Q3 & 9M FY25 Result Highlights

Management Commentary

Commenting on the financial performance Mr. Vikash Agarwal - Whole Time Director, said,

“We are pleased to present a detailed overview of the Company’s performance for the quarter. Despite the macro-economic scenario marked by mixed factors, including moderate growth and elevated inflation resulting to restrained discretionary spending, we maintained stable performance. Our volumes grew by ~ 3%, driven by robust sales in the economy and athleisure segments during 9M FY25.

Revenues for the quarter stood at Rs. 316 crores, while EBITDA increased 15% YoY to Rs. 38 crores in Q3 with margins improving by 170 bps, reflecting outcome of our disciplined approach towards cost management and operational efficiency. Net profit for the quarter grew 14% YoY to Rs. 24 crores, with margins improving by 100 bps, underscoring the effectiveness and resilience of our business model. We remained committed to optimizing working capital and achieved net cash surplus position in the 9M FY25. As at 31st December 2024 our net cash surplus including investments amounted to Rs 30 crores. Operational cash flow remains strong, generating Rs. 65 crores in 9M FY25. Branding and advertising expenses totalled Rs. 46 crores, accounting for 5.6% of overall revenues.

Modern Trade exhibited robust 26% growth in 9M FY25, contributing 6% to overall revenues, reinforcing our strong presence across major online platforms. Additionally, X-factor areas delivered a growth of 13% , highlighting our success in diversifying revenue streams. Our Exclusive Brand Outlet (EBO) network expanded to 35 stores as of 9M FY25, aligning with our retail expansion strategy to enhance market reach. Export revenue contribution stood at 3% in 9M FY25.

Amidst the current suboptimal macro-economic environment, our continued focus remains on customer centric approach and realigning sales strategies to ensure growth momentum remains imperative.”
