Key positives
- Revenue increased to 26,321.29 lakh, +16.7% YoY, led by yarn revenue growth of 18.7% to 19,252.50 lakh.

Key concerns
- Garment revenue declined 3.7% YoY to 3,864.59 lakh and its segment result deteriorated from a 24.11 lakh profit to a 276.80 lakh loss.
- PAT of 598.02 lakh was materially supported by other income of 573.36 lakh, equal to 107.7% of PBT, so the bottom-line recovery was not fully operating-led.
- Raw-material cost increased to 64.7% of revenue from 61.6% YoY even as gross margin expanded, making the margin improvement difficult to validate from the disclosed cost structure.
