Tata Group-owned retailer Trent Limited reported a 46 per cent year-on-year decline in net profit to ₹350 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025, down from ₹654.28 crore in the same period last year. The company announced these results on Tuesday, just before market close.

Revenue from operations rose 29 per cent to ₹4,106.10 crore compared to ₹3,186.93 crore in Q4 FY24. The owner of Westside and Zudio brands also reported total income of ₹4,203.14 crore for the quarter, up from ₹3,260.19 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

The significant profit decline is partly attributable to the absence of exceptional gains in the current quarter. The company had reported an exceptional income of ₹543.35 crore in Q4 FY24, which boosted last year’s profits.

On a sequential basis, Trent’s performance showed a downturn with a 9.4 per cent decline in revenue compared to ₹4,657 crore posted in Q3 FY25, while profit after tax fell 36 per cent from ₹497 crore in the previous quarter.

Despite the profit decline, Trent’s board approved a dividend of ₹5 per equity share, though the record date for determining shareholder eligibility has not yet been announced.

The shares of Trent Limited ended today on the NSE at ₹5,510 up by ₹300.50 or 5.77 per cent.
