Management Commentary:

“We are pleased to present comprehensive overview of the performance of the Company this quarter and half year ended September 2024. For the half year, we have reported a stable performance - our volume grew by 5%, and the value grew by 2%. The industry continues to witness aggressive price strategies and resistance for price increase post stabilization of yarn prices. Additionally, demand usually associated with the festive season has partially shifted to Q3 this financial year. We expect improved performance in the coming quarters, with a potential boost from thermal wear sales, athleisure and modern trade business.

Revenues for the quarter stood at Rs. 297 crores, a decline of 1.6% YoY, impacted mainly due to aggressive price strategies vis-à-vis growth in volume by 2%. In terms of sales volumes for the first half of the year, athleisure segment showed a promising growth of 35%. Revenues from Modern Trade also demonstrated a robust growth of 35% in H1 FY25, contributing 7% to the overall revenues. This underscores our strong presence in major online platforms. Additionally, we have also observed a significant growth of 25% in X-factors areas in H1 FY25. This showcases our successful utilization of diverse revenues streams. Exports remained subdued, with export revenue at Rs. 14 crores, contributing 3% to total revenues.

Amidst these challenging conditions, our efforts were focused on efficient working capital management and reducing debt. As on Sept’24 our net debt stands at Rs. 20 crores. Our branding and advertisement expenses as on H1 FY25 stood at Rs. 33 crores which stood at 6.5% of our overall revenues. Our Exclusive Brand Outlet (EBO) count reached 31 stores as of H1 FY25, and we continue to expand our retail footprint to reach a broader customer base.

Looking ahead, we aspire to reach new business milestones and bring innovative products to our diverse range of customer segments. Our commitment to a customer-first approach will be key to reinforcing our leadership in the industry and advancing a sustainable business model.”
