We were able to maintain our growth momentum in Q1 FY27 despite a difficult external environment, including a sharp increase and continued volatility in raw material prices. This was driven by robust domestic demand, leading to volume growth supported by a strong back-to- school season, coupled with marginal increase in ASPs on account of calibrated price increase to partially offset the significant increase in volatility in raw material prices. All our core categories witnessed healthy growth. Scholastic stationery, scholastic art material and paper stationery growth was led by the back-to-school demand backed by new launches and capacity additions undertaken in the recent period. Our office supplies category continues to see high positive traction, led by growing demand for our pens and a widening portfolio of products. The new launches across mechanical pencils, erasers, paper stationery, pens, pencil boxes, school bags and kits and combos received strong consumer acceptance. This reaffirms our capability to drive growth through consumer-centric innovation and agile product development. Beyond our traditional led growth, we also saw high growth traction in new age channels of modern trade, e-commerce and quick commerce. This was primarily driven by momentum in Page 2 of 13 DOMS Industries Limited August 04, 2026 our baby hygiene segment. Export growth was flattish during the quarter, primarily due to the global disruptions and elevated logistics challenges arising from the ongoing war situation. Coming to our margins and cost environment. Sharp increase in raw material prices and volatility persisted during the quarter, driven by ongoing global uncertainties. We continue to manage this through prudent procurement to ensure uninterrupted operations. However, the company has chosen to remain focused on volume-led growth and market share expansion over near-term margin consideration amidst sharp and volatile commodity inflation. Now coming to the details of our financial performance for Q1 FY27. Operating revenues for the quarter grew by 19.2% to INR670 crores, in line with our annual guided range, highlighting our sustained growth trajectory. EBITDA for Q1 FY27 were down by 16.4% to INR82.6 crores with EBITDA margin at 12.3% in Q1 FY27 as compared to 17.6% in Q1 FY26, primarily on account of fall in gross margins by nearly 400 basis points due to sharp raw material inflation linked to the West Asia crisis. Further impact on EBITDA was due to higher employee benefit expenses on account of new tranche of ESOP grants and increased employee headcount and increased other expenses primarily due to expenses linked to organizing our channel partners meet along with the ceremonial occasion to mark the possession of the first building of the 50-plus acre project. PAT for Q1 FY 2027 stood at INR45.3 crores as compared to INR59.1 crores in Q1 FY26 and PAT margin for Q1 FY27 stood at 6.8% as compared to 10.5% in Q1 FY26. PAT growth was impacted primarily due to increase in depreciation on account of capacity expansion and commissioning of new facilities. We see this moderation in margins as a temporary blip rather than a structural deterioration and continue to maintain our focus on volume-led market share growth. In relation to updates of our ongoing capacity expansion, our overall expansion plans are progressing well. Development at the 50-plus acre greenfield project is now on track, and we expect to commission close to 300,000 square feet of operational area by the end of Q2 FY27. This, along with expansion initiatives in adjoining areas will help us scale capacity to capitalize on the latent demand for our products. The company has already invested close to INR100 crores in Q1 of FY27, primarily towards capital investments. Now coming to the update on the Reynolds' brand team and asset integration. The implementation of the asset purchase agreement is progressing as planned. The integration of Reynolds' team personnel, along with the movement of assets at our Umbergaon facility is now complete. The brand's full sales potential will be unlo [Showing first 8,000 characters — download PDF for full document]
