Raymond Lifestyle Limited Delivers a Healthy Quarterly Performance

MUMBAI:
Raymond Lifestyle Limited today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended 30th September 2025.

Raymond Lifestyle Limited has delivered a good Q2 performance, with a Y-o-Y growth of 8% and a Total Income of ₹ 1,865 Cr. This strong result was primarily fuelled by an acceleration in domestic demand and consumption across India, which translated into significant volume growth within our core Branded Textile & Branded Apparel segments. Our EBITDA of ₹259 crore, at a margin of 13.9%, was achieved despite consciously increasing advertising expenditure, a calibrated investment to strengthen long-term brand equity and consumer engagement. This growth in EBITDA reflects not only the higher sales volume generated by the resilient Indian consumer but also the benefit of an improved product mix, scale benefit and better operating leverage combined with selective pruning of under-performing stores. We are successfully capitalizing on the buoyant consumer sentiment in the home market.

However, the growth in Domestic consumption and our sales was partly offsetted, as our international business, particularly the garmenting and B2B export segments, faced considerable headwinds. The imposition of steep US tariffs significantly impacted our global competitiveness, leading to order deferrals and margin pressure from key overseas buyers. Despite this external challenge, the powerful rebound in domestic consumption fully cushioned the impact, allowing us to post positive overall growth.

Commenting on the performance, Gautam Hari Singhania, Executive Chairman of Raymond Lifestyle Limited said; “Our quarterly performance reflects encouraging momentum driven by a strong domestic demand across core lifestyle categories. Even as we navigate global macroeconomic headwinds, we remain focused on agility and strategic foresight—closely tracking opportunities from the UK-India Free Trade Agreement and potential risks from US tariff changes. This disciplined approach ensures we continue creating enduring value for all stakeholders.”
