Liberty Shoes reported a significant decline in profitability for the quarter ended December 2025, with standalone net profit falling 75.11% to ₹0.59 crore compared to ₹2.37 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. According to reports from Business Standard, this substantial profit decline indicates challenging operational conditions for the footwear manufacturer during the December quarter.
Despite the profit decline, Liberty Shoes demonstrated resilience in revenue generation, with sales rising 13.00% to ₹180.92 crore in Q3 FY26 compared to ₹160.10 crore in Q3 FY25. As reported by Business Standard, this revenue growth suggests the company maintained its market presence and customer demand, though profitability metrics remained under pressure.
The company's operating profit margin (OPM) declined to 7.32% in Q3 FY26 from 8.38% in the previous year, indicating reduced operational efficiency and potential cost pressures. According to the financial data reported by Business Standard, this margin compression contributed to the overall profit decline despite the company's ability to grow its top-line revenue.
PBDT (Profit Before Depreciation and Tax) decreased 10% to ₹9.46 crore from ₹10.50 crore year-on-year, while PBT (Profit Before Tax) fell 68% to ₹1.17 crore compared to ₹3.61 crore in Q3 FY25. As reported by Business Standard, these figures highlight the company's operational challenges beyond just the bottom-line profit decline, suggesting broader margin pressures across the business.
