V2 Retail Ltd

- V2 Retail does not need to raise funds to open 100 stores this year; internal accruals are sufficient. (Page 5) - If the company decides to increase the store opening guidance beyond 100 stores and wants to maintain performance and return ratios, then it might consider raising some capital. (Page 5) - There is no explicit mention of plans for debt fundraising; the company can also manage cash flow via stopping bill discounting facilities if needed to use credit limits for expansion. (Page 16) - The company is confident about internal accruals covering expansion, with no immediate equity or debt fundraise planned. (Page 16 and 5)

- Current year (FY25) CAPEX for store openings is about INR 220 crores for 100 stores (INR 110 crores CAPEX + INR 110-120 crores inventory). - Warehouse CAPEX: Approximately INR 20 crores per 1 lakh sq ft warehouse; current warehouse capacity can service 70-80 stores; new zonal warehouse finalized in Calcutta. - Future store expansion plan: Targeting 100 new stores annually for next 4-5 years, primarily funded through internal accruals. - Strategic investment includes optimization in subsidiary (V2 Smart), reducing capital intensity by outsourcing manufacturing to vendor partners, improving cost efficiency. - Inventory efficiency efforts include reducing safety stock days by 6-7 days (from 30 days) through better vendor planning and on-time deliveries. - Potential further reduction in subsidiary investment by INR 25-30 crores. - No immediate need for raising funds, but plan to raise capital only if store opening acceleration compromises performance or return ratios.

- Targeting to open 100 new stores annually over the next 4-5 years, driving rapid expansion. - Revenue growth guidance for FY26 and FY27 is 45% to 50%, driven by both new stores and same store sales growth (SSSG) of 8% to 10%. - Expected same store sales growth to normalize to 8%-10% after strong performance of 29% SSSG in FY25. - Volume growth remains strong, with 43% growth in FY25, supported by increased store count and product acceptance. - Store-level EBITDA margins are expected to be in the range of 8%-9% pre-IndAS for FY26; slight operating leverage anticipated. - Continued focus on inventory efficiency and reducing safety stock to improve cash flow and working capital. - Long-term confidence in the large addressable market and consumption growth in India as key growth drivers.

- Revenue growth guidance for FY26 & FY27 is 45% to 50%, driven by new stores and 8% to 10% same-store sales growth (SSSG). - EBITDA margin expected to be around 8% to 9% (pre-IndAS) with slight operating leverage from expanding store base. - EBITDA growth to be stable with new stores initially having 20%-25% lower per square feet sales than mature stores, limiting margin expansion to within ~1%. - PAT expected to be positive in all quarters going forward. - ROE currently at 23%, reflecting strong capital efficiency with payback period of ~4 years on store investments. - Internal accruals sufficient to fund opening 100 stores yearly; possibility of raising funds if store opening guidance is increased. - Operating leverage expected due to fixed head office and warehouse costs being spread over larger retail space. Overall, sustainable profit and margin growth is targeted with profitable store expansion and controlled costs.
