Nordstrom is back to pre-pandemic revenue levels as it closed FY2025 with revenue of $15.8bn, up 5.3% from FY2024. Nordstrom thus equals its all-time record of 2019, before the impact of Covid-19 on consumption and the rise of the online channel. Sales raised from $15bn recorded the previous year, consolidating its recovery in a context still marked by the transformation of retail. In Q4, ended 31^st January, Nordstrom increased its revenues by 7% to $4.6bn. In terms of profitability, the group’s operating profit soared, EBIT grew by 61% in the last fiscal year to $799mn, excluding accounting adjustments resulting from the privatization process.

In addition to the shareholder realignment, Nordstrom has been helped by the weakening of some competitors. The business performance comes after the fourth generation of the Nordstrom family and El Puerto de Liverpool completed the acquisition of the company in May in a transaction valued at $6.25bn. Following the transaction, the family controls 50.1% of the capital, while the El Puerto de Liverpool owns 49.9%.
