EBITDA scopes have actually been actually lessening because of our franchisee model, FOCO, where our company share disgusting margins along with the franchisee partner.

On one palm, steps have actually improved as well as same-store purchases development is also stronger than June whereas, however, the damaging trait is that there is actually an one-time write of around Rs 120 crore and also it will be actually partially absorbed in Q2 and also Q3.If you consider mid-term and also long-lasting influence, at that point it is actually not positive.
