Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd (ABFRL) reported a sharp reduction in its net loss for the fourth quarter ended March 2025, reflecting improved operational performance and rising consumer demand. The company posted a consolidated net loss of ₹23.55 crore, a significant improvement from the ₹266.36 crore loss reported in the same quarter last year.
Revenue from operations rose 9.2% year-on-year to ₹1,719.48 crore, up from ₹1,575.12 crore in the January–March quarter of FY24, according to a regulatory filing released on Friday. Total expenses for the quarter stood at ₹1,959.53 crore.
ABFRL noted that its Q4 results are not directly comparable with the previous year due to the demerger of its Madura Fashion & Lifestyle (MFL) business. Following the demerger, assets and liabilities related to MFL were transferred to the resulting company, affecting balance sheet comparability.
During the quarter, revenue from the company’s Pantaloons segment stood at ₹884.60 crore, while revenue from its Ethnic and other segments came in at ₹846.99 crore, reflecting strong consumer traction across its diversified retail portfolio.
For the full financial year FY25, ABFRL reported a net loss of ₹455.82 crore, with total revenue from operations reaching ₹7,354.73 crore.
Despite the narrowing quarterly losses, shares of ABFRL ended lower on Friday, declining 1.50% to close at ₹88.50 on the BSE.
ABFRL, part of the Aditya Birla Group, operates a broad mix of fashion brands and retail formats including Pantaloons, Allen Solly, Van Heusen, and a growing ethnic wear portfolio. The company continues to focus on brand expansion, cost optimization, and retail network growth to improve profitability in the coming quarters.
