Arvind Fashions delivered another quarter of double-digit revenue growth, with revenue up 11.3% YoY to ₹1,418 crore and EBITDA up 18.2% to ₹200 crore, marking the highest ever sales and EBITDA. Growth was driven by strong retail like-for-like sales of 8.3% and over 50% growth in online B2C, with direct channels now accounting for nearly 50% of sales. Gross margin expanded 210 bps to ~53% due to reduced discounting and better inventory freshness (85%+). PAT grew 23% to ₹37 crore. Management remains optimistic about H2, citing a strong wedding calendar and GST reforms, but expects to invest in marketing, which may temper margin expansion. Key risk: wholesale channel destocking due to GST transition could persist.
अरविंड फैशन्स ने एक और तिमाही में दोहरे अंकों की कमाई बढ़त दर्ज की। कमाई 11.3% बढ़कर ₹1,418 करोड़ और EBITDA (कमाई से खर्च घटाने के बाद का मुनाफा) 18.2% बढ़कर ₹200 करोड़ हुआ, जो अब तक का सबसे अधिक है। यह बढ़त मुख्य रूप से दुकानों की बिक्री में 8.3% सुधार और ऑनलाइन बिक्री में 50% से अधिक उछाल से आई। अब सीधे चैनलों (दुकान और ऑनलाइन) से लगभग 50% बिक्री हो रही है। कम छूट और बेहतर इन्वेंट्री (स्टॉक) के कारण कच्चा मुनाफा 53% तक पहुंच गया। शुद्ध मुनाफा 23% बढ़कर ₹37 करोड़ हुआ। कंपनी को शादियों के सीजन और GST सुधारों से उम्मीद है, लेकिन मार्केटिंग पर ज्यादा खर्च से मुनाफा बढ़ने की रफ्तार धीमी हो सकती है। जोखिम: थोक बिक्री में GST बदलाव के कारण स्टॉक कम हो सकता है।
