Investment Rationale
Trent’s Q2 performance surprised positively. Standalone revenue grew 126% YoY (2-yr CAGR for H1FY22 stood at -8%). The make-up of format-wise store openings implies that the beat was mostly led by SSSG. GM surprised positively too (52.1% vs HSIE: 46.3%), suggesting that full-price sales were higher than expected. Lower inventory provisions YoY and normalisation of revenue mix in favour of Westside are likely to have contributed to the GM recoup too (11pp YoY). EBITDAM, at 21.7%, was the highest in 10 quarters (HSIE: 14.3%). Working capital continues to normalise. FY23/24 EBITDA estimates remain unchanged. The brokerage retains SELL recommendation with an SOTP-based TP of INR 810/sh (implying 28x Dec-23 EV/EBITDA).
