Revenue Soars Amid Expansion
Specialty coffee chain Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters has posted a strong revenue performance for fiscal year 2025, with operating revenue jumping 1.5 times to ₹325.4 crore. This significant increase from ₹215.8 crore in FY24 underscores the brand's growing market penetration. The company now operates over 100 physical outlets across major Indian cities and has established international presence in Tokyo and Dubai.
Loss Narrows Despite Tax Impact
Blue Tokai's net loss for the year ended March 2025 declined by 20.2% to ₹50.2 crore, down from ₹62.9 crore in FY24. The company's bottom line was impacted by a ₹11.1 crore tax outgo in FY25, a stark contrast to a tax gain in the previous fiscal year. Consequently, the loss before tax saw a more substantial reduction of nearly 40%, falling to ₹39.1 crore from ₹64.2 crore.
Rising Expenditures
Total expenditure for Blue Tokai climbed 35.3% year-on-year to ₹385 crore in FY25. Rent emerged as a significant cost driver, surging 67% to ₹55.2 crore. The cost of materials consumed, the largest spending head, increased by 19.5% to ₹104.6 crore. Employee benefit expenses also saw a rise of 12.6%, reaching ₹94.5 crore.
