BlueStone – Q1 FY27 Management Commentary
Key Financial Highlights
Q1 FY27
Revenue Pre-IndAS EBITDA Pre-IndAS EBITDA Margin
₹7,332 Mn ₹548 Mn 7.5%
▲ 48.8% YoY ▲ 134.6% YoY ▲ 273 bps YoY
Q: How has the business performed this quarter?
A: Q1FY27 marks a strong start to the year, with 49% YoY (retail sales) growth and
revenue of INR 7,332mn, supported by our expanding portfolio with deepening
consumer relevance. The growth was driven by strong SSSGs across cohorts. We
continued to expand our consumer base by 21% YoY and our repeat consumers
continued to support AOV expansion.
The Indian consumer's evolving preferences — spanning design sensibility, brand
consciousness, and seamless omni -channel access — are reshaping the jewellery
market. Our performance reflects the strength of our positioning: a differentiated
proposition bui lt around lifestyle and occasion -driven jewellery, delivered at price
points that resonate with today's aspirational buyer. For the quarter our studded
revenue share improved from 55% in the previous quarter to 57% in the current
quarter.
The shape of the growth matters as much as the rate. Revenue grew 48.8% while our
cost base grew at a materially slower pace, so Pre -IndAS EBITDA rose 134.6% to INR
548mn — close to three times the rate of revenue growth — taking operating margin
to 7.5%, an expansion of 273bps YoY. That is the operating leverage established
through FY26 carrying into the new fiscal .
Q: What is driving robust same -store sales growth (SSSG) performance?
A: We delivered a solid SSSG performance this quarter with a growth of 39%, ahead of
growth seen in Q4FY26. This is particularly noteworthy as it came despite the
increase in customs duty on gold from 6% to 15%. Older store cohorts continue to post
SSSG in line with, or ahead of, the overall portfolio — reflecting the broad -based
nature of SSSG and highlighting the continued headroom to grow per -store revenues
across all cohorts.
SSSG isn't just growth, it's the most margin -accretive growth — it arrives on a cost
base that is already in place.
Q1 FY27
Management Commentary
Q. How has the distribution progress been this quarter?
A: We continued to scale our distribution network with the addition of 12 stores this
quarter, taking our total presence to 352 stores as of June 2026. Our city coverage
expanded from 134 cities as of Mar26 to 139 cities as at Jun26, with all 5 new cities
being Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. This is consistent with our earlier commentary on
there being enough room to grow; both in terms of expanding city coverage and
deepening density in existing ones. There is still a large product market gap beyond
metros — revenue productivity and unit economics in these markets remain robust,
and our omni -channel model continues to give us the ability to tap into these
markets and drive deeper density. Store additions will not be linear across quarters;
we remain well on track to achieve our stated distribution objectives for the year.
Q1 FY27 Q4 FY26 Q1 FY26
No. of stores 352 340 292
No. of cities 139 134 122
Q: Given the strong growth performance in the quarter, can you talk about the
underlying consumer demand trends?
A: Overall demand trends remain intact. We did see some demand hold back in May
following the customs duty increase, but this normalised through June. At a strategic
level we remain focussed on delivering differentiated designs, broader selection
across ca tegories and price points, and an omnichannel consumer experience.
Repeat consumers — now 59.7% of revenues — continued to transact through the
price volatility, demonstrating our ability to serve, retain and grow with our
consumers.
That repeat share is itself a source of efficiency: revenue from consumers already in
our fold is acquired at a fraction of the cost of a new consumer, so a rising repeat
base supports both the resilience of demand and the leverage in our cost structure.
Q: A&P was a bit higher at 6.9% of sales this quarter – Does it change the outlook
for A&P investment?
A: A&P was flat year -on-year at 6.9% of sales, on a revenue base that is nearly 50%
larger — so in percentage terms the ratio held while the business scaled substantially.
The sequential movement from 6.1% reflects seasonality and event timing, with the
IPL falling within this quarter.
We wouldn't read a change of direction into it. Our A&P spend carries healthy
embedded operating leverage, and our directional outlook remains unchanged — as
revenue scales, A&P amortises over a larger base. In absolute terms, A&P investment
will continue to grow, as the expanding revenue base creates room for more
strategic, long -term investments.

Management Commentary
Q: Can you talk us through the Pre -IndAS EBITDA performance?
A: Pre -IndAS EBITDA was INR 548mn, up 134.6% YoY, with margin at 7.5% — an
expansion of 273bps YoY. EBITDA grew at close to three times the rate of revenue, as
revenue scaled against a cost base that grew far more slowly.
Our fixed cost base has still not been fully absorbed, and continued build of revenue
scale will continue to support operating leverage driven margin expansion
structurally. This performance is in line with the growth -versus -profitability balance
we've flagged in past commentary and sets a strong base to execute on through this
year.

Pre IndAS EBITDA 548 509 233
Pre IndAS EBITDA margin % 7.5% 7.4% 4.7%
Q: Given strong growth momentum how do we see EBITDA performance
translating at net profit level?
A: Similar to Pre -IndAS EBITDA , as our business scales further, adjusted PAT gives a
clear directional trend of net profit performance. Our adjusted PAT for the quarter
stood at INR 138mn (1.9%), a meaningful turnaround from a loss of INR 213mn in
Q1FY26. This demonstrates that the business scale and operating leverage we have
spoken about in earlier commentary is now flowing through the bottom line.

Q: Any store closures in the quarter?
A: No.
PS: We don’t consider relocations in an area as closure.
