From Metro Brands's Q1 FY27 earnings-call transcript · updated 25 Aug 2026.

Revenue & Sales Performance

Rank 3

Metro Brands expects mid-teen to high-teen PAT growth to return as marketing investments normalize and new stores start performing better (Page 16).
Sales growth is driven by multiple brands, including premium banners like Metro Mochi, Foot Locker, FILA, Clarks, and FitFlop, with premiumization expected to continue growing (Page 18).
Online/e-commerce business is expected to grow at a healthy 20%-30% CAGR, though not at previous 40%-50% rates to maintain brand value without resorting to heavy discounting (Page 16).
Marketing spends increased last year to build brand funnel but are expected to stabilize as sales rise, leading to lower marketing spend as a percentage of sales (Page 18).
Store expansion, including new formats like Walkway, is poised to contribute positively, provided they achieve ROCE of 25%-30% (Page 14).
Revenue per square foot has remained consistent despite new store openings, supporting steady growth (Page 4).

Profitability & Margins

Management targets PAT margins in the range of 13% to 15% for FY '27 and beyond.
E-commerce growth is expected to continue healthily at around 20% to 30%, moderating from earlier 40-50% growth but well above single digits.

The company aims to maintain gross margins around 55%-57% and EBITDA margins around 30%.
Walkway format stores, despite lower margins, are expected to generate ROCEs of 25%-30% over the medium to long term, contributing positively.
