Covid-led disruptions in January-February and one-off expenses (~Rs. 21 crore) led to a subdued performance in Q4FY22. The revenue recovery rate declined to 90% in Q4FY22 vs. 96% in Q3FY22.
- On a favourable base, revenue grew 6% YoY to Rs. 709.9 crore
- Increase in operating costs (owing to higher store additions) and one-off expenses (Rs. 21 crore) led EBITDA margins to decline 343 bps YoY to 10.8% with absolute EBITDA declining 20% YoY to Rs. 76.7 crore
- PBT losses were at Rs. 49 crore vs. Rs. 37.2 crore in Q4FY21
