New Delhi: Apparel retailer Cantabil Retail India reported a 29 per cent year-on-year increase in profit after tax (PAT) to Rs 14.7 crore for the first quarter ended June 2025, as compared to Rs 11.4 crore in the same period last year, driven by robust same-store sales growth and improving consumer sentiment, it said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday.
Its revenue from operations stood at Rs 159 crore, up 24 per cent from Rs 128 crore in Q1 FY25. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) also rose 24 per cent to Rs 49 crore, with EBITDA margin holding steady at 30.8 per cent versus 30.9 per cent in the year-ago quarter, as per the BSE filing.
Commenting on the performance, Vijay Bansal, chairman and managing director, Cantabil Retail, said the results reflect “growing momentum” in the business.
“This performance is not just a reflection of numbers, it’s a clear signal of deepening consumer trust, strong brand recall, and the effectiveness of our customer-centric approach,” he said.
He noted that the company’s value-focused fashion proposition combining trend-led styles with affordability continues to resonate across markets.
Cantabil said it sees early signs of demand recovery, supported by improving sentiment and macro indicators such as forecasts of an above-normal monsoon, which could lift rural demand and discretionary spending in the coming quarters.
“Our continued investment in expansion, innovation, and customer experience gives us a distinct advantage as we enter the next phase of growth,” Bansal added.
The company said it is well-positioned to capitalise on emerging opportunities in India’s growing value fashion segment.
