ICICI Securities Report

Avenue Supermarts Ltd.’s Q2 revenue performance was good despite restrictions (only limited though).

Gross margins recovered well (194 basis points QoQ and 25 bps YoY); we believe further recovery in general merchandising will likely benefit gross margins. Ebitda margin expansion was led by operating leverage.

In FY22 and beyond, we believe it could benefit from-

  1. the (consumer) relevance of for money positioning, which, in our view, may potentially be a stronger competitive advantage and

  2. price-led operating leverage (beneficiary of inflation).

Capex recovery and DMart Ready’s gradual expansion are also encouraging.
