Metro Brands delivered a strong Q1 FY27, with revenue jumping 14.7% YoY to Rs 720 Cr.

EBITDA also grew 10.4% to Rs 215 Cr, maintaining a 29.8% margin.

Profit after tax (PAT) saw a slight dip to Rs 95 Cr (-3.6%) due to strategic investments in talent, brand building, and new store occupancy costs.

June sales were robust, boosted by the wedding season.

The company now operates 1,041 stores across 222 cities, with in-house brands contributing 71% of revenue.

Key growth strategies include continued store expansion, leveraging its multi-brand platform with partners like Crocs and Clarks, and scaling e-commerce, which now makes up 13.1% of revenue.

The sports & athleisure segment, through Fila, Foot Locker, and New Era, remains a focus.

Recent developments include 9 net new stores added this quarter.

Clarks' Cloudsteppers range is expanding, with a full product rollout expected by Q2 FY27 and exclusive brand outlets (EBOs) by Q3 FY27. Fila has commenced local manufacturing in India, and new EBOs for Fila and New Era have opened.

Foot Locker expansion faces temporary supply chain challenges due to BIS implementation.
