BaFin audits Zalando's 2025 accounts over potential About You acquisition omissions

Germany's financial regulator BaFin has launched a formal audit of Zalando's 2025 consolidated accounts over possible omissions related to the About You acquisition. The examination, which began on 19 June, will investigate whether information about a transaction involving a related entity was improperly excluded from the group's financial statement notes. BaFin stressed that opening the audit does not confirm any error or suggest inaccuracies are likely. The regulator is legally required to review cases where concrete indications of accounting irregularities exist and make such reviews public. Zalando called the matter "purely formal and materially immaterial", noting all relevant acquisition information was already publicly available through the takeover offer. The audit follows strong fiscal 2025 results, with revenue rising 16.8% to €12.3 billion.
