📌 POINT-BY-POINT ANALYSIS
Net Profit Beat
Net profit surged 12.8% YoY to ₹936 crore, beating estimates of ₹850 crore. Strong operational leverage and cost control drove profitability.
Revenue Miss
Revenue grew 15.1% YoY to ₹18,343 crore, but missed estimates of ₹18,850 crore. Slower-than-expected store additions and soft discretionary spending weighed.
EBITDA Inline
EBITDA rose 16.2% YoY to ₹1,526 crore, in line with estimates of ₹1,520 crore. Operating leverage from existing stores supported margins.
EBITDA Margin Expansion
EBITDA margin expanded 10 bps YoY to 8.3%, inline with estimates of 8.0%. Improved operating efficiency and product mix supported margins.
Store Addition Slowdown
Revenue miss was partly due to slower-than-expected store openings. Avenue Super Mart added fewer stores in Q1FY27 compared to the previous year, impacting top-line growth.
Operating Leverage
Despite revenue miss, EBITDA grew faster than revenue (16.2% vs 15.1%), indicating strong operating leverage. Fixed costs were absorbed well, supporting margin expansion.
Consumer Sentiment
Soft discretionary spending in urban areas impacted revenue growth. However, the value retail model continues to attract price-conscious consumers, supporting long-term growth.
