Shares of Metro Brands Ltd rose 3.14% to ₹1,226.40 on Thursday after the company reported its March quarter results for FY25. The positive market reaction came despite a sharp decline in profits, as investors focused on improved operating margins and revenue growth.
On a year-on-year consolidated basis, Metro Brands posted a net profit of ₹95.3 crore, down 38.7% from ₹155.6 crore in the same quarter last year. The decline was largely attributed to a tax outgo of ₹30.87 crore, compared to a tax writeback of ₹50.8 crore in Q4 FY24.
Revenue for the quarter grew by 10.3% YoY to ₹642.8 crore from ₹583 crore, highlighting steady demand recovery. EBITDA rose 24.3% year-on-year, while EBITDA margins expanded to 30.7% from 27.2% a year ago, reflecting operational efficiency gains.
