Gross profit increased 5% year-on-year to Rs 77 crore, with gross margins holding steady at 62%.
The company opened five new stores in leading malls and high streets, while closing seven underperforming stores, improving network quality and productivity.
Management sees positive signals from renovated and new stores under the Mufti 2.0 transformation, indicating early traction from premiumization efforts.
Marketing investments are being directed increasingly toward digital platforms like Google and Meta, strengthening brand visibility and consumer engagement across channels.

Negative

EBITDA declined to approximately Rs 27 crore from Rs 31 crore in the same period last year, due to higher investments in advertising and brand building.

Demand moderated from mid-May, with management remaining cautious about near-term discretionary spending due to geopolitical tensions and an uncertain global environment.
Management could not provide a clear timeline for when revenue growth would outpace marketing spend, indicating uncertainty about the payback period of brand investments.
