  • Financial-services revenue grew 15.7% as the credit portfolio expanded 13.3% to 8.2 million cardholders; the non‑performing loan ratio reached 4.4% with provisions at MXN 1,359 million and coverage at 10.7%.
  • Inventories increased 15.8% ahead of the year‑end season, and Liverpool booked MXN 299 million in one‑time costs tied to the Arco Norte logistics migration, while Nordstrom contributed MXN 1,141 million in associates income.
  • Liverpool reported steady omnichannel momentum with digital GMV up 21.9%, marketplace growth of 27.6%, Click & Collect at 39.6% of orders, and new store formats including seven Liverpool Express, seven Livestore boutiques, the first standalone Disney Stores in Mexico, and four Fabletics locations.
