Leading denim manufacturer Vishal Fabrics Limited reported a net profit of Rs 10 crore ($1.3 million) in the quarter ended June 2021, as against a net loss of Rs 8 crore it reported in the year-ago period.
 

The company’s revenue for the quarter rose by 338 percent to Rs 295 crore, as against Rs 67 crore it had reported in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
 
Commenting on the Q1 results, Brijmohan Chiripal, managing director and CEO of Vishal Fabrics, in a statement said: “The results of the first quarter of FY22 demonstrates the resilience of our company’s strong operating performance. Domestic demand and improvement in exports contributed to our growing sales. An increase in raw material prices impacted gross margin during the quarter. However, various cost reduction measures helped us to sustain EBITDA margins.

“Going forward, we endeavor to reduce our debt and achieve a reasonable debt: equity mix which will help us strengthen our balance sheet,” he added.
 
The Ahmedabad-based Vishal Fabrics Limited (VFL) is a flagship company of the Chiripal Group. The company does business with various brands such as Jack & Jones, Flipkart, Myntra, Aditya Birla Group, Pantaloons, and Lifestyle, among others.
