Rajendra Gandhi: Good afternoon, everyone, on behalf of Stove Kraft Limited. I extend a warm welcome to all
participants to the Q1 FY27 financial results earnings call. We also have MUFG Intime with us
on this call who are our advisers on Investor Relations.
Along with me is Mr. Chandru Kalro, our Vice Chairman; Mr. Subhadeep Pal, our CFO; and
Mr. Hemant Kothari, Vice President, Investor Relations. We have uploaded our investor deck
and earnings press release on the stock exchanges and on the company's website. I hope
everybody had an opportunity to go through them.
We are pleased to report on our strongest ever first quarter performance since inception. A
particularly noteworthy achievement given that Q1 has traditionally been a seasonally softer
quarter for the kitchen appliances industry.
Our revenue has grown by 41.3% over the same period last year. This performance was delivered
against the backdrop of global economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, supply chain
disruptions, commodity price volatility, and currency fluctuations.
Despite these external headwinds, Stove Kraft delivered a strong performance, outperforming
the industry growth trends, and further strengthening our market positions, reflecting the positive
impact of the strategic initiatives undertaken by the group over the last few years.
The quarter was marked by healthy revenue growth, meaningful margin expansion, and
profitability growth, that significantly outpaced revenue growth, driven by the increasing
benefits of operating and financial leverage.

More importantly, the quality of growth continues to improve, supported by strong momentum
across our general trade business, expanding retail footprint, premiumization-led product
innovation, and disciplined execution across the value chain. These results reinforce our
confidence that the investments made in distribution expansion, brand building, supply chain
capabilities, and product development are beginning to deliver sustainable outcomes.
As we look ahead, with strong channel momentum, continued traction in premium categories,
an expanding retail network, and onset of the festive season in the coming quarters, we believe
we are well positioned to build on this strong start and continue delivering profitable, market-
leading growth.
Turning to the product-wise performance, growth during the quarter was broad-based across our
key product categories, reflecting the strength of our diversified portfolio and ability to capture
consumer demand across multiple segments.
The Induction Cooktop category delivered exceptional growth of 315.9% year-on-year, driven
by strong underlying demand trends and our ability to effectively capitalize on the market
opportunity following geopolitical disruptions. While the category witnessed extraordinary
growth last year, demand continues to remain substantially above pre-war level, indicating a
structural shift in consumer adoption rather than a temporary spike.
ICT contributed 27% of our total revenues during the quarter, reaffirming it as a key growth
engine for the business, reflecting our manufacturing capability with great agility to meet
demands.
Beyond the Induction Cooktop, growth remained healthy across our core categories,
underscoring the resilience and depth of our portfolio. The Pressure Cooker segment grew by
41.3% year-on-year and contributed, to our overall revenues.
Our non-stick cooker recorded robust growth of 21.8% year-on-year, accounting for 21% of our
revenues during the quarter. These performances were supported by strong brand acceptance,
product innovation, expanding distribution reach, consumer inclination towards premium
products, and affordability due to reduction in GST.
While Small Appliances & Gas Cooktop categories witnessed temporary moderation, the small
appliances category was affected by deficiency on the supply side as this was, the lines and other
resources that were allocated to the small appliances were utilized together to the surge in sudden
demand for Induction Cooktop, which now has stabilized with all the additional requirements
for Induction Cooktops in place.
They continue to represent a significant 27.5% of our revenue mix. The sustained growth across
our core categories demonstrates the benefits of our diversified business model, ongoing
premiumization initiatives, and focused investment in product development and market
expansion.
The broad-based growth strengthens our confidence in the sustainability of our growth trajectory
and imposes our ability to deliver consistent value creation over the long term. Premiumization

is emerging as a key growth theme at Stove Kraft as consumer preferences evolve towards higher
value and feature-rich products, we continue to invest in innovation and category creation.
Our focus on introducing differentiated products and other technology-led kitchen solutions is
helping us create new consumer segments while improving product mix and realizations. These
initiatives are not only strengthening our brand positioning but also enabling us to drive industry-
leading growth across categories.
We believe premiumization will continue to be a significant growth lever for the company and
play an important role in driving both revenue growth and margin expansion in the years ahead.
