Metro Brands reported Q4 FY26 standalone business growth of 20% with EBITDA growth of 20% and PAT growth of 18%. The company crossed the 1,000-store milestone with 1,032 stores and launched its first two FILA stores post-acquisition. Digital commerce grew 53% and now accounts for 12% of total revenues. Management guided for PAT in the mid-teen percentage range, EBITDA in the high 20s to low 30s, and sales growth of 15%. Input cost inflation of around 10% is being mitigated through forward buying and existing inventory. E-commerce is expected to be 12-15% of business in the near term. FILA repositioning is underway with management expecting meaningful contribution in 18 months. BIS certification challenges continue to impact Foot Locker expansion. Walkway format is being expanded into Tier-3/Tier-4 markets targeting the shift from unorganized to organized retail.
The company delivered results within guidance range despite input cost pressures, with strong e-commerce growth and store expansion momentum. BIS-related supply chain issues for Foot Locker remain a constraint, while FILA brand turnaround is expected to take about 18 months.
