OKA's adjusted EBITDA nearly tripled to £5.3 million in the year to June, with sales up 25 per cent to £46.1 million following its 2024 restructuring.
Luxury home interiors retailer OKA has posted a sharp swing into profit, with adjusted EBITDA nearly tripling in the 12 months to the end of June as the brand sees the payoff from its 2024 financial restructuring.
Sales of furniture, lighting and homewares rose to £46.1 million from £36.8 million in the previous year, a 25 per cent jump. Adjusted EBITDA climbed to £5.3 million from £1.7 million, a gain OKA attributed to improved gross margin and a reduction in its cost base. The company moved to an operating profit of £1.3 million from a loss of £4.8 million over the same period.
Mark Saunders, chief executive of OKA, said: "These results are an important milestone on our turnaround journey. We've taken some difficult decisions, re-focused on the UK market and rebuilt OKA around the things that make us unique, design, quality, craftsmanship and exceptional customer service. This is resonating with an increasingly intentional consumer who is building their home interior around key, investment pieces."
He added: "We're also making the range far more accessible through our investment in the bricks and mortar estate as well as our online business, which is introducing new and younger customers to the brand. There is great momentum in our trading performance and we're confident our strategy will help us deliver sustained sales growth."
The turnaround follows a difficult 2024, when OKA put plans to a Company Voluntary Arrangement that saw one of its 13 stores shuttered, along with a distribution centre and one of the retailer's head offices affected. That restructuring has since reshaped the cost base, with the retailer refocusing on its UK market.
The improved performance has also put OKA in the running for Homeware Retailer of the Year at the 2026 RG Excellence Awards. The full shortlist and all categories are available here. This year's awards will be hosted at the Underglobe on 14 October 2026.
