Raymond Lifestyle slips into loss of Rs 45 crore in Q4 FY25
New Delhi: Raymond Lifestyle Ltd, on Monday, has reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 45 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025, hurt by muted demand and higher expenses. This compares to a profit of Rs 236 crore in the same period last year, which included a one-time gain from its discontinued FMCG operations, as per a regulatory filing.
The company stated that its Q4 performance was impacted by high inflation, subdued consumer demand, and a ransomware attack that disrupted operations, resulting in temporary system outages and supply chain delays.
The company's consolidated revenue from operations for Q4 stood at Rs 1,494 crore, down 11 per cent from Rs 1,685 crore in the year-ago quarter. For the full financial year FY25, revenue slipped to Rs 6,177 crore from Rs 6,535 crore in FY24.
For the full year, Raymond Lifestyle posted total income of Rs 6,360 crore, with EBITDA at Rs 651 crore and a 10.2 per cent margin, down from the previous year. Prolonged heatwaves, the general elections, and fewer wedding dates were cited as macro headwinds impacting sales across channels.
'Despite the challenges, we opened 170 new stores in FY25, taking our retail footprint to 1,688 stores, including 152 Ethnix outlets. We are optimistic about FY26 as early signs of demand recovery are visible in April,' said Gautam Singhania, executive chairman of the company.
Branded Textile: Revenue fell 21 per cent YoY to Rs 727 crore in Q4; EBITDA margin dropped to 7 per cent from 21.8 per cent due to demand softness and operational disruption.

Branded Apparel: Revenue stood at Rs 391 crore vs Rs 409 crore YoY; EBITDA margin slumped to 0.4 per cent from 13.5 per cent amid retail expansion costs and adverse channel mix.
Garmenting: Revenue flat at Rs 248 crore; EBITDA turned negative at -2.9 per cent vs 12 per cent last year due to new customer onboarding and training costs.
High Value Cotton Shirting: Revenue dipped to Rs 185 crore; however, EBITDA margin surged to 33.1 per cent due to a one-time subsidy of Rs 53 crore.
Raymond Lifestyle ended FY25 as a net cash surplus company with Rs 90 crore in cash.
Further, the company said it expects the India-UK FTA to open new export opportunities and support its long-term growth ambitions in global value chains.

Mukesh Ambani donates Rs 151 crore to alma mater ICT in honour of Professor MM Sharma
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 7, 2025, 12:32 IST Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, has announced an unconditional grant of Rs 151 crore to the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai—his alma mater—during a special event commemorating the biography launch of Professor MM Sharma titled 'Divine Scientist' . Ambani, who studied at the institute in the 1970s when it was known as UDCT (University Department of Chemical Technology), spent over three hours at the campus, reflecting on the impact of his very first lecture by Prof. Sharma. He described Prof. Sharma as a key figure who quietly shaped India's economic reforms by advocating for the dismantling of the license-permit raj to promote scale and global competitiveness in Indian industry. Comparing Prof. Sharma to his father, Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh said both visionaries believed in the transformative power of science, technology, and private entrepreneurship. 'These two bold visionaries believed that science and technology, in alliance with private entrepreneurship, would open the floodgates of prosperity,' he stated. Referring to Prof. Sharma as a Rashtra Guru or 'Guru of Bharat,' Ambani made the donation as a form of 'Guru Dakshina', acting on the professor's personal request. 'He told me, 'Mukesh you have to do something big for ICT,' and I am very pleased to announce that,' Ambani said.

Prediction: in 12 months the dirt-cheap Shell share price could turn £10,000 into…
The Shell (LSE SHEL) share price looks cheap right now, with a price-to-earnings ratio of just 8.95. That's well below the average FTSE 100 P/E of 15 times. There's a reason for that, of course. Shell shares have fallen with the oil price, slumping almost 10% in 12 months. They're still up 67% over five years though. That's less than half the drop suffered by FTSE 100 rival BP. Shell seems to have a better idea how to navigate the push to net zero, but with the oil price hovering around $65 a barrel, it's still struggling. It's far from a done deal that Shell can bounce back from today's lows and make investors rich all over again. There is little sign the oil price is about to recover. With OPEC+ increasing production, it could fall further, especially as China struggles and Donald Trump brings volatility. Then there's the push towards net zero, which could go either way. Theoretically, building a new line of renewable energy will threaten fossil fuel behemoths, but we need them to help us push through the transition. This is particularly true given exponentially rising energy demand, thanks to AI and the rest. Shell's first-quarter results, published on 2 May, showed adjusted earnings of $5.6bn. That's a big drop from $7.73bn a year earlier but ahead of analyst expectations of $4.96bn. The company also announced another $3.5bn quarterly share buyback programme, marking the 14th consecutive quarter of at least $3bn in buybacks. Cash flow from operations came in at $9.3bn, slightly below consensus expectations of $9.6bn. So what about that dividend? A trailing yield of 4.4% is okay, but not exactly to die for. It's expected to creep up in 2026, but only to 4.49%. Shell isn't the dividend superstar it once was. Over the last 15 years, I would have expected shareholder payouts to compound at a decent clip. Instead, it's fallen by an average of 2.88% a year. The board didn't just slash its full-year dividend from 188 US cents in 2019 to 65.3 cents during the 2020 pandemic. It rebased it. While payouts have climbed at a decent clip since, they started from that lower level. In 2024, the total dividend was 139 US cents. That's at levels last seen in 2007. The 19 analysts serving up one-year share price forecasts have produced a median target of around 3,027p. If correct, that's a handsome increase of around 21.5% from today. Combined with that yield, this would give investors a total return of 26%. Based on that, if somebody invested £10,000 in the stock today, it would grow to £12,600 in a year. Obviously, nobody can predict the future like that. I use it only as a guide to market thinking. Here's another. Of the 32 analysts giving one-year stock ratings, an impressive 23 name Shell a Strong Buy. Four say Hold and five say Sell. Shell continues to face risks, as the oil price slows, net zero spreads confusion, and the global economy struggles. It may look cheap, but there's no guarantee its shares will suddenly close the valuation gap. But for those wanting exposure to energy, today's low valuation does make Shell worth considering. More so than BP, in my book. The post Prediction: in 12 months the dirt-cheap Shell share price could turn £10,000 into… appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

New Rotherham park and ride site opens
A new park and ride site for tram train passengers has opened next to Rotherham's Parkgate Shopping Centre. The free 289-space car park is part of a £12.9m project to improve transport connections across South Yorkshire. Money for the site, which includes 14 EV chargers, cycle racks, disabled access spaces, and parking for solo motorcycles, has come from the government's £166m Transforming Cities Fund. Chris Read, leader of Rotherham Council, said: "The new Park and Ride is a real win for Rotherham – it's about making everyday journeys easier, greener and more accessible for local people. "Whether you're hopping on the Tram Train, cycling to the shops, or charging an EV, this investment helps us cut congestion, reduce emissions, and build a better-connected future for our town," he added. The money was also used to build a new link road to make it easier for people to reach the shopping park and reduce traffic congestion on the A633 and A6123. South Yorkshire's Mayor Oliver Coppard said: "South Yorkshire deserves nothing less than a world-class public transport network so our communities can access the jobs and opportunities they deserve; and that we can all stay near and go far." Mark Kanaris, senior operations manager for Parkgate Shopping Park, added: "This investment will have a daily impact, benefitting the hundreds of people who work here and the thousands of visitors who enjoy our big name stores and restaurants each week."
