Commenting on the result announcement, Mr. Vijay Bansal, CMD, Cantabil Retail India Ltd. said, “Cantabil delivered another quarter of resilient performance, underlining strong operating fundamentals despite challenging environment and considerable slowdown in discretionary spending. We have demonstrated notable resilience in these tough conditions by delivering a revenue growth of 12% in FY24. Improvement in average bill value as well as double digit volume growth demonstrates the trust in our brand. Cantabil will continue to manage business dynamically, ensuring long-term growth and sustainability. We remain committed to delivering exceptional consumer value and experience, strategically expanding our reach and product offerings, executing with excellence, and competitively investing in our brand and capabilities. We have further strengthened our balance sheet strength by raising ₹ 50.4 crores from marquee investors in Q4 FY24 which will help us to capitalise further on the growth opportunities. The Q1 FY25 so far has seen strong demand uptick despite lower wedding demand. We believe that the discretionary spending will further improve on expectation of a normal monsoon. Cantabil with its strong brand image and balance sheet strength will be among the key beneficiary of such a revival. Cantabil is well placed to leverage the next wave of growth in the segment by unlocking its various growth platforms.
On the expansion front, the Company accelerated its store expansion strategy by opening 86 stores during the year. We remain focused on pursuing our long-term strategic agenda by further expanding our reach with the aim of being ever more proximate and convenient to customers, reinforcing our brand promise, expansion into newer markets, diversification across various segments and categories, and ensuring an elevated shopping experience to our customers. We are also witnessing good acceptability of our products through online channels. The revenue from online channels have more than doubled in FY 24 and is likely to further improve going forward.
With a positive outlook on the growth prospects of both the Indian economy and the fashion apparel sector, we are determined to leverage our robust brand recall value to drive consistent, sustainable growth. We are confident that this business is well poised to shift gears and deliver substantial value to customers and shareholders going forward.”
