India's Aditya Birla Fashion reports $882 mn revenue in FY25, up 14%

However, the profit after tax (PAT) for FY25 remained negative at ₹161 crore (~$18.89 million) due to investments in new businesses and higher interest costs.

Meanwhile, the company posted a 9 per cent year-over-year (YoY) revenue growth in the fourth quarter (Q4) FY25, reaching ₹1,719 crore, while EBITDA surged 202 per cent to ₹295 crore, with a margin of 17.2 per cent.

TMRW’s portfolio grew 27 per cent in Q4 and it exited the quarter with 16 stores, supported by product innovation and new category launches.

Pantaloons reported quarterly revenue of ₹885 crore with a 470 basis points (bps) expansion in EBITDA margin to 15.1 per cent in Q4, driven by lower markdowns and cost control measures.
