Grupo Falabella reported a significant increase in profits for the third quarter of 2025, posting US$167 million, which is 83.9% higher than the same period last year. The company’s total profits for the year have reached US$745 million. EBITDA for the quarter was US$430 million, with a margin of 13.2%, attributed to efficiency improvements and strong sales across all business units.

The company’s financial performance has been recognized by international rating agencies. In October, Fitch Ratings upgraded Grupo Falabella’s international credit rating to BBB- with a stable outlook, restoring its investment grade status. S&P Global Ratings also improved its outlook from “Stable” to “Positive,” citing better profitability, reduced leverage, and a robust financial structure. The group’s leverage ratio dropped to 1.8 times net financial debt over EBITDA.

Alejandro González, CEO of Grupo Falabella, commented: “Today we are in a position of commercial and financial leadership that allows us to look to the future with hunger for growth, the ambition to seize opportunities, and to continue anticipating our customers’ needs.”

González also noted: “We are well positioned to face the last part of 2025, historically the most commercially relevant period of the year, with a more integrated ecosystem, strengthened logistics and digital capabilities, a base of 37 million customers, and more than 21 million enrolled in our loyalty program.”

All five businesses within Grupo Falabella showed sales growth during the quarter:

– Falabella Retail increased revenues by 13% compared to last year and saw improved margins through an omnichannel approach and specialist offerings.
– Sodimac posted a 5% revenue increase driven by online channel growth; GMV rose by 8%, or 16% excluding special events.
– Tottus grew revenues by 7%, improving store layouts in Chile and consolidating new formats in Peru.
– E-commerce continued its momentum with a comparable GMV growth of 17% and notable increases in seller sales and Click & Collect deliveries during recent online events.
– Banco Falabella expanded loans by reaching US$7.4 billion across four markets—Chile (+16%), Peru (+10%), Colombia (+7%), Mexico (+38%)—and opened over 792,000 new accounts during the quarter.

Mallplaza achieved a revenue increase of 37%, driven by consolidation in Peru as well as lease activity in Chile and Colombia. It recorded over 93 million visits during this period and launched Mallplaza Premium Outlet while announcing an investment plan totaling US$570 million through 2028 aimed at expanding assets regionally.
