Raymond Realty Q1 results
The Mumbai-based firm's consolidated net profit for the first quarter of 2025-26 (Q1FY26) surged by 121.8 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹16.5 crore.
In its first quarterly earnings since demerger from Raymond Ltd on May 1, the company’s consolidated revenue for the quarter stood at ₹374.4 crore, up 188.7 per cent Y-o-Y.
However, on a like-for-like basis (post-demerger), the revenue dropped by 23 per cent Y-o-Y. Meanwhile, its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) stood at ₹41 crore, down by 39 per cent Y-o-Y.
"The main reason for Q1 (like-to-like performance) was that we had done a bumper Q3 and Q4 last year, and we were very low on inventory in Q1. The demand was very good, but we didn't have enough inventory to sell in Q1. We had to rush to get approvals and be ready for fresh launches," Harmohan Sahni, managing director (MD), Raymond Realty, said.
