Metro Brands reported a 39% drop in profit for the fourth quarter of financial year 2025, earning ₹95 crore, compared to the same period last year. This fall comes even though the company’s revenue grew by 10%.
However, there were some positives. The company’s EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) increased by 24.5%, reaching ₹199 crore, up from ₹160 crore last year. The EBITDA margin also improved to 31%, which is 3.6% higher than the previous year, mainly due to better cost management and changes in its Fila business.
Metro’s profit before tax rose 20% to ₹126 crore. But due to higher tax expenses this year (₹31 crore compared to a tax benefit of ₹51 crore last year), the final profit dropped.
Store Expansion & Online Growth
Sales momentum from the festive and wedding season continued into Q4. The company opened 18 new stores but closed 5, bringing its total to 908 stores in 205 cities as of March 31, 2025. Online and omni-channel sales also grew sharply—up 45% YoY to ₹61 crore in Q4.
FY25 Summary
For the full financial year 2025:
- Net profit dropped 14.7% to ₹354 crore.
- Revenue rose 6.4% to ₹2,507 crore.
CEO Nissan Joseph said that despite challenges like fewer weddings, low election-related spending, and extreme weather earlier in the year, the company bounced back in the second half.
He also proudly announced that Metro Brands crossed the milestone of opening its 900th store in March 2025.
