ABFRL reported Q1 FY25 revenue of INR 3,428 crore (+7% YoY) and EBITDA of INR 406 crore (+15% YoY) with an 11.8% margin. PAT loss widened to INR -215 crore due to continued investments in TMRW and ethnic businesses. Growth was driven by new businesses (ethnic, digital-first) which more than doubled revenue, while established segments (Lifestyle, Pantaloons) saw margin expansion despite weak demand from a subdued wedding season and heat wave. Pantaloons EBITDA margin expanded 470 bps to 17.6% through better product mix and cost control. Management expects demand improvement in H2 FY25 led by festive and wedding seasons. Key risk: sustained consumer weakness could delay recovery.
ABFRL ने पहली तिमाही में 3,428 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 7% ज्यादा है। कंपनी ने 406 करोड़ रुपये का EBITDA कमाया, जो 15% बढ़ा और मुनाफा मार्जिन 11.8% रहा। हालांकि, नए कारोबार (TMRW और एथनिक) में निवेश के कारण कंपनी को 215 करोड़ रुपये का शुद्ध घाटा हुआ। नए कारोबार (एथनिक और डिजिटल) ने कमाई दोगुनी कर दी, जबकि पुराने कारोबार (लाइफस्टाइल, पैंटालून) ने कमजोर शादी के सीजन और गर्मी के बावजूद मार्जिन बढ़ाया। पैंटालून का मार्जिन 17.6% हो गया। कंपनी को त्योहारी सीजन में मांग बढ़ने की उम्मीद है, लेकिन कमजोर मांग जारी रही तो रिकवरी में देरी हो सकती है।
