Bella Casa Reports 66% Revenue Growth, Eyes Long-Term Expansion

Bella Casa Fashion & Retail Ltd has announced its financial results for the second quarter (Q2) and first half (H1) of FY25, highlighting substantial growth in revenue and profitability.

The company reported revenue of Rs 107 crore in Q2 FY25, marking a 66% growth compared to the same period last year. Operating profit surged by 82% to Rs 8.9 crore, while profit after tax (PAT) rose by 78% to Rs 4.6 crore. The company’s operating margin expanded to 8.3%, reflecting improved operational efficiency and cost management.

The company has sustained over 50% sales growth for three consecutive quarters, with a 95% volume growth reported in H1 FY25. It is progressing toward an annualized production run rate of 1.4 crore pieces. Working capital efficiency has also improved, with working capital days reduced from 179 to 140 and inventory days cut down from 162 to 105.

Additionally, Bella Casa achieved enhanced return metrics, with its annualized Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) nearing 20%. However, the company observed an increase in debtor levels, attributing it to recent sales activity in its rapidly expanding market.

With favourable industry trends shaping the market landscape, Bella Casa is positioned to benefit from the ongoing growth in India’s fashion and lifestyle sectors. Key drivers include increased capital expenditures by major retailers, new store openings, rising disposable incomes among Gen Z consumers and robust festive sales.

Saurav Gupta, Director of Bella Casa Fashion & Retail Ltd, emphasized the company’s commitment to long-term growth. “Our investments are not just about scaling up, but setting a foundation for sustained, long-term growth,” he said.

Gupta highlighted the company’s focus on sustainable operations, including the use of recycled raw materials, modernization of machinery, production digitization and waste reduction. “We are working to reduce lead times and align with the latest market trends efficiently. Each strategic step aims to solidify our leadership in fashion and lifestyle manufacturing while generating superior returns on capital over the long haul,” Gupta added.
