Garment Mantra Lifestyle reported a consolidated net profit of ₹2.79 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), rising 13% year-on-year from ₹2.47 crore. Revenue from operations jumped 67% to ₹61.97 crore, driven by robust domestic demand and an expanding export order book. Crucially, the company turned its EBITDA positive at ₹4.39 crore, reversing a loss of ₹5.79 crore in the previous quarter, signaling improved operational efficiency alongside top-line growth.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results on July 28, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30(2) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Statutory Auditors Balaji & Thulasiraman issued an unmodified limited review report. The Board also appointed Mr. B. Venkateswar as the Cost Auditor for the financial year 2026-27.

Financial Performance

Consolidated other income rose sharply to ₹4.97 crore from ₹0.76 crore in Q1FY26, contributing to total income of ₹66.94 crore. Total expenses stood at ₹63.37 crore, compared to ₹36.53 crore in the prior year’s quarter. Profit before tax reached ₹3.58 crore against ₹3.34 crore in Q1FY26. The quarterly earnings per share (EPS) stood at ₹0.05, compared to a loss of ₹0.12 in Q4FY26.

Standalone net profit was ₹1.03 crore, down from ₹2.01 crore in Q1FY26, primarily due to lower other income and higher material costs. Standalone revenue declined 5% to ₹20.13 crore from ₹21.18 crore in the prior year period.

Order Book and Outlook

As of the reporting date, the consolidated unexecuted order book stood at approximately ₹35 crore, with more than ₹30 comprising confirmed export orders. Management attributed the strong start to FY27 to extended summer demand across India, which boosted off-take in domestic distribution channels. Geopolitical shifts are also accelerating global supply chain diversification toward India, benefiting the company’s export business.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between standalone and consolidated performance highlights subsidiary contribution. While standalone operations faced margin pressure with revenue declining 5%, consolidated revenue surged 67%, driven by subsidiaries Hylex Fashions Private Limited and Twenty Twenty Trading LLP. These entities contributed ₹1.76 crore in net profit after tax for the quarter. Additionally, the sharp QoQ turnaround in EBITDA—from a ₹5.79 crore loss to a ₹4.39 crore profit—suggests significant operational improvements or favorable product mix shifts in the current quarter, distinct from the prior period’s challenges.
