Dunelm has filed interim results that show an increase in its revenue by more than £900 million, and states it has “significant headroom for growth” despite a slight dip in profits after a “softer second quarter”.
The retailer has reported revenues of £926.3 million for the 26 weeks to December 27 2025, up from £893.7 million in the same period in 2024.
“Since joining Dunelm in October, I’ve been struck by the magic that has turned this very special business from a market stall into a market leader,” said Chief Executive Clo Moriarty. “Dunelm is a universal brand with something for everyone, powered by a compelling combination of physical stores, a growing digital platform, and passionate colleagues who care deeply about delivering for customers.
“We delivered a solid first half performance despite a softer second quarter, and we are seeing stronger sales growth in early Q3 following a good winter sale and an encouraging response to our new spring ranges.
“What I’ve seen so far gives me real confidence in our future. With only 7.9 per cent market share and clear opportunities to enhance and expand our assets, we have significant headroom for growth.
“We will build on our existing strengths with relentless customer focus, product excellence and retail rigour, underpinned by the financial discipline for which Dunelm is known. There is much more in the tank, and I’m excited for what lies ahead.”
However, pre-tax profits went from £123.2m to £114m reflecting softer trading in Q2 and the “timing of certain costs”.
