Metro Brands Faces Financial Challenges Amidst Strong Cash Flow and High Dividend Payout
Metro Brands has recently adjusted its evaluation, reflecting challenges in financial performance for the quarter ending September 2025. The company reported a decline in profit after tax and a low operating profit to interest ratio, while maintaining strong operating cash flow and a high dividend payout ratio. The overall quality grade has shifted to average.
Metro Brands, a prominent player in the footwear industry, has recently undergone an evaluation adjustment that reflects shifts in its financial metrics and overall market position. The company's financial performance for the quarter ending September 2025 has shown notable challenges, with a significant decline in profit after tax (PAT) reported at Rs 67.69 crore, marking a decrease of 24.2% compared to the previous four-quarter average. In terms of operational efficiency, the operating profit to interest ratio has reached a low of 5.80 times, indicating potential concerns regarding the company's ability to manage its interest obligations effectively. Additionally, the debt-equity ratio stands at 1.77 times, suggesting a higher leverage position that may impact financial stability.
Despite these challenges, Metro Brands has reported its highest operating cash flow at Rs 697.53 crore, alongside a dividend payout ratio of 155.30%, which reflects a commitment to returning value to shareholders. However, the overall quality grade has shifted to average, influenced by modest sales growth of 11.95% over the past five years and an EBIT growth of only 1.76%.
As the largest company in its sector, Metro Brands constitutes a significant portion of the industry, with annual sales of Rs 2,625.24 crore representing 7.65% of the total market.
