Vardhman Textiles Ltd. reported revenue of ₹2,505 cr for October to December 2025, +1.6% on the year and +1.8% on the quarter. Over the last four quarters revenue comes to ₹9,860 cr, +1.3% on the four before.
Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹284 cr, a margin of 11.3%, −136 bps on the year and −144 bps on the quarter. It is the narrowest margin of the last 8 quarters (range 11.3% to 15.1%). Operating costs grew +3.2%, faster than revenue at +1.6%, so operating profit grew less than sales.
Net profit was ₹168 cr, −20.8% on the year and −10.5% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹5.75. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax fell 27.8%, so 7 points of the headline growth came from outside the core business. The tax rate of 21% is in line with its recent average. Profit over the last four quarters totals ₹802 cr, −5.8% on the four before.
Retail growth comes from new stores and from sales at existing stores; the statements show the total, the filing shows how much each contributed. The quarterly statements do not carry same-store sales, stores added and revenue per square foot; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹27.69 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹526.50 trades at 19.0 times trailing earnings.
