NEW DELHI – Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd.'s consolidated net loss for the March quarter widened on year as the fashion retailer's total expenses rose slightly more than the company's revenue from operations. The high base effect due to earnings from discontinued operations of Madura Fashion in the year-ago quarter also led to the widening of net losses.

The expense for the purchases of stock-in-trade accounted for nearly 39% of the total expense, and grew over 19% on year to INR 8.87 billion. The depreciation and amortisation cost grew 11% on year to INR 3.49 billion, while the expense from employee benefits rose more than 4% to INR 2.95 billion. The company's other expenses rose over 2% to INR 5.75 billion.
The company's revenue from Pantaloons grew over 18% on year to INR 10.48 billion, while that from ethnic and other segments grew over 12% on year to INR 9.50 billion.
The company's consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation grew 57% on year to INR 3.11 billion. The company's EBITDA margin expanded to 15.7% in the March quarter as against 11.6% in the year-ago quarter.
The company's EBITDA for Pantaloons was INR 1.62 billion while that from the ethnic business was INR 810 million. During the reporting quarter, the company added 16 new stores.
For the financial year 2025-26 (Apr-Mar), the company reported a consolidated net loss of INR 7.76 billion, as against a loss of INR 3.76 billion. The company's revenue from operations grew over 11% on year to INR 81.77 billion. The company's consolidated FY26 EBITDA was INR 9.67 billion, up 28% on year.
