ABFRL reported Q3 FY24 consolidated revenue of INR 4,167 crore, up 16% YoY, driven by new businesses (ethnic, digital, sportswear) contributing ~20% of revenue. EBITDA grew to INR 605 crore with margin expansion of 150 bps to 14.5%, aided by gross margin improvement and lower markdowns. PAT was negative at INR 108 crore due to higher depreciation and interest costs. Standalone revenue grew 5% to INR 3,516 crore, with EBITDA margin expanding 315 bps to 17.4%. Lifestyle brands saw muted growth due to conscious discount reduction, while Pantaloons delivered 12% revenue growth and 360 bps margin expansion. New businesses like Sabyasachi (43% growth) and TMRW (3.7x revenue) performed well. Management expects subdued demand to persist, especially in smaller towns, and guided for moderate store additions. Key risk: sustained consumer slowdown impacting value segment recovery.
ABFRL ने तीसरी तिमाही में 4,167 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 16% ज्यादा है। यह बढ़ोतरी नए कारोबारों (जैसे एथनिक वियर, डिजिटल, स्पोर्ट्सवियर) से आई, जो अब कुल कमाई का 20% हिस्सा हैं। कंपनी का मुनाफा (EBITDA) 605 करोड़ रुपये रहा, और मार्जिन 14.5% हो गया, जो पहले 13% था। यह सस्ते कपड़े कम बेचने और मुनाफे में सुधार से हुआ। लेकिन कंपनी को 108 करोड़ रुपये का घाटा हुआ, क्योंकि कर्ज पर ब्याज और मशीनरी की घिसावट का खर्च बढ़ गया। पैंटालून्स ने 12% ज्यादा कमाई की। सब्यसाची जैसे ब्रांड ने 43% और TMRW ने 3.7 गुना ज्यादा कमाई की। कंपनी को लगता है कि छोटे शहरों में मांग कम रहेगी, इसलिए नए स्टोर धीरे-धीरे खोले जाएंगे।
