Revenue from operations rose 3.65% QoQ to Rs 651.14 crore in Q2 FY26 and increased 11.22% YoY from Rs 585 crore a year ago.
Profit before tax (PBT) came in at Rs 91.12 crore in Q2 FY26, falling 30.35% sequentially from Rs 130.82 crore and down 3.32% YoY from Rs 94.25 crore in Q2 FY25.
EBITDA (approximated by operating profit before depreciation and finance cost) stood at Rs 171 crore in Q2 FY26, up 10.1% compared to Rs 155 crore in Q2 FY25. EBITDA margin was around 26.2% versus 26.5% in Q2 FY25.
Total expenditure increased 14.25% YoY to Rs 588.26 crore from Rs 514.87 crore. Employee expenses rose 10.91% YoY to Rs 66.18 crore, while finance costs increased 34.92% YoY to Rs 29.44 crore. Depreciation was at Rs 78.40 crore, up 25.60% YoY.
The company said that the Q2 FY26 recorded stable growth primarily driven by early onset of festive period v/s last year. However, overall demand in Q2 was slightly impacted by the prolonged monsoon spell and sluggish consumer footfalls following the GST rate reduction announcement, as consumers awaited price cuts.
During the quarter, 42 new stores were opened. This was offset by 4 stores closures for the quarter. Ecommerce sales (including omni-channel) grew by 39%, contributing to 14.2% of the revenue (compared to 11.4% in Q2 FY25).
Nissan Joseph, CEO, Metro Brands, said: Q2 delivered a continued growth performance, and I was pleased to see that we were able to maintain this trajectory while improving our Gross Margins and EBITDA growth in line with the sales improvement. We stayed focused on enhancing customer experience across channels and continued to build momentum through our store expansion and digital investments. The launch of Clarks Cloudsteppers across 200 Metro and Mochi stores, along with 42 new store openings- including Foot Locker and New Era, further strengthened our portfolio.
Metro Brands is one of the largest Indian footwear specialty retailers. Metro Brands retails footwear under its own brands of Metro, Mochi, Walkway, Da Vinchi and J. Fontini, as well as certain third‐party brands such as Crocs, Fitflop, Fila, Clarks, Skechers, Puma and Adidas which complement its in‐house brands.

Valued Customer,
BOB Capital Markets Limited (BOBCaps) is firmly committed to the safety of your wealth. We would like to bring to your notice certain precautions that you certainly must take against potential tele-fraudsters/ unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers:
ALWAYS AVOID
We would like to caution you against such fraudulent calls and SMSes and urge you to be alert. Follow the golden rule:
Do not share your Login Credentials or Passwords with anybody
BOBCaps employees / representatives never ask for your password.
Certain tele-fraudsters / unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers call customers or SMS them on the pretext of providing investment tips and lure them to invest through their bogus firms by promising huge profits.
Such deceitful callers ask the customer to share his/her login credentials with passwords to allow trading in their accounts, assuring huge returns.
Often trades done in the customer’s accounts are far from the best interest of the customers. Holdings of customers are often sold and with the funds, trades are then placed in illiquid securities at unrealistic prices.
At times, the holdings of customers are sold at prices detrimental to the customer. The so-called “portfolio manager” assures profits, which naturally does not materialize. Customers are deceived into providing access to their trading accounts, thereby allowing such fraudsters access to funds and securities available to execute trades, injurious to the customer’s interest.
In our continuous effort to keep you safeguard from the market related frauds and increase awareness while conducting trades, we request you to go through the Press Release issued by the NSE and would request you to ensure that you do not engage with the individuals and entities mentioned below:
