Metro Brands to Host Investor/Analyst Meet; Reports H1 FY26 & Q2 FY26 Results
Metro Brands will host an investor meet on October 17, 2025, after reporting H1 FY26 consolidated revenue growth of 10.1% to ₹1,279 crore. PAT saw a slight decline due to store openings and marketing spend. Strategic partnerships and store expansion continue.
This announcement is a detailed investor presentation covering H1 FY26 and Q2 FY26 financial results, operational performance, and updates on significant strategic initiatives (Clarks, Foot Locker, Fila, New Era). While PAT declined, the comprehensive business overview and future plans make it of medium importance for investors.
The company demonstrated good revenue and EBITDA growth for H1 and Q2 FY26, alongside significant store expansion and strategic partnerships. However, the decline in PAT for both periods, attributed to non-cash accounting impacts and increased marketing spend, and external factors like monsoon and GST impact, balances the positive developments, leading to a neutral sentiment.
Metro Brands Limited will hold an Investor/Analyst Meeting on Friday, October 17, 2025, at 3:30 PM IST, for which an investor presentation has been enclosed. The company reported the following key highlights for H1 FY26 and Q2 FY26: * Consolidated revenue from operations for H1 FY26 grew by 10.1% YoY to ₹1,279 crore, with EBITDA at ₹366 crore (8.9% YoY growth) and PAT at ₹168 crore (2.3% YoY growth). * Standalone revenue from operations for H1 FY26 grew by 10.7% YoY to ₹1,251 crore, with EBITDA at ₹360 crore (9.3% YoY growth) and PAT at ₹161 crore (1.7% YoY growth). * For Q2 FY26, consolidated revenue from operations increased by 11.2% YoY to ₹651 crore, EBITDA grew by 10.1% to ₹171 crore, but PAT declined by 3.9% to ₹69 crore. * For Q2 FY26, standalone revenue from operations increased by 12.2% YoY to ₹636 crore, EBITDA grew by 12.3% to ₹167 crore, but PAT declined by 2.4% to ₹64 crore. * The decline in PAT margins for H1 and Q2 FY26 was primarily due to higher non-cash IndAS 116 impact from increased store openings (including 4 Foot Locker stores) and higher marketing spend (~1% of net sales for Crossover collection launch). * During H1 FY26, the company added 58 net new stores, reaching a total of 966 stores by September 30, 2025. E-commerce sales grew by 42% YoY, contributing 13.9% to overall revenue. * Strategic updates include a long-term exclusive partnership with Clarks for India and neighboring countries, with plans to launch the complete product range in H2 FY26 and Clarks EBOs in H1 FY27. * The company has started local manufacturing for Fila footwear due to BIS-related concerns and plans to open new Fila EBOs in H2 FY26. Supply chain disruptions from BIS regulations for global brands are expected to normalize by end of FY26. * Metro Brands opened 4 Foot Locker stores and 1 New Era store (with 3 kiosks) in Q2 FY26. * In FY25, Metro Brands processed approximately 4,364 tons (~11 million pairs) of old and discarded footwear in an eco-friendly manner, meeting its long-term recycling goal ahead of schedule.
