Business 

Credo Brands Marketing's flagship brand, Mufti, was introduced 25 years ago to offer alternative dressing solutions for men. Its product range includes shirts, t-shirts, jeans, and chinos, providing year-round clothing options.

The company is focused on delivering youthful aesthetics, while staying abreast with current fashion trends. CBML is involved in the retail sale of garments and accessories and does not engage in apparel manufacturing.

Shareholding Pattern

The promoters of the company are Kamal Khushlani and Poonam Khushlani.

Financial Performance

The company's net profit has risen in the last three fiscals. It stood at Rs 77.51 crore in FY23, compared to Rs 35.74 crore in FY22 and Rs 3.44 crore in FY21.

Total income has also jumped in the last three years. In FY21 it stood at 261.15 crore and rose to Rs 354.84 crore in FY22. It stood at Rs 509.32 crore during the year.

However, net profit was at Rs 8.58 crore in Q1 FY24. While total income was Rs 119.43 crore in the quarter ended June.

Key Risks

  • Reliance on the sale of men's casual western wear makes it susceptible to changes in demand and consumer preferences, potentially impacting business.

  • Exclusive branding of all products under Mufti poses a risk, as ineffective marketing or a negative shift in brand perception could decrease consumer engagement.

  • Highly competitive markets, both offline and online.

  • Pricing pressure from competitors.
