Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Vishal Mega Mart Limited posted consolidated revenue from operations of ₹3,398.53 crore for Q2 FY27, marking a 14.0% increase compared to ₹2,981.49 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year.
Profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter reached ₹157.88 crore, representing a 3.7% growth over the ₹152.31 crore reported in Q2 FY26, achieved despite inflationary headwinds and festive calendar shifts.
A notable operational factor during the quarter was an 18-day shift in the festive calendar, which moved major festive demand periods such as Puja and Dussehra out of Q2 and into Q3.
Management noted that this festive timing variance exerted an estimated 3% to 4% drag on same-store sales growth (SSSG) for the quarter, dampening fixed-cost absorption and compressing operating margins temporarily.
Reported EBITDA stood at ₹412.0 crore with an EBITDA margin of 12.1%, compared to ₹394.6 crore (13.2% margin) in the same quarter last year.
Operating EBITDA, measured pre-Ind AS 116 and pre-ESOP charges, came in at ₹262.2 crore compared to ₹252.9 crore a year ago, reflecting a margin of 7.7% against 8.5% previously.
The store footprint expanded through the addition of 26 gross new stores during the quarter, bringing the net addition to 25 stores and closing the period with 844 total operational locations.
