Financial Performance and Margin Expansion
V2 Retail's financial trajectory in Q4 FY26 was defined by explosive top-line growth and substantial margin improvement. Operating revenue for the quarter reached ₹797.02 crore, a 60% YoY increase that significantly outpaced general market trends. EBITDA grew by 89%, supported by a 210-basis point expansion in margins as the company leveraged its increasing scale.
Full-year revenue growth was similarly robust at 63%, totaling ₹3,067.05 crore. The company achieved a record annual net profit of ₹162.06 crore, representing a 125% increase over FY25. This performance was underpinned by high full-price sales, which contributed 90% to the annual revenue mix, and a 47% increase in total volume for the year.
Management Outlook and Footprint Expansion
The leadership team has outlined an aggressive expansion strategy for the next two fiscal years, targeting a revenue CAGR of over 50%. Following the addition of 136 stores in FY26, V2 Retail plans to accelerate this pace, aiming to open between 170 and 200 new stores in FY27. Management highlighted that the value-fashion segment in India remains largely underserved, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
To support this growth, the company is deepening its investments in technology and supply chain responsiveness. The expansion is expected to be funded primarily through internal accruals, supported by a healthy debt-to-equity ratio and improved operational efficiency across the maturing store network.
Sector Dynamics and Customer Retention
The department store and value fashion sector in India is experiencing a shift toward organized retail, where V2 Retail has positioned itself with a database of 8 crore customers. Despite intense competition, the company maintains strong demand visibility across its three main segments: Men's wear (41%), Women's wear (27%), and Kids' wear (25%). While raw material costs like yarn have shown volatility, the company plans to pass on a modest 3-4% price hike to maintain gross margins at roughly 30%.
Inventory management remains a priority, with current levels at 90-100 days. Management noted that recent geopolitical safety stock increases will be normalized as supply chain conditions stabilize.
What to Watch
- Store maturity timelines: New stores currently start at approximately 70% of mature store revenue per square foot
- Inventory normalization: Expected reduction in safety stocks once global supply chain tensions subside
- Impact of 170-200 new store openings on near-term operating leverage and working capital
- Implementation of the new labor code and its long-term impact on operational cost structures
