I now hand the conference over to Mr. Kamal Khushlani, Managing Director. Thank you, and
over to you, Mr. Khushlani.
Kamal Khushlani: Thank you, Anushka. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. I have with me
Mr. Rasik Mittal, our Chief Financial Officer; and SGA, our Investor Relations Advisors. I hope
you all have received the investor deck. If not, it is available on the stock exchanges and our
company website. Before we get into the numbers, I would like to briefly talk about where Muti
stands today.
FY26 was a year of resilience and focused execution. In Q1 FY27, we continued to advance
Mufti 2.0 with a focus on premiumizing the brand, elevating the customer experience across our
stores and strengthening Mufti's influence as the aspirations of the Indian consumers continue
to evolve. Coming to the operating environment, we saw healthy consumer interest through
April and part of May which moderated towards the mid of May.
As indicated earlier, we continue to remain measured about near-term demand. The broader
global environment also remains uncertain with geopolitical tensions likely to keep consumers
cautious and selective in their discretionary spending. At the same time, we remain confident
about the long-term opportunity.
India's growing aspirations and the evolution of casual lifestyle segment provides significant
headroom, and we believe Mufti is well positioned to participate meaningfully in this
opportunity. Coming to our performance, Q1 FY27 revenue grew by 5% year-on-year to
approximately INR125 crores, reflecting steady performance despite continued softness in
discretionary spending.
As part of our retail transformation strategy, we opened 5 new stores across leading malls and
high streets while closing 7 underperforming stores, taking our total store count to 427. Our
focus is on improving the quality and productivity of our network by progressively replacing
lower productivity locations with stronger experience-led stores, thereby improving output per
store while enhancing customer experience and brand salience.
Gross profit grew 5% year-on-year to INR77 crores with gross margin at 62%. EBITDA stood
at INR27 crores approximately compared to about INR31 crores in the same period last year,
primarily due to higher investments in advertising, brand building and retail transformation.

Marketing investment during the quarter was approximately 8.5% of revenue, which is in line
with our full year guidance of 8% to 10% through FY27.
We see this as an important investment in building Mufti's long-term salience and aspiration. A
growing proportion is being directed towards digital platforms such as Google and Meta to
strengthen visibility, understand consumer behaviour and support engagement across online and
offline channels, particularly among new consumers.
Alongside this, we continue to build our D2C business, bringing us closer to our consumers and
their evolving preferences. Our long-term Mufti 2.0 transformation remains firmly on track. We
will continue to elevate our retail experience, strengthen our merchandise offering and invest
behind the brand.
These initiatives are aimed at deepening consumer engagement, improving footfalls and
conversion and progressively rekindling growth. Our ambition remains clear to build Mufti into
one of India's most loved and enduring homegrown menswear brands, growing in a disciplined,
profitable and sustainable manner.
While near-term demand visibility may remain uneven, we believe Mufti 2.0 is building a
stronger foundation for the brand's next phase of growth. With that, I'll hand over to our CFO,
Mr. Rasik Mittal, for the detailed financial performance for the quarter.
Rasik Mittal: Thank you, Kamal. Good afternoon, everyone. I will give you financial highlights for Q1 FY27.
Revenue for the quarter stood at INR125.3 crores. Gross profit stood at INR77.2 crores with a
GP margin of 61.6% for the quarter. EBITDA stood at INR26.6 crores. Our EBITDA margin
stood at 21.2%. Profit after tax for the quarter stood at INR2.3 crores. Our PAT margin stood at
1.8% for the quarter. With this, we will now open the floor for question and answer. Thank you.
Moderator: We will now begin the question-and-answer session. We take the first question from the line of
Sakshi Pratap from Pratap Securities. Please proceed.
Sakshi Pratap: Thanks for the question. Are you seeing any early signs of improvement in discretionary
consumption? Or is it just the current environment still largely dependent on the festive season
was my first question.
Kamal Khushlani: Sakshi, hi. We certainly see some positive signals from the renovated new stores and the new
retail identity that we have created in the new stores. But it's a little too early to be able to
extrapolate them and put any kind of projections on this. We would refrain from doing that. But
as of now, certainly, we are seeing positive signals, and we will continue to make these changes
to our stores, renovate our stores and open new stores and shut some of the underperforming
stores.
Sakshi Pratap: Understood, sir. Sir, my second question would be what would be the key milestones over the
next 12 to 18 months that we can see and say that MUFTI 2.0 is working successfully?
Kamal Khushlani: Like I said, Sakshi, this is going to be a long-drawn process. The environment is changing. The
competition is intense. And at this point, we are going through a transformation phase, and it
