Cantabil Retail India Limited, a leading integrated fashion retail player, has kicked off FY26 on a high note with robust financial and operational performance in the first quarter. The company reported a 24% year-on-year growth in revenue from operations to Rs 158.7 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as compared to Rs 127.6 crore in the same quarter last year.
Profit after tax (PAT) also registered a sharp 29% rise, reaching Rs 14.7 crore in Q1 FY26 against Rs 11.4 crore in Q1 FY25, signaling strong operational efficiency and a continued focus on profitable expansion.
Same-store sales growth (SSG) stood at a healthy 11.3%, reflecting improved footfall, better conversion, and strong consumer connect with the brand.
EBIDTA grew in tandem with revenue, increasing 24% to Rs 49 crore, while margins remained steady at 30.8%. The PAT margin improved to 9.2%, up from 8.9% in Q1 FY25, underscoring the company’s focus on maintaining cost discipline and delivering value-driven growth.
On the retail expansion front, Cantabil continues to scale its footprint steadily. The company now operates 605 exclusive brand outlets (EBOs) across India, spanning a total retail area of 8.06 lakh sq. ft.
Vijay Bansal, Chairman & Managing Director, said, “We are pleased to report a strong start to the fiscal year, with robust performance across all key financial and operational metrics. The double-digit same-store sales growth, alongside 24% revenue growth and 29% increase in PAT, reflects the growing momentum of our business and the strength of our execution.”
He also noted early signs of demand recovery supported by improving consumer sentiment and a forecast of an above-normal monsoon, which is expected to bolster rural demand and discretionary spending.
“With a resilient business model, strong balance sheet, and growing consumer loyalty, we are confident in our ability to sustain momentum, capitalize on emerging opportunities, and reinforce our leadership in India’s value fashion space,” he concluded.
