Profit before other income, one-offs and tax grew faster, at −6.9%; other income, one-offs or tax held the headline back. The tax rate was 13% against an average of 24% over the previous 8 quarters, which lifted profit this quarter. Profit over the last four quarters totals ₹753 cr, −15.1% 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 ₹25.87 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹526.50 trades at 20.4 times trailing earnings.
