Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail posts widened Q2 loss of Rs 214.70 crore, revenue up 12.9% YoY

Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd (ABFRL) released its fiscal second quarter earnings with a loss of Rs 214.70 crore in comparison to a loss of Rs 200.34 crore recorded during the corresponding quarter of previous year. It posted revenue from operations at Rs 3,643.86 crore, registering a growth of 12.9 per cent as against Rs 3,226.44 crore during the same period of previous financial year. The company EBITDA stood at Rs 361.4 crore, up 11.8 per cent on-year. “Businesses achieved consistent growth this quarter, despite a subdued consumption environment, driven by sustained focus on driving product enhancements, elevated customer experiences and brand refresh,” the company said in a regulatory filing.

Consolidated net profit, the company said, was impacted on account of higher depreciation/amortization for brand and retail assets due to inclusion of TCNS and higher interest costs on account of elevated borrowings.

While Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands Limited (ABLBL) reported sustained margins, the demerged ABFRL posted a sharp recovery in margins across its constituent businesses,” it said.
