Investment Rationale
After a challenging H1FY25, signs of demand recovery are visible. MBL’s topline grew 10.3% YoY to Rs 6.43 billion (in-line). However, sales density continued to normalize downward in Q4 (at ~Rs 19.4k vs ~ Rs 20.8k/sq. ft. in Q4FY24). The e-commerce business saw robust growth (up 45% YoY; contributing 11% to revenue). GM expanded 107bps YoY to 57.5% (HSIE: 56.2%). EBITDAM expanded 347bps YoY to 30.7% (HDFC Securities Estimate: 27.8%), driven by better cost optimization, reduction in FILA losses, and restructuring of FILA’s royalty agreement with FILA Global. FILA’s expansion is planned from H2FY26. HDFC Securities has cut the FY26/27 estimates by 6/4%, respectively, to account for lower other income. Their SELL rating stands with a DCF-based target price of Rs 925/share, implying 46x FY27E P/E. Promoter/FII Holdings
Promoters held 71.88 per cent stake in the company as of 31-Mar-2025, while FIIs owned 3.46 per cent, DIIs 7.36 per cent.
