Synopsis

Raymond Lifestyle reported a two-fold rise in consolidated net profit to INR 75.19 crore for the September quarter, up from INR 42.18 crore a year earlier, driven by strong domestic demand in its textile and apparel segments. Revenue rose 7.26% to INR 1,832.4 crore, while EBITDA stood at INR 259 crore with a 13.9% margin, despite higher advertising spends. The textile segment grew 10% to INR 937 crore, and branded apparel revenue rose 11% to INR 491 crore. Global operations faced headwinds from U.S. tariffs on Indian exports, but local growth offset the impact. With 1,663 stores nationwide and continued retail expansion, Raymond Lifestyle remains well-positioned to sustain its market leadership in fashion and lifestyle retail.

Raymond Lifestyle reported a two-fold rise in consolidated net profit to INR 75.19 crore during the September quarter, supported by strong volume growth across its branded textile and branded apparel segments. In the corresponding quarter of the previous year, the company had reported a net profit of INR 42.18 crore, according to a recent regulatory filing.


Revenue from operations increased by 7.26 per cent to INR 1,832.4 crore in the latest quarter, compared to INR 1,708.26 crore in the same period last year. The company mentioned in its earnings statement that the strong performance was largely fuelled by an upsurge in domestic demand and consumption across India, which drove notable volume growth in its core lifestyle categories.

The firm's EBITDA stood at INR 259 crore, reflecting a margin of 13.9 per cent. This was achieved despite an intentional rise in advertising expenditure and targeted investments aimed at reinforcing long-term brand equity. Total expenses of the Singhania family-promoted firm rose by 8.13 per cent to INR 1,757.82 crore during the quarter, while total income, including other income, reached INR 1,865.4 crore.

However, the company's international business, particularly in garmenting and B2B export segments, encountered headwinds owing to steep tariffs imposed by the United States on Indian products. Raymond stated that these tariffs affected global competitiveness, causing order deferrals and margin pressures from key overseas buyers. Nevertheless, the strong rebound in domestic consumption helped cushion the overall impact, resulting in positive growth.

Executive Chairman Gautam Hari Singhania noted that the company's quarterly results reflected positive momentum fuelled by firm domestic demand across lifestyle categories. He added that despite global macroeconomic challenges, Raymond remained focused on strategic foresight, closely monitoring opportunities from the UK-India Free Trade Agreement and potential risks linked to US trade policies.

During the quarter, revenue from the textile segment rose by 10 per cent to INR 937 crore, driven by higher volumes, an increase in wedding-related purchases, and greater consumer engagement. Revenue from the branded apparel segment also climbed by 11 per cent to INR 491 crore, with growth recorded across all brands and key channels such as large format stores, exclusive brand outlets, multi-brand outlets, and online platforms.

The garment segment posted revenue of INR 269.28 crore in the quarter. The company, which was demerged from its parent entity Raymond Ltd and listed on the stock exchanges in September last year, owns brands such as Park Avenue, ColorPlus, Parx, Raymond Made to Measure, Raymond Ready to Wear, Sleepz by Raymond, and Ethnix by Raymond.

As of the end of September 2025, Raymond Lifestyle operated 1,663 stores, up from 1,592 stores a year earlier. The company stated that recently opened stores would take some time to achieve full maturity and that it continued to optimise its retail network to align with long-term growth and profitability goals.

Shares of Raymond Lifestyle closed at INR 1,218.7 apiece on BSE, marking a 1.32 per cent increase over the previous close.

Raymond Lifestyle's quarterly results underscored the company's resilience amid global trade challenges and its ability to leverage domestic consumption growth. While international markets remained subdued due to tariff-related pressures, the strong performance in India's textile and apparel segments ensured sustained profitability. With its expanding retail presence and strategic focus on both domestic and global opportunities, the company remains well-positioned to strengthen its market leadership in the lifestyle and fashion segments.
