Raymond Q2 Profit Rises Marginally

Textile, apparel, and real estate conglomerate Raymond Ltd on Wednesday reported a marginal rise in its net profit to Rs 1.6 billion (bn) for the September quarter from Rs 1.5 bn in the previous year.

While the profit growth was modest, it came amid a delayed festive and wedding season, which typically contributes significantly to the company's sales.

Revenue from operations grew by 4% year-on-year to Rs 22.5 bn from Rs 21.7 bn in the same period previous quarter.

The company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) stood at Rs 3.8 bn, up 7% from Rs 3.6 bn in the previous year.

The branded textile segment saw a stable top-line performance during the September quarter, with sales of Rs 9.3 bn, compared to Rs 9.1 bn last year.

The quarter saw a reduced offtake due to postponed festivals and wedding dates, further impacted by the presence of an additional month (adhik maas) in the Hindu calendar this year. Despite these factors, the segment maintained a healthy EBITDA margin of 22.1%.

The branded apparel segment achieved significant growth in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, with sales reaching Rs 4.4 bn, an impressive 18% increase compared to Rs 3.7 bn in the same quarter last year.

This remarkable growth is attributed to the exceptional performance of the company's retail stores and the large format stores (LFS) channel.
