ABFRL Q2 FY27 Call Transcript: Revenue at ₹2,030 Cr, EBITDA at ₹67 Cr Amid Festive Shift
ABFRL released its Q2 FY27 earnings call transcript, reporting revenue of ₹2,030 crore, up 2% YoY, and EBITDA of ₹67 crore.

The emerging businesses showed growth, with luxury up 11%, TMRW up 10%, OWND up 58%, and ethnic ex-TCNS up 12%. The company closed the quarter with gross cash of ₹1,143 crore and added 35 stores, taking its retail network to 1,268 stores covering 7.8 million sq ft.

ABFRL Q3 FY26: Revenue Up 8% to ₹2,374 Cr; EBITDA Grows 13% Despite Widened Net Loss
ABFRL reported a steady 8% YoY revenue growth to ₹2,374 Cr for Q3 FY26, supported by strong performance in Ethnic and Luxury segments. While EBITDA grew 13% to ₹370 Cr with margins expanding to 15.6%, the company reported a widened net loss of ₹137 Cr compared to ₹103 Cr last year, primarily due to higher depreciation and finance costs. The core Pantaloons segment saw a 2% revenue decline due to the shift of the festive season and postponement of sales, but the Ethnic portfolio emerged as a strong driver with 20% growth.
