revenue

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- The company aims to move from negative same-store sales growth (SSSG) to flattish and then to low single-digit growth by improving store productivity and throughput. - Growth will be supported by sharper execution at stores, new product launches, and enhanced engagement with a younger audience. - Footfall improvement is a key focus, with initiatives like influencer collaborations to boost brand visibility. - Store expansion remains calibrated and selective, targeting high-potential markets with a net addition of 60-70 stores expected in FY '26. - The company plans to scale its new Daily Wear concept from 6 to about 10 stores by March 2026. - Relocations and upgradation of smaller stores to larger formats are expected to support growth. - Overall sales growth and volume improvement are expected to stabilize and improve along with operational efficiency enhancements in the coming quarters.

margin

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

- Management is cautious on store expansion due to current negative same-store sales growth (SSSG) of around -5%; focus is on recovery before aggressive growth. - No specific guidance on exact store openings for next year; openings expected to be selective and tied to SSSG recovery (potentially mid-single-digit positive SSSG before accelerated expansion). - Gross margin is stable at ~62-64%, with no expectation of expansion; EBITDA margin growth depends on sales improvement, better SSSG, and lower operating costs as % of revenue. - EBITDA margins may face pressure in near term due to negative leverage from immature new stores and slow recovery. - Emphasis on improving same-store sales from negative to flattish, then to low single digits, supported by better execution and customer experience. - Inventory levels and capital allocation remain disciplined to ensure profitability and ROCE accretion. - Overall, gradual growth in earnings/profits/EPS expected aligned with improved sales and operational efficiencies, not through margin expansion.
