Dr Martens has said its third quarter revenue was in line with expectations as it increased by 11% to £307 million year-on-year.

On a two-year basis, sales were up 21% in the three month period ending 31 December.

Looking at the brand’s various regions, EMEA recorded year-on-year growth of 40% whilst revenue in the Americas edged up 4%. Dr Martens said the EMEA performance was driven by solid online growth and the recovery of retail. Meanwhile, the APAC region saw its revenues decline by 28% due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The brand also saw a 33% leap in direct to consumer sales via its own stores and website to make up a record 64% of sales in the period. Retail revenue climbed by 72% year-on-year following strong in-store conversion and improved footfall.

During the period, Dr Martens opened 11 new own stores, including two in Italy and four in the US.
