For the D2C brand, the cost of procurement of products accounted for 31.16% of the overall expenditure. To the tune of scale, it decreased by 4.6% to Rs 144 crore in Q2 FY25 from Rs 151 crore in Q2 FY24.

Its employee benefits, marketing, legal, rent, and other overheads pushed the total expenditure up by 9.1% quarter-on-quarter to Rs 506 crore in Q2 FY25 from Rs 464 crore in Q2 FY24.

Dip in scale and increased expenditure led Honasa to register a loss of Rs 18.6 crore in Q2 FY25, compared to a profit of Rs 29.4 crore in Q2 FY24. Notably, it achieved record-high profits of Rs 40 crore in Q1 FY25.

Despite the decline in scale, the company’s share price grew 3.77% today and was recorded at Rs 378 with a total marketing capitalization of Rs 12,278 crore or $1.46 billion.
