Damas Acquisition and Corporate Developments

During Q4FY26, Titan successfully completed its 67% acquisition of Damas Jewellery, one of the GCC region's heritage jewellery brands, marking a significant step in the company's international expansion. Titan Holding International FZCO, a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired a 67% equity interest in Damas LLC through Signature Jewellery Holding Limited with effect from 4 January 2026, for a consideration of ₹1,190 crores. A put option liability of ₹1,668 crores has been recognised, resulting in a total purchase consideration of ₹2,858 crores. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, the transaction resulted in the recognition of provisional goodwill amounting to ₹599 crores. On 4 April 2025, TEAL also acquired 100% of the business engaged in manufacturing of specialised test and assembly automation equipment from Justech Precision Industry India Private Limited for a total consideration of ₹62 crores, with goodwill of ₹4 crores recognised on the transaction.

During the year ended 31 March 2026, the Government of India notified four Labour Codes consolidating 29 existing labour laws. The company evaluated and disclosed the incremental impact of these regulatory changes; on a standalone basis, the incremental impact of ₹(49) crores was recognised as an exceptional item for Q4FY26 and ₹89 crores for the full year. On a consolidated basis, the exceptional item amounted to ₹(51) crores for the quarter and ₹101 crores for the year ended 31 March 2026, primarily on account of past service cost for gratuity and leave liability due to changes in wage definitions.

Management Commentary

Commenting on the performance, Mr. Ajoy Chawla, Managing Director, stated: "FY26 has been a landmark year for Titan. We had crossed the ₹50,000 crores annual revenue milestone in FY25 after nearly 40 years. The next ₹25,000 crores has been remarkably achieved in a single year of FY26. This is a reflection of the enduring strength of our brands, the trust of our consumers, and the unflinching commitment of every member of the Titan family. As we step into FY27 with optimism on the back of an exceptional FY26 performance, we are conscious of the macro volatility and fragile geopolitical situations that necessitate all around agility to respond effectively to grow our businesses. We remain committed to elevating Titan's competitive advantage, deepening customer engagement, and creating long-term value for all our stakeholders."
