Motisons Jewellers reported robust financial performance for the first quarter of FY27 (ended June 30, 2026), with net profit after tax rising 37.7% year-on-year to ₹1104.8 lakh. The company saw revenue from operations grow by 23.3% to ₹10,732.6 lakh, reflecting strong demand and operational scaling. The unaudited standalone financial results were reviewed by statutory auditors Keyur Shah & Co. and approved by the Board of Directors on August 12, 2026.

The company’s profitability expanded significantly, with profit before tax increasing from ₹1078.4 lakh in Q1FY26 to ₹1483.4 lakh in Q1FY27. This growth was underpinned by a sharp rise in revenue, which outpaced the increase in total expenses. Finance costs declined to ₹108.4 lakh from ₹152.4 lakh in the corresponding previous quarter, indicating improved debt management or lower interest burdens.

Financial Highlights

Operational Efficiency

A key driver of the profit expansion was the significant reduction in inventory costs. The change in inventories of finished goods, work-in-progress, and stock-in-trade stood at (₹9,565.4 lakh) for Q1FY27, compared to an increase of ₹234.2 lakh in Q1FY26. This indicates that the company sold off existing stock rather than accumulating it, directly boosting gross margins despite a higher purchase of stock-in-trade (₹16,649.4 lakh vs ₹6,029.0 lakh YoY).

Other income remained negligible at ₹1.1 lakh, ensuring that the profit growth was primarily operational rather than driven by non-recurring gains. Employee benefit expenses rose moderately to ₹274.2 lakh from ₹239.1 lakh, aligning with the revenue growth trajectory.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between the surge in stock purchases and the decline in inventory levels highlights a shift in working capital dynamics. While Motisons Jewellers increased its procurement spend by over 176% year-on-year (from ₹6,029.0 lakh to ₹16,649.4 lakh), the negative inventory change suggests rapid turnover of existing stock. This efficiency allowed the company to convert higher operational activity into bottom-line profits without proportionate increases in employee or finance costs.

Capital Raise

During the quarter, Motisons Jewellers completed a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), issuing 135.7 million equity shares at ₹11.05 per share. The issue raised gross proceeds of ₹15,000.0 lakh. Net proceeds after issue expenses amounted to ₹13,936.8 lakh. The company utilized ₹12,936.8 lakh towards funding working capital requirements, leaving an unutilized amount of ₹63.2 lakh for this purpose. The remaining proceeds are allocated for general corporate purposes.

The paid-up equity share capital increased to ₹11,375.1 lakh from ₹9,844.6 lakh in the corresponding period last year, reflecting the impact of the new issuance. Basic earnings per share rose to ₹0.11 from ₹0.08 in Q1FY26.
