Biryani By Kilo reported a 14 percent increase in revenue to Rs 310 crore in FY25, up from Rs 272 crore in FY24, according to filings with the Registrar of Companies.
The company generated Rs 307 crore from operations during the year, with Rs 291 crore coming from food and beverage sales and Rs 16 crore from delivery charges. An additional Rs 3 crore was recorded as other income, including interest and franchise-related earnings.
However, rising costs continued to pressure profitability. Total expenses grew 15 percent year-on-year to Rs 399 crore in FY25. The cost of materials consumed increased 20 percent to Rs 133.3 crore, forming the largest expense component. Employee benefit expenses also rose to Rs 73.2 crore from Rs 70 crore in the previous year.
Spending on advertising climbed 18 percent to Rs 30 crore, while commission expenses surged 36 percent to Rs 49 crore. Delivery-related expenses stood at Rs 12 crore during the period.
As a result, the company reported a net loss of Rs 93 crore in FY25, a 26 percent increase compared to Rs 74 crore in FY24. Its unit economics remained largely unchanged, with the firm spending Rs 1.30 to earn every rupee, slightly higher than Rs 1.29 in the previous year.
