Financial Performance

| Metric | Q1FY27 (Unaudited) | Q4FY26 (Audited) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from operations | ₹60,312.3 million | ₹64,997.8 million | -7.1% |
| Profit before tax | ₹2,835.8 million | ₹4,642.5 million | -39.0% |
| Net profit | ₹2,082.2 million | ₹3,456.6 million | -40.0% |
Year-over-year, revenue grew 26% to ₹60,312.3 million against ₹47,861.2 million in the same period last year. Net profit for the quarter was slightly lower than the year-ago figure of ₹2,655.7 million.
What the Numbers Show
Cost of materials consumed remained the largest expense head at ₹46,508.9 million, constituting approximately 77% of total revenue. This high cost ratio is typical for the jewellery sector but highlights the sensitivity of margins to gold price fluctuations and inventory management. Finance costs increased to ₹623.4 million from ₹491.2 million in the prior quarter, adding pressure on pre-tax profits.
Strategic Developments
Beyond financial results, the board approved several strategic initiatives:
- Investment of ₹171.15 million in Lalithaa Jewellery (M) SDN. BHD., Malaysia, as part of its international expansion strategy.
- Constitution of a Borrowing and Investment Committee to manage borrowings and investments.
- Approval of an account with Globe Capital (IFSC) Limited for direct bullion purchases from international sellers.
- Utilization of IPO proceeds, with certain funds temporarily deposited with scheduled commercial banks.
The company completed its Initial Public Offer in August 2026, raising ₹12,000 million through a fresh issue and ₹5,000 million through an offer for sale.
