ABFRL delivered a solid Q1 FY26 with revenue of INR 1,831 crore (+9% YoY) and EBITDA of INR 169 crore (+38% YoY), driven by strong performance in ethnic wear (+25% YoY) and TMRW (+38% YoY). The ethnic business turned EBITDA positive, expanding margins by 600 bps, while Pantaloons maintained ~17% margins despite a flat like-to-like. Management highlighted sustained demand in wedding and occasion wear, with designer brands growing 79% YoY. Guidance points to continued margin expansion in ethnic (targeting north of 20% EBITDA margin) and a gradual turnaround in TCNS, which is now seeing double-digit like-to-like growth. TMRW raised INR 437 crore from ServiceNow Ventures to fuel omnichannel expansion. Key risk: consumer demand remains cautious and recovery gradual, which could pressure Pantaloons' same-store sales growth.
ABFRL ने पहली तिमाही (Q1 FY26) में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कमाई ₹1,831 करोड़ रही, जो पिछले साल से 9% ज़्यादा है। मुनाफा (EBITDA) ₹169 करोड़ रहा, जो 38% बढ़ा। यह वृद्धि एथनिक वियर (+25%) और TMRW (+38%) की मजबूत बिक्री से हुई। एथनिक कारोबार ने पहली बार मुनाफा कमाया और मार्जिन 6% बढ़ाया। पैंटालून्स का मार्जिन 17% के आसपास रहा। शादी और त्योहारों के कपड़ों की मांग अच्छी है। डिज़ाइनर ब्रांड्स की बिक्री 79% बढ़ी। कंपनी एथनिक मार्जिन को 20% से ऊपर ले जाना चाहती है। TCNS में सुधार हो रहा है। TMRW ने ₹437 करोड़ जुटाए। लेकिन सावधानी: ग्राहकों की मांग अभी भी धीमी है, जिससे पैंटालून्स की बिक्री पर दबाव पड़ सकता है।
