ABLBL demonstrates significant profitability enhancement in Q3, FY26
05 February 2026, Mumbai
Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands (ABLBL) has demonstrated a significant enhancement in profitability in Q3, FY26, with normalized net profit rising by 66 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 100 crore. This robust bottom-line performance was underpinned by a 10 per cent increase in consolidated revenue, which reached Rs 2,343 crore. Despite a cooling in broader urban consumption, the company successfully expanded its EBITDA margins by 180 basis points to 18.4 per cent. Management attributed this resilience to improved store productivity and a disciplined reduction in logistics and overhead costs. While a Rs 41 crore exceptional charge was recorded due to the statutory implementation of the 2026 Labor Codes, the underlying business strength remains evident across its diversified multi-brand architecture.
Lifestyle and emerging portfolios outpace market averages
Comprising heavyweights like Louis Philippe and Van Heusen, the core Lifestyle segment - contributed Rs 2,002 crore to the topline, maintaining a healthy 9 per cent growth rate. However, the most significant margin expansion originated from the ‘Emerging Business’ portfolio, including Reebok and American Eagle, where EBITDA margins widened by 790 basis points. ABLBL accelerated its physical footprint during the quarter by commissioning over 90 new stores, bringing its total network to 3,315 outlets. Analysts observe, the brand's strategic focus on ‘casualization’ and younger demographics has allowed it to maintain a 6 per cent retail like-to-like growth rate for the sixth consecutive quarter, effectively hedging against the sector-wide slowdown in formal wear.
Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands is the premium fashion division of the Aditya Birla Group, managing iconic labels like Allen Solly and Peter England alongside international partners like Reebok. Born from the 2025 strategic demerger of ABFRL, the company focuses on high-margin lifestyle segments and rapid omnichannel expansion. It currently operates over 3,300 stores across 4.8 million square feet, aiming for a 3x revenue scale-up by 2030 through aggressive Tier-II market penetration.
