Retail momentum, omni growth and store expansion stitch together strong FY26
MUMBAI: Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands Limited posted another quarter of double-digit growth, with its Q4 FY26 revenue rising 12 per cent year-on-year to Rs. 2,174 crore, driven by strong demand across lifestyle and emerging brands, omni-channel expansion and improved retail momentum.
The company’s normalized profit after tax for the quarter jumped 58 per cent to Rs. 60 crore, compared to Rs. 38 crore in the same period last year. Reported PAT stood at Rs. 55 crore, while normalized profit before tax rose 50 per cent to Rs. 78 crore.
For the full financial year FY26, revenue climbed 7 per cent to Rs. 8,396 crore from Rs. 7,830 crore a year earlier. EBITDA rose 13 per cent to Rs. 1,429 crore, while normalized PAT surged 61 per cent to Rs. 209 crore.
The company said the results include adjustments under Ind AS and exclude one-time exceptional impacts linked to the statutory implementation of the new labour code.
ABLBL’s lifestyle brands portfolio, which includes Louis Philippe, Van Heusen, Allen Solly, Peter England and Simon Carter, delivered quarterly revenue of Rs. 1,829 crore, up 11 per cent year-on-year. EBITDA for the segment came in at Rs. 366 crore, translating into a healthy margin of 20 per cent.
The company’s emerging business portfolio, comprising American Eagle, Reebok and the Van Heusen innerwear business, continued its growth run with revenue rising 18 per cent year-on-year during the quarter.
Retail like-to-like growth across the network stood at 6 per cent, while the emerging brands portfolio posted a stronger 16 per cent retail LTL growth in Q4. E-commerce and departmental store channels also recorded double-digit growth, adding further fuel to the company’s expansion story.
ABLBL continued to sharpen its omni-channel play during the year, with nearly 50 per cent of its retail network now omni-enabled. The company also renovated more than 175 lifestyle stores in FY26 to improve customer experience and increase in-store engagement.
Expansion remained a key growth lever. During FY26, the company added more than 300 gross stores and over 90 net new stores, taking its total footprint to 3,348 stores spread across nearly 4.9 million square feet. The emerging business portfolio alone now operates through more than 390 stores, including over 15 new outlets added during the quarter.
Margins also stitched together a stronger performance. EBITDA margin for Q4 stood at 17.2 per cent, while full-year EBITDA margin expanded by around 80 basis points to 17 per cent. The emerging brands business saw margin expansion of 420 basis points compared to last year.
The company also improved its balance sheet position, with net debt reducing to Rs. 726 crore from Rs. 781 crore a year ago.
ABLBL said it remains focused on store expansion, faster replenishment cycles, technology-led execution and product innovation as it looks to sustain growth momentum in a competitive retail market. With regional demand strengthening and fashion retail steadily finding its stride again, the company appears keen to keep its growth story well tailored for the year ahead.
