Lux Industries’ income from operations during the quarter under review jumped 49 per cent year on year (YoY) at Rs 601 crore against Rs 404 crore in the corresponding quarter of previous fiscal. Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) margins improved 507 basis points (bps) at 21.45 per cent against 16.38 per cent in the year-ago quarter. Higher Ebitda margins were on account of an increased share of value-added products and overall cost efficiency measures, including advertisement expenditure.

The management said the performance has been driven by progressive improvement in demand and consumption across the innerwear industry. The company witnessed healthy traction for the economy and mid-premium categories and saw a gradual pickup in the premium and export segment.
