Management Commentary:

Commenting on the results, Mr. Vijay Bansal Chairman & Managing Director of Cantabil Retail India said:

We are pleased to report a strong first half of the fiscal year, marked by robust performance across all key financial and operational indicators. Same-store sales grew in the higher single digits, driving a 20% increase in revenue and a 19% rise in profit after tax (PAT) ? clear evidence of our business momentum and operational excellence.

Our performance underscores the growing trust of our consumers, the strength of our brand, and the continued success of our customer-centric approach. Our differentiated value proposition ? offering fresh, trend-led fashion with superior affordability and quality ? continues to resonate strongly across our markets.

Encouragingly, we are witnessing early signs of a demand recovery, supported by improving consumer sentiment in recent months. The outlook is further strengthened by favorable macroeconomic factors, including forecasts of an above-normal monsoon, which are expected to boost rural demand and discretionary spending.

We believe that companies with strong brand equity, agile execution, and extensive retail reach are best positioned to capture this upswing. Our continued investments in store expansion, product innovation, and customer experience provide a solid foundation for the next phase of growth.

With a resilient business model, healthy balance sheet, and growing consumer loyalty, we remain confident in our ability to sustain our growth trajectory, capitalize on emerging opportunities, and reinforce our leadership in India?s value fashion segment.
