2-Min Summary
Raymond Lifestyle delivered a strong FY26 with total income of ₹7,034 crore (+11% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹804 crore (+23% YoY), marking the highest ever. Q4 saw revenue of ₹1,810 crore (+15% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹152 crore (+53% YoY), with EBITDA margin expanding 210bps QoQ to 8.4%. Growth was driven by robust domestic consumption, premiumization, and scale benefits from factory utilization above 90%. The garmenting segment rebounded sharply (+38% YoY) on US trade deal recovery.

We crossed 7,000 cr recording our highest ever total income of 7034 crores and 11% year-on-year growth.
Our factory utilizations which traditionally used to be between 80 85% have all gone above 90%.
We are not giving a guidance at this stage. However, our idea is even in the year of consolidation to keep a double digit topline growth and a double digit bottom line growth.
