What did Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands' management say?
Management said consumption remained steady despite a volatile operating environment, with growth momentum stronger in lower-tier markets. It said deferred festivities shifted occasion-led purchases to Q3 and regional nuances affected year-on-year comparability, while rising input prices, operating expenses, minimum wages, logistics costs and sourcing expenses increased cost inflation.
Management said, “Good Onam business heralds a strong festive season ahead,” and also reported a good start to Pujo. Retail like-for-like growth was 5.3%, wholesale and e-commerce delivered double-digit growth, and the company added 100+ stores in Q2 FY27 versus approximately 70 in Q1 FY27. Management identified volatile consumption, cost inflation, festive-calendar shifts and higher net debt as watch points.
