The company opened 21 new stores during the period, while nine stores were closed, as it continued to expand its retail network.
Metro Brands said the quarter also saw continued investments in talent and brand-building, alongside higher employee costs following minimum wage revisions.
Company Focuses On Festive Demand
Nissan Joseph, CEO of Metro Brands, said the company delivered double-digit growth despite the shift in festive-season sales into the subsequent quarter.
He added that Ebitda growth outpaced revenue growth, reflecting the company’s focus on operational execution and margin management.
As the company enters the key festive period, it remains focused on strengthening its brand portfolio, expanding its retail presence and investing in capabilities to support long-term growth.
