Wakefit Innovations Limited reported a robust start to FY27, with revenue from operations rising 16.6% year-on-year to ₹4,049.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Bengaluru-based direct-to-consumer home furnishings company saw its profit after tax (PAT) increase by 19.2% to ₹233.8 million, reflecting improved operational efficiency and successful price adjustments to offset raw material volatility. This performance underscores the company’s ability to maintain margin expansion amidst supply chain headwinds linked to global geopolitical tensions.

The results were filed under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, on August 06, 2026. The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financials, which were reviewed by Statutory Auditors M/s. B S R & Co. LLP in accordance with Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410. The filing highlights significant improvement in profitability metrics, with reported EBITDA (excluding other income) growing 25.2% to ₹564.0 million.

Financial Performance

Gross profit stood at ₹2,310.9 million, representing a margin of 57.1%, an improvement from 55.8% in the corresponding quarter last year. This uplift was primarily driven by price hikes implemented to counter sharp increases in Polyol and TDI prices due to supply disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict. Operating EBITDA grew 49.7% to ₹368.3 million, with margins expanding to 9.1% from 7.1%. Other income contributed ₹156.2 million to total income.

Operational Highlights

The company’s revenue mix remained dominated by mattresses, which contributed 65.9% of total sales, followed by furniture at 27.8% and furnishings at 6.3%. Own channels accounted for 72.3% of revenue, growing 20.5% year-on-year, while external channels grew 7.6%. Retail channel growth mirrored this trend at 20.5% YoY.

Wakefit expanded its physical footprint significantly, adding 27 new COCO stores during the quarter to reach a total of 165 active stores as of June 30, 2026. This pace is notably higher than the 42 stores added throughout all of FY26. Additionally, the Managed Business Operator (MBO) network expanded to 2,250 stores across 701 cities. Advertisement and marketing investments remained stable at 7.6% of revenue.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between reported PAT growth (19.2%) and operating EBITDA growth (49.7%) highlights the impact of tax accounting adjustments rather than pure operational leverage. The current quarter included a deferred tax expense of ₹73.0 million due to the partial unwinding of deferred tax assets (DTA). This contrasts sharply with Q4FY26, which benefited from a one-time DTA recognition of ₹980.7 million. Excluding these tax movements, underlying PAT was ₹306.8 million, indicating that core operational profitability remained stable with only a marginal 1.9% YoY increase. This suggests that while top-line growth is accelerating, the normalization of tax benefits has temporarily muted net profit visibility compared to the prior year’s exceptional quarter.

Management Commentary

Ankit Garg, Chairman, CEO and Executive Director, noted that repeat customers contributed 36.7% of revenue, underscoring strong brand loyalty. He highlighted that the mattress business grew 27.3% YoY and remains the primary cash-generation engine. Looking ahead, management expects furniture and furnishings to gain meaningful contribution over the next three to four years.

Chaitanya Ramalingegowda, Executive Director, addressed the supply chain challenges caused by Middle East-related volatility in raw material costs. He confirmed that calibrated pricing actions mitigated immediate impacts, though full cost pressures may reflect in H1FY27. The company remains on track for its planned capex of ₹1,000–1,200 million, with 80% allocated to retail expansion, particularly jumbo stores, and 20% to manufacturing automation.
