Commenting on the result, Kamal Khushlani, Chairman & MD, Credo Brands Marketing said, “We at Mufti thank the investor community for the tremendous support shown during the IPO. Public Listing is a proud moment for us and this will provide a healthy visibility to the brand. Over the recent months, the retail sector experienced a slowdown owing to subdued consumer demand. Despite facing these external challenges, the company has successfully sustained its growth momentum. Moreover, some demand typically linked with the festive season has been deferred to the third quarter of this year, leading to comparatively lower growth for Q2 & H1FY24. During H1FY24, Revenues grew by 21% Y-o-Y to Rs 284 crore with Gross Margins at 57.0%. Our EBITDA and PAT for H1FY24 stood at Rs 87 crore and Rs 37 crore respectively.
