MUMBAI – Retailer Vishal Mega Mart Ltd.'s top line and bottom line growth slowed down on a year-on-year basis. Even then, both the metrics saw a double-digit growth despite a sharp rise in its overall expenditure.
The hypermarket chain operator reported a 37.3% on-year increase in its consolidated net profit to INR 2.06 billion. This was a tad lower than the INR 2.16 billion expected by analysts tracking the company at Kotak Securities. The company's revenue from operations rose 21% on year to INR 31.40 billion, sligtly higher than expectations of INR 30.90 billion. Sequentially, the company's top line rose 23.3% and its bottom line rose 79%.
On the expenses front, its overall costs rose 20% to INR 28.81 billion in Apr-Jun. The company accounted for inventories worth INR 1.55 billion for the quarter under review, which was nearly four times the INR 408.48 million a year ago. Apart from that, the rise in total expenses was also due to a near 15% on-year rise in purchases of stock-in-trade to INR 20.94 billion. This item in expenses accounted for almost 73% of the company's overall expenditure. Its other expenses rose nearly 20% on year to INR 2.61 billion. The company's tax expenses were at INR 698.84 million, higher than INR 506.25 million a year ago.
Its same-stores sales growth was at 10.5% for the quarter ended June. In retail parlance, the same-stores sales growth gauges the growth in a company's revenue from existing stores over a specific period. Vishal Mega Mart gross added 23 stores and net added 21 stores during the latest quarter. As on Jun. 30, the company operates 717 stores.
The company's operating profit, which is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation, was INR 4.59 billion in Apr-Jun, lower than INR 3.66 billion reported a year ago. The company's consolidated EBITDA margin for the quarter ended June improved to 14.6% from 14.1% for the same quarter a year ago.
