Baazar Style Retail Limited shared the transcript of its Q4 and FY25 earnings call held on May 15, 2025. The company posted record revenue of Rs. 1,344 crores in FY25, up 38% year-on-year, beating its own revised guidance of 30%. It added 52 new stores (versus an initial target of 35-40) to reach a total of 214 stores, with a strong 13% same-store sales growth. Pre-IndAS EBITDA grew 31% to Rs. 94.4 crores at a 7.2% margin, while adjusted PAT rose 35% to Rs. 39.75 crores. For FY26, management guided 20-25% revenue growth, 7-8% SSSG, and 7-8% pre-IndAS EBITDA margin, with 40-50 new store additions. CFO outlined a debt reduction roadmap cutting bank borrowings from Rs. 122 crores to Rs. 80 crores, partly funded by a pending Rs. 47 crore insurance claim from a May 2024 fire incident. The company also disclosed an Rs. 10.66 crore GST demand under legal challenge and a Murshidabad store vandalism causing roughly Rs. 40 lakhs in losses.
Overall positive for shareholders - the company beat its FY25 guidance on all key metrics and continues to demonstrate strong growth in the underpenetrated value fashion segment of Eastern India. The FY26 guidance appears conservative given the consistent track record of beating targets, which could support the stock. However, the pending insurance recovery, GST litigation, and recent store incident create some near-term uncertainty, while the debt reduction plan signals balance sheet discipline.
