Strong performance in Q3FY2020 driven by 10%: Revenue grew by ~33% y-o-y in Q3FY2020 to Rs. 869.7
crore from Rs. 656.5 crore in Q3FY2019 driven by ~10%, SSSG came in at 12% for 9MFY2020. Higher discounts
and a change in revenue mix led GPM to decline by 240 BPS to 50.6%. However, operating efficiencies
drove up comparable OPM by ~130 BPS to 12.4%. Reported OPM increased significantly to 20% due to the
implementation of Ind AS 116 and reported operating profit grew to Rs. 173.5 crore. Other income registered
a considerable rise to Rs. 38.2 crore. Despite higher finance costs and depreciation due to Ind AS 116, profit
before tax (PBT) grew by 53.5% y-o-y to Rs. 94.6 crore. Reported PAT grew by 38.4% y-o-y to Rs. 55.7 crore
in Q3FY2020 from Rs. 40.3 crore in Q3FY2019. The net impact on Ind AS 116 stood at Rs. 8.74 crore for the

Outlook
Trent has reported strong performance in 9MFY2020 with revenue and reported PAT growing by 32%
and 26%, respectively, driven by consistent SSSG, store expansion and strong traction of private brands.
Westside grew by 22% in 9MFY2020 with a SSSG of 12%. We expect the SSSG trajectory to sustain backed
by improving store fundamentals. Almost 100% share of private labels will help the company improve its
supply chain and maintain its OPM expansion momentum. We expect the OPM to stand at ~18.5% for FY2020,
after considering the adjustments for Ind AS 116. Aggressive store expansion in Westside, scale up of Zudio
and higher investments in the brand will help the company maintain its operating performance in the coming
quarters.

Investment theme
Trent is the only branded retail player with close to 100% share of private brands with pan-India presence.
Trent offers a strong set of brands catering to all categories of consumers, which has helped the company
report the highest average revenue per square foot compared to other branded players. Trent has maintained
its SSSG momentum over the years as well as the profitability is seen increasing y-o-y. Aggressive store
expansion, better store fundamentals, higher contribution from private brands and innovative product offering
in the premium and value fashion space would be key growth drivers for the company going ahead.

Key Risks
ŠŠ Any slowdown in the discretionary demand environment would impact SSSG, affecting revenue growth.
ŠŠ Heightened competition, especially in the form of private labels by other branded players, would act as
a threat to revenue growth.
ŠŠ Any significant increase in key raw-material prices such as cotton would affect the company’s profitability.
