✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
ABFRL reported Q4 FY24 consolidated revenue of INR 3,407 crore, up 18% YoY, driven by new businesses (Ethnic, TMRW, Reebok). Standalone revenue grew 8% YoY to INR 2,852 crore. Consolidated EBITDA margin expanded 300 bps YoY to 11.1%, aided by profitability measures in Lifestyle and Pantaloons. Lifestyle brands posted flat revenue but EBITDA grew 36% YoY with margin of 19.5%. Pantaloons revenue grew 10% YoY with EBITDA margin up 270 bps to 10.4%. The company announced a demerger of Madura Fashion & Lifestyle into a separate listed entity. Management guided for continued margin improvement and debt reduction via a INR 2,500 crore capital raise. Risk: sustained discretionary spending slowdown could pressure growth.
ABFRL ने चौथी तिमाही में 3,407 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 18% ज्यादा है। यह बढ़ोतरी नए कारोबारों (एथनिक, टीएमआरडब्ल्यू, रीबॉक) से आई। सिर्फ अपने मुख्य कारोबार की कमाई 8% बढ़कर 2,852 करोड़ रुपये रही। कंपनी का मुनाफा (EBITDA) 11.1% हो गया, जो पिछले साल से 3% ज्यादा है। लाइफस्टाइल ब्रांड्स की कमाई स्थिर रही, लेकिन मुनाफा 36% बढ़ा। पैंटालून की कमाई 10% बढ़ी और मुनाफा 10.4% हो गया। कंपनी मदुरा फैशन को अलग करके शेयर बाजार में लाएगी। साथ ही, 2,500 करोड़ रुपये जुटाकर कर्ज घटाएगी। खतरा: अगर लोग खर्च कम करेंगे तो कंपनी की बढ़त धीमी हो सकती है।
