I made below annual projections for my YouTube video purpose, I may be a bit more bullish here, but it could be a ball park idea.

Hi Amit , Can u be little more detailed on assumptions on gross margin , ebitda margin and drivers for these , retail vs refinery ratio and new store count assumed

Only numbers does not help to understand the thought

This is a conservative estimate, Management told they will be at par with peers margin profile in 2-3 quarters, so we may see gradual improvement in margins QoQ slowly

Hey, Bibhor I have taken the EBITDA margins at 5% in FY’25, which can improve due to higher retail sales as well gold sourcing from IBX along with the higher stud ratio. In my views company is on track to make ~8000 crores of revenue by the end of FYE’25 as of now they have done ~6,000 crores in FY’25. Finance cost in next year could be lower due to use of GML and depreciation could increase because of higher number of stores. I have explained these details in the video link in profile.

Hey, Amit thanks for sharing the video, I disagree with the sales numbers that 8000 crores can be reached. In my views company could miss this number by 5% to 7% , however margins could be in the same range.

I had one question and would be really helpful if someone could highlight what I am missing on here. Rev grew by 24%, however all the segmental revenue be it retail, ecomm or franchise grew by more than 40%. Is there any segment they are not reporting in press release? Also since Retail forms 77% of sales and grew by 42%, what is bringing the overall revenue growth to 24%… Just curious to understand more about the business model

All three are retail segment… They have one more segment non-retail, that degrow

As margins are improved significantly in this Quarter, Growth trajectory may not continue in Q4 as Q3 is strong due to festival demand.
Expecting some rerating on basis of margin improvement.

Management already said in concall that (Take with a Pinch of Salt)

Wedding season & Gudi Padwa sales expected to drive growth.

Maharashtra has a strong gold-buying culture during weddings.

The December-May period sees peak wedding purchases, including bridal jewellery, gifts, and family purchases.

Gudi Padwa has cultural significance is considered an auspicious time to buy gold. Many people purchase jewellery, coins, and other gold items as a tradition.

It also marks the start of the Hindu financial year, influencing investments in gold.

And its better to analyze seasonal business on a year-on-year (YoY) basis rather than quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to get a clearer picture of trends.

@ Varsh : Con call summary well summarised , thanks

  1. What’s the outlook for sales and PAT in Q4 : Can we assume ~ 2k cr of sales and 70 cr of PAT ?

  2. What’s the sales growth outlook for FY 26 ? With no of stores moving from 53 to 78 and SSG of 25% , can we assume 40-50% sales growth in FY 26 ? and whats the margin outlook for FY 26 , will the aggressive expansion next year eat away margins and profit growth would be lower vs sales growth ?
