I now hand the conference over to Mr. Amit Purohit from Elara Securities. Thank you, and over
to you, sir.
Amit Purohit: Good morning, everyone. On behalf of Elara Securities, we welcome you all to Senco Gold's
Q1 FY27 Conference Call. I take this opportunity to welcome the management of Senco Gold,
represented by Mr. Suvankar Sen, Managing Director and CEO, and Mr. Sanjay Banka, Group
CFO and Head IR. We will begin the call with a brief overview by management, followed by a
Q&A session.
I will now hand over the call to the management for opening remarks. Over to you, sir.
Suvankar Sen: Thank you very much. A very good morning to all the participants. Ladies and gentlemen, we
are very pleased to inform you that, as we begin financial year 2026-27 with a positive mindset,
we have delivered a strong Q1 performance, achieving record sales and crossing INR3,000
crores in a single quarter.
The momentum achieved in financial year 2025-26 continues. As a growth-oriented company,
we have always believed in beginning the year strongly, and we have tried our level best to
deliver such a performance in the first quarter.
If you look at revenue on a consolidated basis, we have grown by almost 67%. This reflects
continued and renewed customer trust in the brand. At the retail level, we have grown by more
than 50%, which has been a wonderful performance.
We also need to keep in mind that this quarter presented both opportunities and challenges,
especially with almost 65% to 70% of our business coming from Eastern India and West Bengal.
We faced elections during the quarter and therefore had to plan from the previous quarter itself
to ensure strong performance during Poila Boishakh and Akshaya Tritiya.
I am happy to say, and I would like to congratulate my team, that the planning and execution
that began 2-3 months before the quarter started were carried out very well.
We also need to understand that the quarter faced certain headwinds, including Adhik Maas and
the heat wave. Despite this, April was a wonderful month, in which we clocked sales of almost
INR1,500-1,600 crores. In May and June, despite these headwinds, monthly sales moderated to
an average of around INR500-600 crores in each month.
However, there was some support from the summer wedding season, and we continuously
introduced schemes, discounts and offers to keep customers coming into the stores. There were
challenges in terms of footfalls, but our innovative schemes and attractive old gold exchange

programmes helped convert customers' old gold into diamond jewellery sales. Altogether, we
had a wonderful quarter.
Along with retail sales growth of 50% YoY in Q1, our same-store sales growth was almost 39%.
This demonstrates the strong relationships our existing stores continue to maintain with
customers through engagement, innovative designs and new collections.
One observation I would like to make is that, at these high gold prices compared with the last
financial year, customers have shifted towards lightweight, more delicate and design-led
jewellery for daily wear and gifting, rather than simple, standard or old-fashioned jewellery.
We must mention that diamond jewellery sales increased by almost 43% in value and 18% in
volume. This gives a strong signal about design development, the shift in consumer preferences
and the long-term impact these trends could have on margins as we work to increase the stud
ratio.
Another aspect is that lower-ticket-size items were in greater demand. Consumers remained
inclined to buy jewellery despite the headwinds, but they wanted products within their budgets.
We continuously analysed data and consumer trends and offered jewellery accordingly. We kept
building our 9-carat, 14-carat, lower-carat and lightweight jewellery assortment throughout the
quarter.
Another aspect to keep in mind is the old gold exchange, which accounted for almost 43% of
total sales quantity. Following the appeal by our Honourable Prime Minister to reduce gold
imports into the country, I believe the industry collectively made strong efforts to encourage
consumers to exchange their old gold. This also became an important driver of our overall
numbers and helped customers upgrade their old jewellery.
We have seen average gold prices rise by 61% year-on-year and by just 1% quarter-on-quarter.
This has also been one of the drivers of value growth in sales, which has been partly led by the
increase in gold prices.
In terms of new stores added during the quarter, we added 3 company-owned, company-operated
stores, 4 franchise stores and 1 Sennes showroom focused on lab-grown diamonds. The company
remains on track to open another 12 to 15 stores during the remainder of the financial year, and
these are very much in the pipeline. In line with our strategy, the majority of the stores we open
will be franchise stores, with a focus on East and North India. This remains one of our strategic
priorities.
Looking ahead to Q2, Q1 is usually strong because of Akshaya Tritiya, New Year celebrations
across various regions and the summer wedding season. Q3 and Q4 are typically led by
festivities and weddings. Therefore, Q2 is seasonally softer in terms of overall sales.
However, Q2 is the quarter in which we focus on planning and building inventory so that we are
well prepared for the festive season. Another positive development is that, after softer consumer
footfalls and sentiment toward the end of May and in June, we are seeing improvement in the
market.
