ABFRL reported Q2 FY24 consolidated revenue of INR 3,226 crore (+5% YoY) and EBITDA of INR 369 crore (11.4% margin). PAT was negative at INR 200 crore. The quarter was impacted by sluggish discretionary spending, Adhik Maas, festive shift, and fewer wedding dates. Lifestyle Brands revenue fell 6% YoY but EBITDA margin expanded 430bps to 21.3% due to cost measures and gross margin improvement. Pantaloons revenue declined to INR 1,021 crore, with gross margin dilution of 250-300bps from inventory liquidation. Innerwear declined 10% YoY. Reebok grew 77% and American Eagle 37%. TCNS acquisition (51%) completed in September. Management is cautiously optimistic on festive recovery but notes continued stress at lower-end consumers. Risk: sustained demand weakness in value segment could delay margin recovery.
ABFRL ने दूसरी तिमाही में 3,226 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 5% ज्यादा है। कंपनी ने 369 करोड़ रुपये का परिचालन लाभ कमाया, जो कमाई का 11.4% है। लेकिन कंपनी को 200 करोड़ रुपये का शुद्ध घाटा हुआ। इस तिमाही में लोगों ने कम खरीदारी की, अधिक मास और त्योहारों की वजह से बिक्री प्रभावित हुई। लाइफस्टाइल ब्रांड्स की बिक्री 6% घटी, लेकिन लागत कम करने से मुनाफा बढ़ा। पैंटालून्स की बिक्री 1,021 करोड़ रुपये रही, पुराने स्टॉक बेचने से मुनाफा कम हुआ। अंडरगारमेंट्स की बिक्री 10% घटी। रीबॉक और अमेरिकन ईगल की बिक्री बढ़ी। कंपनी ने टीसीएनएस खरीदा। प्रबंधन को त्योहारों से उम्मीद है, लेकिन गरीब ग्राहकों पर दबाव जारी है।
