The apparel retailer reports double-digit growth in profit and revenue, with direct channels contributing 62 per cent of sales despite inflationary pressures linked to the West Asia conflict
Arvind Fashions on Tuesday reported an 11 per cent year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 27.61 crore for the quarter ended 30 June 2026, driven by higher revenue and sustained momentum in its direct-to-consumer business. The company posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 27.61 crore in the first quarter of FY27, compared with Rs 24.86 crore in the corresponding period last year, according to a regulatory filing.
Revenue from operations increased to Rs 1,278.5 crore during the April-June quarter from Rs 1,107.31 crore in the year-ago period. Total expenses also rose to Rs 1,245.48 crore, compared with Rs 1,083.02 crore in the same quarter of the previous financial year.
Direct Channels Drive Growth
Arvind Fashions said its continued focus on expanding direct channels helped deliver strong operational performance during the quarter. Like-to-like sales across these channels grew 11.6 per cent, while online business-to-consumer (B2C) revenue surged 38 per cent year on year. Direct channels accounted for 62 per cent of the company’s total revenue in the quarter.
“This performance is particularly noteworthy given the inflationary environment shaped by the West Asia conflict, higher petroleum prices, elevated forex rates and minimum wage increases across several states, and reflects the resilience of our brand portfolio and the discipline of our operating model,” said Amisha Jain, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Arvind Fashions.
“Our focus remains on accelerating profitable growth across our marquee brands, deepening consumer engagement through increased brand investments, and increasing the share of our direct channels,” Jain added.
Focus On Retail Expansion
The company said it will continue to prioritise profitable growth across its retail and business-to-consumer channels while closely monitoring the impact of the ongoing conflict in West Asia on its operating environment.
The results underscore the company’s strategy of strengthening owned retail and digital channels, even as businesses continue to navigate cost pressures arising from higher fuel prices, foreign exchange volatility and wage inflation.
