V-Mart Retail Limited has released the transcript of its Q4 FY26 earnings conference call, which was held on May 08, 2026. The call featured insights from Managing Director Mr. Lalit Agarwal and Chief Financial Officer Mr. Anand Agarwal, along with moderator Ms. Vaishnavi Mandhaniya from Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers Limited.
During the call, Mr. Agarwal highlighted a healthy consumption outlook in India, supported by controlled inflation and rising per capita income. He acknowledged the impact of geopolitical challenges and crude oil price fluctuations on raw material costs, particularly polyester yarn, which could affect apparel prices by 5% to 7%. The company is working with vendors to mitigate these impacts and has passed on a controlled portion to consumers.
Financially, V-Mart reported a strong Q4 FY26 with a 24% total sales growth, driven by 29 new store additions and a 12% like-to-like (LTL) same-store sales growth. The Unlimited format in the South market showed robust performance with 28% revenue growth. Gross margins saw a year-on-year decrease of 1% due to inventory provisions and a reduced contribution from LimeRoad commission income. However, improved inventory health, with a 3-day reduction in inventory days and a 13% year-on-year decrease in per-store inventory, is expected to lead to better gross margins going forward.
EBITDA grew by 56% year-on-year to ₹106 crore, with margins expanding by 220 basis points to 10.9%. Adjusted PAT saw significant growth, reaching ₹10 crore for the quarter. For the full year, PAT grew 6x to ₹124 crore, reaching pre-COVID levels. Capex for the quarter was ₹37 crore, with an estimated ₹170-180 crore for the next year. The company plans to add 13% to 15% new stores annually.
The management discussed strategies to navigate inflationary pressures, focusing on efficiency, product innovation, and strategic sourcing to manage costs without significantly impacting consumer demand. They also highlighted the growing importance of the omni-channel business and the integration of AI for operational efficiency.
