- The company targets profitability growth of 25%-30% annually for the next 2-3 years (Page 8). - FY27 profitability growth is expected in the range of 20%-30%, supported by increased contribution from the direct-to-consumer (D2C) segment and improved efficiencies (Page 4). - EBITDA margins in the D2C business are projected between 15%-20% as the business scales to INR1,000 crores by FY29 (Pages 4 and 8). - The U.S. D2C revenues are expected to grow organically by 35%-40% to INR375 crores by FY27 (Page 4). - The company aims to grow the direct-to-consumer business robustly while improving profitability and return ratios through brand expansion and selective acquisitions (Page 4). - Continued operational excellence and cost optimization initiatives are driving 22.5% EBITDA growth (FY26) and underpinning strong earnings quality and scalability (Page 5).
