Centrum Broking Report

On expected lines, the second wave impacted V-Mart Retail Ltd.’s performance in Q1 FY22.

Revenue grew 127.3%; yet Ebitda/adjusted profit after tax declined, with loss of Rs 20 million/Rs 287 million.

Management indicated that its core rural markets were impacted severely, with only 51% operational days.

June/July saw sharp rebound, drawing on better consumer sentiment, coupled with short wedding season, driving normal demand.

Gradual recovery in footfalls, with robust conversion rate at 70.7% drove transaction size by 2.9%.

To offset rising input prices, V-Mart took ~5% price increase.

Further, tighter cost controls held gross margins at ~31%; however, lower scale of operations with rising other expenditure and employee cost led to Ebitda loss.
