Metro Brands Limited has released the transcript of its earnings conference call for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026. The call, conducted after the Board of Directors' meeting on May 20, 2026, featured discussions on financial performance, market strategies, and future outlook.
During the call, the management highlighted a 20% growth in standalone business for Q4 FY26, with a corresponding 20% growth in EBITDA and 18% growth in PAT. The digital commerce business saw a significant surge of 53%, now accounting for 12% of total revenues. The company also crossed the 1,000-store mark, ending the quarter with 1,032 stores, including the first two FILA stores post-acquisition. A new distribution center (DC) was opened in March 2026, increasing storage capacity by 200,000 square feet.
Discussions also covered input cost inflation, with management indicating an overall input cost rise of around 10%, mitigated by forward buying and existing inventory. The company noted that footwear, being a non-essential and non-big-ticket item, is less susceptible to demand fluctuations from inflation, particularly among its premium customer base. Growth drivers for the upcoming year were discussed, including Same Store Sales Growth (SSG) and new store additions across various brands like Metro Mochi, Walkway, Clarks, and FILA. The company expressed confidence in sustaining a long-term growth rate of over 15% year-on-year, despite potential short-term fluctuations.
Investments in technology, including a POS system upgrade and AI agent development, along with significant leadership hires (Chief Technology Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Product Officer), were also detailed as key initiatives to support future growth. The expansion strategy for brands like Walkway in Tier-3 and Tier-4 towns was also elaborated upon, emphasizing the potential to capture market share from the unorganized sector.
