Monte Carlo Fashions filed the transcript of its Q1 FY26 earnings call held on August 7, 2025. Q1 revenue grew ~10% YoY to INR 139 crores, but the company posted an EBITDA loss of INR 6 crores and a net loss of INR 16 crores, which management attributed to seasonal sales returns typical of Q1. Footwear sales doubled YoY, and the online segment remained a strong growth driver. The company plans to open 40-45 Monte Carlo stores in FY26 with a focus on Western and Southern regions, and targets 35 Cloak & Decker stores by year-end. Management hinted that its earlier guidance of 10-11% revenue growth and 19% margins may be revised upward after Q2, citing strong order book, good monsoon, early Diwali, and a positive rural demand outlook. The company remains debt-free with INR 300 crores in cash.
Despite a weak Q1 with losses, management's optimistic tone on demand recovery, store expansion, and potential upward revision of guidance could be viewed positively by investors. The strong cash position and debt-free status provide a cushion, but near-term profitability remains a concern as Q1 is seasonally weak.
