Savita Singh: Thank you, Manav. Good afternoon, everyone. I am Savita Singh, on behalf of Dolat Capital,
welcome you all to the Q1 FY27 Earnings Conference Call of Sheela Foam Limited. I would
like to thank the management for giving us this opportunity to host the call.
Today from the management team, we have with us Mr. Rahul Gautam, Chairman and Managing
Director; Mr. Tushaar Gautam, Vice Chairman and Joint Managing Director; Mr. Rakesh
Chahar, Deputy Managing Director; and Mr. Amit Kumar Gupta, who's the Group CFO.
I will now hand over the call to the management team for their opening remarks. Over to you,
sir.
Rahul Gautam: Thank you, Savita. Thank you very much. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. At the outset,
let me thank you all for joining this conference call to discuss our operational and financial
performance for the first quarter of FY 2027. I trust you have had the opportunity to go through
our results and the earnings presentation, which has been uploaded on our website.
This year has begun on an excellent note for us. I'm happy to share that for the first time in the
group's history, Sheela Foam has reported a consolidated revenues of more than INR1,000 crores
and EBITDA of more than INR100 crores in the first quarter of any fiscal year. The group
recorded a PAT of INR62 crores for the quarter, a substantial jump year-on-year.
For the first quarter of this year, our standalone Indian business delivered revenue growth of
20% and standalone EBITDA growth of 13% on a year-on-year basis. Within this, the mattresses
value grew by 15% and the volumes by 6%, while our foam business grew by 26% in value and
4% in volume terms.
Despite the challenges of a volatile raw material prices amid the ongoing Middle East situation,
we delivered EBITDA growth and a higher absolute EBITDA compared with last year's first
quarter. The moderation in margin was on account of the sharp fall in raw material prices during
the quarter.
Foam witnessed higher growth than mattresses, which pulled gross margins down. However,
this growth was cash accretive and supported better EBITDA generation. One might argue that
in a falling raw material environment, we too could have chosen to moderate our foam growth
to protect margins.

However, we took a different view. Sheela Foam did not become the industry leader by
optimizing for a single quarter. It earned that position by being a partner it’s customers can
depend upon through every phase of the cycle.
Consistency of supply is a commitment we do not compromise with, and it is precisely why we
continue to carry inventory and serve our customers without interruption. This is what
distinguishes us from the unorganized sector, which tends to produce foam only when it is
opportune to do so.
That is when raw material prices are low. For us, leadership means standing by our customers
most reliably at the very moment others choose to step back. We are among the finest research
houses in the country in polyurethane foam and our foam serves as a brand and a benchmark in
the furniture and other foam-based industries.
While it is our constant endeavor to increase our market share in mattresses, we will always
pursue opportunities that generate incremental cash flows. Our e-commerce business continues
on a strong growth journey.
Sales on our websites, which we call as Brand.com, grew by 69% year-on-year basis, while sales
on platforms grew by 19% year-on-year. The category registered an overall year-on-year growth
of 30% in Q1 FY27 with volumes growing by 23%. We are focused on increasing our category
share and expanding the breadth of our portfolio.
We are also poised to enter the Furniture segment under our flagship umbrella brands,
synergizing and leveraging Furlenco's - designs, manufacturing and logistics capabilities. As a
first step, we have launched sofa beds under both the Sleepwell and Kurlon brands, and the early
market response has been encouraging.
Scaling this business is a natural extension of our existing strengths. Our extensive EBO and
COCO network provides a ready physical footprint to take these products across the country,
while our own brand websites and platforms will drive our online presence. By building on
existing infrastructure, we are able to pursue this opportunity in a capital-efficient manner,
keeping incremental investments to a minimum.
Our U2O, that is the unorganized to organized business, has now expanded to nearly 10,000
dealers across the country. This vast and growing network helped us clock 81% year-on-year
growth with volumes growing by 19%.
This substantial growth was driven by the expansion of our portfolio with the introduction of 5-
and 6-inch mattresses in the category, which have been received exceptionally well by value-
conscious consumers moving up the chain and resulting in better category realizations.
Coming to our foreign subsidiaries, both Australia and Spain delivered an exceptional operating
performance during the quarter. In Australia, Joyce revenue grew by 31% to INR120 crores with
an EBITDA margin of 12.8% for the quarter compared with 6.8% in the quarter 1 of last year.

In Spain, the revenue stood at INR133 crores, a growth of 54% over last year, with the EBITDA
margins improving to 14.7% compared with 5.7% in quarter 1 of last year. Some small part of
this growth could be attributable to currency changes as well.
The improvement in performance is due both to the strategic yield improvement programs and
supply chain restructuring initiatives implemented over the last year and to the fact that our
international businesses carry higher inventory, allowing lower cost inventory to run longer,
