Financial Performance Context
The capital raise follows a strong Q1FY27 performance where revenue from operations surged 144.69% year-on-year to ₹716.38 crore. Profit after tax (PAT) rose 46.94% to ₹50.48 crore, driven by a 61-62% increase in volume and price appreciation.
EBITDA grew 39% to ₹71.45 crore, resulting in a margin of 9.97%. Management noted that approximately 2-2.5 percentage points of this margin were derived from unrealized gains due to a change in inventory valuation method from FIFO to Weighted Average Cost. Excluding this, the underlying sustainable EBITDA margin is guided at 7.5-8% for FY27.
Strategic Initiatives and Outlook
The funds raised support ongoing capacity expansion, including the new Marol facility which commenced operations during Q1FY27. A new Jaipur plant with ₹47 crore capex is expected to become operational between mid-November and December 2026.
Key strategic developments include:
- Export Expansion: Establishing an office in Dubai to expand international footprint, pending RBI approval. Exports currently constitute 4% of total revenue.
- Product Mix: Studded jewellery accounts for approximately 75% of sales, with plain gold jewellery comprising the remaining 25%.
- Guidance: Management targets 50-60% revenue growth and 30-40% volume growth for FY27, maintaining a debt-to-equity ratio below 1x.
