Arvind Fashions Ltd.’s decision to exit four brands from its portfolio has hurt the company’s results in the quarter ended June, according to Executive Director Kulin Lalbhai.
There was a one-time write off worth Rs 68 crore as the company discontinued four brands and that led to a loss in the first quarter, Lalbhai told BloombergQuint in an interview. The company also made a “one-time correction” in its distribution channel, which is a “large impact”, he said.
Lalbhai, however, expects the company’s trade channel to normalise by the second half of the year.
