Monte Carlo Fashions Limited has released the transcript of their earnings conference call held on August 6, 2026, to discuss the financial results for the first quarter of FY27. During the call, the company reported revenue from operations of ₹149 crore, marking an 8% year-on-year growth. However, the first quarter resulted in an EBITDA loss of ₹13 crore and a net loss of ₹23 crore, primarily due to higher product returns, the impact of which is expected to be offset in subsequent quarters.
The company highlighted broad-based growth across key product categories, with cotton volumes up by 23% and home textiles by 42% year-on-year. Footwear sales increased by 38% year-on-year. Monte Carlo is on track with its retail expansion strategy, aiming to open 40 to 45 exclusive brand outlets during the year, with a focus on the western and southern regions. The digital channel also showed traction with a 15% year-on-year increase in online sales, enhanced by partnerships with quick commerce platforms.
Management addressed concerns regarding higher returns in Q1 FY27, explaining that an increased capacity to process returns allowed for more efficient handling of B2B returns from retailers. They anticipate these returns will average out over the next quarters. The company also discussed margin pressures due to input cost volatility, expecting a potential 100 basis point difference in margins compared to the previous year, though they are implementing price hikes to mitigate this. Monte Carlo is targeting a low double-digit growth for the full financial year and aims for 10% same-store sales growth.
