Full analysisRevenue guidance
Category 3- →US market: Revenue growth in the current quarter expected due to extended US summer; muted sales in the following two quarters as coolers are seasonal products used mainly in summer. Robust summers expected to drive significant sales growth in FY27.
- →Mexico: Two consecutive mild summers in FY25 and FY26 led to weak sales; a robust summer anticipated in FY27, likely resulting in significant growth.
- →China (GSK): Steady growth expected driven by industrial coolers and exports; momentum to continue based on export order inflows.
- →India domestic market: 15% revenue growth seen despite inventory overhang; modern trade and digital channels growing over 100%, with huge scaling potential.
- →Australia: Revenue continues to soften; no additional capital planned; maintaining business with efficiencies but no major growth drivers currently.
- →Export shipments: Still facing some logistics and geopolitical disruptions, especially in the Middle East, limiting full normalization.
- →Overall, growth is expected to be seasonal and region-specific with optimism for FY27 driven by improved weather and demand normalization.
