Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • Long-term revenue target remains INR 1000 crores, expected by mid-FY'27 (slightly extended from mid-FY'26) with no change in strategy.
  • Recent annual revenue growth slowed from earlier 20-25% predictions due to same-store growth (SSG) issues but expected to recover next year.
  • New stores are performing well, with larger sizes (~1700 sq.ft vs. average 1200 sq.ft) driving better revenue despite flat or muted overall same-store sales.
  • 70-90 new stores planned for next financial year, including 15-20 exclusive women's and kids' stores.
  • Volume sold in latest quarter: ~1.39 million pieces.
  • Nine-month year-on-year volume SSG is slightly negative (-0.5%).
  • Management expects improved demand post-elections and is implementing staff incentives and procurement strategies to boost sales.
  • Footwear category being gradually introduced with positive early response; not planned for all old stores but included in ~70% of new stores.

  • The raised funds are primarily aimed at improving gross margins through better procurement negotiations.
  • The company does not plan to significantly increase the number of stores beyond sustainable growth.
  • No explicit mention of any new or future fundraising through debt or additional equity was made in the call.
  • The focus remains on sustainable growth with existing resources and strategic use of raised capital to enhance margins.

  • Investment for women's and kids' stores is around INR 50 lakh per store, while men's and family stores require about INR 65 lakh per store.
  • Manufacturing capacity is being enhanced from approximately 15 lakh pieces to around 18-20 lakh pieces by the end of the current financial year.
  • The company does not plan to expand footwear to all stores but will include it in about 70% of new larger stores.
