Anand Rathi's research report on V Mart Retail

V-Mart’s Q4 profitability improved, with a 272bps y/y higher EBITDA margin at 8.7% (~90bps above ARe), driven by lower Limeroad losses and better offline margins. FY25 sales/EBITDA grew ~17%/77% y/y, led by 11% SSSG. The focus is on enhancing product quality and designs, accelerating digital transformation and store network optimization/renovation to improve consumer experience. Apparel ASP declined a tad in FY25 due to the lower winter product sales mix. Benefiting from strategic store closures and product improvement, sales per sq.ft. for V-Mart/Unlimited grew ~11% y/y to Rs742/575.
