- No plans for a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) or any equity fundraising for expansion. - Expansion (20-30 stores planned for FY '25) will be funded through internal cash flows and existing debt lines. - Approximately INR 20 crore of capex funds raised during the IPO in 2022 remain available for further expansion. - Comfortable with current funding sources; no requirement for additional fundraising noted. - Expected debt levels to remain stable, with no significant increase even after adding new stores in H2 FY '25.

- Current capex: Approximately INR 20 crores remaining from the IPO capex raised in 2022, available for further expansion. - Expansion plans: Targeting 20 to 30 new store openings in FY '25, funded through internal cash flows and existing debt lines. - No plans for QIP or external capital raising for funding new stores; internal resources are sufficient. - Focus on organic growth in Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4 towns with smaller store sizes and differentiated marketing strategies. - Exclusive brand outlets (EBO) are not a key growth strategy; only 1-2 EBO stores may open based on brand recommendations (e.g., Samsung, LG, Apple). - Investment strategy emphasizes expanding presence in Delhi-NCR and strengthening existing markets without increasing debt substantially.

- H1 FY '25 revenue grew by 13% year-on-year to INR 3,361 crores; full-year revenue growth guidance is 15%-18%. - Same-store sales growth for H1 FY '25 stood at 6%. - North cluster sales are growing positively, with expectations to further improve margins and EBITDA in 12-14 months. - Mature stores show low single-digit growth (1%-3%); newer stores (under 24 months) are expected to grow at 18%-30%. - Expansion strategy includes opening 25-30 new stores yearly, building presence especially in the Delhi-NCR region. - Increased demand expected driven by rising GDP per capita, disposable income, and shift toward premium electronics and top brands. - Large appliances category showing strong growth (46% in Q2, 24% Y-o-Y). - Expectation of additional sales (INR 100-150 crores) in Q4 during early summer season. - Overall, growth is expected to be steady with focus on optimizing inventory and improving operational leverage.

- North cluster is expected to improve and align margins with the South cluster, with positive EBITDA anticipated by Q3/Q4 FY25. - Newer stores, especially in NCR, are in the early stages with operational breakeven expected within 12-14 months, contributing to growth thereafter. - Mature stores typically grow at 1-3% annually unless cannibalized by newer stores; newer stores target 18-30% growth initially, stabilizing at ~7-10% EBITDA margins over time. - Overall revenue growth was 13% YoY for H1 FY25, with a 5% increase in EBITDA; future seasonal upticks, especially in Q4, are expected to contribute incremental sales (~INR 100-150 crores). - Focus on premium products and top 5 brands is driving demand, supporting margin stabilization. - Wage and rental cost inflation are challenges but expected to be managed; gradual operational leverage is anticipated as newer markets mature. - Full-year guidance includes adding 25-30 new stores, which should support continued growth in earnings and operating profits.
