over to you, sir.
P. Sundararajan: Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us for the Q1 FY27 Earnings Conference
Call of S.P. Apparels Limited. I'm pleased to inform our shareholders that the Board has
approved a dividend of INR 3 per share for the year and has also proposed a stock split of the
company's equity shares from a face value of INR 10 per share to INR 2 per share, subject to
the necessary approval.
We believe these initiatives reflect our commitment to enhancing shareholder value and
broadening investor participation in the company. The global apparel sourcing landscape
continues to undergo a structural shift. International brands and retailers are increasingly
diversifying their sourcing base as part of their China Plus-One and Bangladesh Plus-One
strategies. We are seeing encouraging signs of this transition with customers actively evaluating
India and Sri Lanka as reliable sourcing destinations for long-term procurement requirements.
Another important positive for our business is the India, U.K. free trade agreement. While the
agreement has only recently become effective, customer engagement from the U.K. market has
already improved. We are seeing stronger discussions and better visibility for future order
volumes. We believe this development will strengthen India's competitiveness and create
additional opportunities for export-oriented manufacturers like S.P. Apparels.
We have added three more new U.K. brands into our customer base. We are also awaiting for
the EU India free trade agreement to be signed off by end of financial year, which will bring
more business into India by Euro Union in the future.

Coming to our performance, Q1 FY27 was broadly stable from a consolidated revenue
perspective, while profitability improved meaningfully. The first quarter was relatively soft
from a top line perspective, U.S. tariff impact late last quarter and certain spillover of orders
and shipment schedules.
However, the quarter clearly demonstrates the resilience of our operating model with better
margins, stronger profitability and improved quality of earnings. As we had communicated
earlier, FY27 is expected to be a year where growth will be weighted towards the second half.
Based on current customer discussions, our receipt order visibility, expected capacity ramp-up
and planned utilization levels, we remain confident of achieving our previously stated
consolidating revenue guidance of INR 2,000 crores for FY27. The first half is expected to
remain moderate, but we expect a stronger revenue trajectory in the second half, supported by
improved customer order inflows, U.K. FTA-related traction, normalization of shipment
schedules and better operating intensity across our key business verticals.
Coming to the business segments, I will begin with our Garment division, which remains the
primary growth driver for the company. The quarter was moderate from a revenue perspective,
but profitability remained strong and we saw better operating efficiencies, improved product
mix and healthy yarn spreads, which supported margin expansion. The standalone adjusted
EBITDA margin improved to 17.5%, indicating better operating discipline despite softer
revenue.
We are also witnessing increasing customer interest across multiple geographies. Over the last
few quarters, we have broadened our customer base and today operate with a more diversified
customer portfolio of over 15 customers as a group. This reduces concentration risk and
improves visibility for future growth.
Our focus remains on converting this customer engagement into orders while continuing to
maintain strong execution, quality and delivery standards. Sri Lanka continues to be an
important strategic pillar for the company. Over the past 1.5 years, we have worked extensively
to integrate operations, strengthen systems and improve execution across the platform.
We are now beginning to see the benefits of these efforts. Operational metrics relating to
delivery performance, productivity and quality continue to improve, and we expect the facility
to operate at levels comparable to our Indian operations over the coming quarters. The dual
country manufacturing platform between India and Sri Lanka gives our customers greater
sourcing flexibility. It also strengthens our ability to participate in the ongoing China Plus-One
and Bangladesh Plus-One sourcing shifts.
We believe the decision to establish a meaningful manufacturing presence in Sri Lanka has been
one of the most strategically important decisions undertaken by the company from a long-term
growth perspective. With regard to Young Brand Apparel, although revenue was lower year-
on-year due to after effects of U.S. tariff issues, the business delivered better profitability with
adjusted EBITDA growing year-on-year and sequentially.

This reflects better efficiency, better cost management and improved operating performance.
We continue to make progress in scaling Young Brand Apparel. Production has commenced at
the Palladum facility, while commercial production from another approved facility is expected
to begin in the coming months.
By October, we expect al
