ABFRL reported Q1 FY24 consolidated revenue of INR 3,196 crore (+11% YoY) and EBITDA of INR 353 crore (11% margin), with PAT loss of INR 162 crore. The discretionary consumption slowdown persisted, impacting Pantaloons (revenue INR 1,030 crore, margin 13.4%) and ethnic wear, while Lifestyle Brands delivered resilient margins (18.3%, +80bps). Management expects demand recovery in H2 post-festive season, with Pantaloons store additions moderated to 35-40 stores. Key risks include prolonged demand weakness and elevated debt (INR 2,100 crore net, expected INR 2,800 crore year-end including TCNS acquisition).
ABFRL ने पहली तिमाही में 3,196 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 11% ज़्यादा है। कंपनी ने 353 करोड़ रुपये का परिचालन लाभ कमाया, लेकिन उसे 162 करोड़ रुपये का शुद्ध घाटा हुआ। लोगों ने कम खर्च किया, जिससे पैंटालून और एथनिक वियर की बिक्री प्रभावित हुई। वहीं, लाइफस्टाइल ब्रांड्स ने अच्छा मुनाफा दिखाया। कंपनी को त्योहारों के बाद दूसरी छमाही में मांग बढ़ने की उम्मीद है। पैंटालून के नए स्टोर 35-40 तक सीमित रहेंगे। मुख्य जोखिम हैं: कमज़ोर मांग बनी रहना और 2,100 करोड़ रुपये का कर्ज़, जो साल के अंत तक 2,800 करोड़ तक बढ़ सकता है।
