Coming to the business:
We started FY27 on a positive note with revenue growing by 10% witnessing steady momentum
across the portfolio. Healthy volume traction remained a key driver of growth during the quarter.
While the value segment was a key contributor to the growth during the quarter, based on our
historical revenue trend, we believed the momentum to broaden across other segments as we
progressed through the year, translating into a broader and more balanced growth profile.
Exports contributed 4% to overall revenue during the quarter while modern trade including e-
commerce contributed 5% to the revenues. Both these channels continued to gain traction and
provide meaningful opportunities to further scale our market presence and expand our reach.
EBITDA stood at Rs 15.7 crores with EBITDA margin of 7.8% supported by stable operating
performance. The company maintained a net cash surplus of Rs. 7 crores as at June, 2026
reflecting its continued focus on liquidity, discipline and financial flexibility.
On the raw material side:
Yarn prices are currently on an upward trajectory creating a favorable pricing environment for
the company. While competitive intensity remains elevated, we continue to adopt the calibrated
pricing approach with the objective of progressively translating the favorable pricing
environment into improved utilizations and margins. With healthy volume momentum,
expanding channels, disciplined cost management and an improving pricing environment, we
remain optimistic about the outlook with revenue expected to grow by 10% to 12% in the coming
quarter and EBITDA margin expected to remain in the range of 9% to 10%.
With this I would like to handover to our CFO – Mr. Sumit Khowala to take through the financial
highlights of the company. Thank you.
Sumit Khowala: Thank you sir and good afternoon to everyone. Thank you for joining us on Quarter 1 FY27
Earnings Call.
I will now take you through the key financial highlights for the quarter:
For Q1 FY27, revenues from operations stood at Rs. 202.4 crores as compared to Rs. 183.9
crores in Quarter 1 FY26 registering a growth of 10.1% year-on-year basis. Gross margin
remained stable during the quarter stood at 37.4% versus 37.7% corresponding quarter last year.
EBITDA for the quarter stood at Rs. 15.7 crores as compared to Rs. 12.2 crores in the same
period last year registering a growth of 29.1% year-on-year basis. EBITDA margin for the
quarter stood at 7.8% improved by 120 basis point year-on-year.
Net profit after tax for the quarter stood at Rs. 8.3 crores as against Rs. 5.5 crores in Quarter 1
FY26, registering a growth of 50.2% year-on-year basis. PAT margin for the quarter stood at
4.1% improving by 110 basis point year-on-year basis.

reflecting our continued focus on liquidity discipline and financial flexibility. We remain
committed towards improving profitability through better product mix, efficient channel
management, focused investment in high growth categories and disciplined cost optimization
initiatives.
With this, I conclude my remarks and open the floor for the question-and-answer session. Thank
you.
Moderator: Thank you very much. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. The first question
is from the line of Pahal Sharma from DD Capital. Please go ahead.
Pahal Sharma: Thanks for the opportunity. My question is that during the last quarter, you had guided for 10%
to 12% revenue growth and also 9% to 10% of EBITDA margins. So, my question is that what
are the key reasons for the shortfall in EBITDA margins versus your guidance?
Sumit Khowala: During Quarter 1, the advertisement and marketing spend comes to around 10.5% of the total
revenue and going forward, the same would be rationalized to 6% to 7%. So, this would help in
achieving the desired level of EBITDA.
Pahal Sharma: Thank you. That's all from my side.
Moderator: Thank you. The next question comes from the line
