Q1-FY26 · Nisan Joseph
We're not here to hit a number. We're here to capitalize on as many rental deals that make sense for Metro come our way.
Q1-FY26 · Nisan Joseph
If you go back to FY20 Q1 which is pre-COVID, we're up 101% over that quarter. Even after last quarter of muted demand, if I were to CAGR that, it would still come to 12%. We're not seeing any fundamental cracks or gaps in the business that alarm us.
Q3-FY26 · Nissan Joseph
We posted a 15% growth in our standalone business and our consolidated business. It was good to have a quarter without any unusual events or any offsets from the year before.
Q3-FY26 · Nissan Joseph
What we need to do is ensure that we continue to provide value to our consumers... maintaining that number [33% EBITDA margin] is not an easy task in itself but we've done it quite consistently. We've guided to it and I'm happy to say that we've hit our guidance almost every single time.
Q3-FY26 · Nissan Joseph
We will continue to open as many stores as makes sense. Fortunately, we're not capital-starved in any way to do that. We want to make sure that we open stores for profitability. We open stores for growth. We open stores to capitalize on markets and market share and we're not going to be driven by a fixated number.
