for 2025, reaching €2.5 billion on a like-for-like basis—assuming Unieuro had already been part of the group in Q3 2024. The actual impact of Unieuro’s integration was far more dramatic, driving a 34.6% surge in total sales.
📈 Regional Highlights:
– France led the charge with a 1.7% uptick, reinforcing its role as the group’s growth engine.
– Rest of Europe saw more modest gains at 1.3%, reflecting mixed market dynamics.
– Spain emerged as a standout performer, posting a 3.9% increase in Q3 and a robust 6.2% rise over the first nine months.
📉 Italy’s Drag:
Despite Unieuro’s contribution to overall growth, Italy was the only market to contract, with turnover dipping 0.6% year-to-date. This suggests localized challenges that may require strategic recalibration.
Fnac Darty’s performance underscores the strategic value of its Unieuro acquisition while highlighting the need for targeted efforts in underperforming regions.
