Ebitda grows 7.7 per cent to Rs 165.6 crore, but margins ease
Monte Carlo Fashions reported a steady third-quarter performance, with revenue rising 11 per cent year-on-year from Rs 548.8 crore last year to Rs 608.4 crore this year quater which ended on 31 December 2025. While the net profit increased 12 per cent to Rs 106.8 crore, compared with Rs 96.7 crore a year ago supported by robust demand during the peak winter season.
Profit before tax came in at Rs 142.0 crore versus Rs 130.1 crore in Q3 FY25. Whereas the total income for the quarter stood at Rs 616.9 crore compared with Rs 554.7 crore a year earlier supported by stronger sales across its core winterwear portfolio during the peak season.
At the operating level, Ebitda rose 7.7 per cent to Rs 165.6 crore compared with Rs 153.7 crore in the year-ago period. However, margins saw a slight moderation, with Ebitda margin coming in at 27.2 per cent versus 28 per cent last year. The decline suggests some pressure from input and operating costs even as overall earnings improved.
Earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter increased to Rs 51.61 (not annualised), up from Rs 46.66 in the same period last year.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the company reported total income of Rs 1,023.8 crore, compared with Rs 916.8 crore in the corresponding period of the previous financial year. Net profit for the nine-month period rose to Rs 107.0 crore from Rs 91.5 crore a year earlier.
