BQ Blue's special research section collates quality and in-depth equity and economy research reports from across India's top brokerages, asset managers and research agencies. These reports offer BloombergQuint's subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy.

Motilal Oswal Report

Westlife Development Ltd. delivered in-line same store sales growth, but lower-than expected sales growth, with just one new store addition in Q4 FY21 and only five in FY21.

Furthermore, the dine-in channel (45% of sales in Q4 FY21) was still below normal levels.

However, strong performance from the convenience channel is a positive.

Gross margin expansion through volume recovery, channel optimization, and supply chain initiatives is encouraging.

The recovery in McCafe would further support the gross margin.

Ebitda margins were below expectations, with a one-time employee bonus and salary reversals putting pressure.

Nevertheless, the company's efforts on fixed cost reduction should aid margins going forward.
