Arvind Fashions Ltd posted a consolidated net loss of ₹93.15 crore in the quarter ended March 2025 as against net profit of ₹24.3 crore during the previous quarter ended March 2024. The loss came despite a revenue growth of 8.8% year-on-year, with total revenue rising to ₹1,189 crore, up from ₹1,093 crore.

The company’s EBITDA grew by 18% YoY to ₹158.6 crore, which represents improved operational efficiency. Operating margins were up 13.34% from 12.3% in the year-ago quarter, due to better cost controls and brand-led performance.

The board recommended a final dividend of ₹1.60 per equity share for FY25, which will be up for shareholders ratification in the AGM to be held later.

Arvind Fashions achieved an important internal financial milestone with a ROCE of over 20% (a 4% year over year improvement) and one of the key financial criteria set out at the time of the IPO. Inventory turns were healthy at 4x, indicating optimal inventory management throughout its network of stores. Net working capital days were unchanged at 58, indicating strong cash flow discipline.

According to Shailesh Chaturvedi, MD & CEO, the company had “consistently maintained financial performance across brands” in spite of a lackluster consumer demand at retail. He also stressed the company’s focus on “high-quality profitable growth”, led by greater retail presence and digital expansion plans.

Arvind Fashions has the Indian retail licenses for international brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Arrow, which are the key in category drivers of its brand portfolio.
