Signal: Margin pressure
The read
The underlying business accelerated to 30.1% YoY growth excluding ₹90.6 crore of bullion sales, and Owned Brands EBITDA margin expanded 140bps to 11.5%, but group gross margin contracted 749bps to 21.5% and EBITDA margin fell 133bps to 6.4%, reversing the flat-margin stabilization seen in Q4FY26; the ₹25.39 crore PAT was also helped by the absence of the prior-year ₹12.0 crore restructuring charge and ₹8.77 crore of other income.

P&L walk
Consolidated revenue increased to ₹780.45 crore, +47.2% YoY, but COGS rose 63.1% and gross margin fell 749bps to 21.5%; EBITDA grew 21.7% to ₹49.69 crore while margin contracted 133bps to 6.4%, and PAT growth to ₹25.39 crore was amplified by the absence of the ₹12.0 crore prior-year restructuring charge and non-operating other income.
Segments
Owned Brands were the strongest disclosed growth and margin engine, with revenue up 28.8% to ₹88.5 crore and EBITDA up 46.6% to ₹10.1 crore at an 11.5% margin, while Licensed Brands revenue rose only 7.0% and EBITDA fell 14.6% to ₹7.9 crore; consolidated PAT of ₹25.39 crore was more than twice standalone PAT of ₹10.16 crore.
Key positives
- Underlying revenue excluding bullion sales grew 30.1% YoY to ₹689.8 crore, sustaining the strong growth momentum from Q4FY26's 50.4% reported growth.
- Owned Brands EBITDA increased 46.6% YoY to ₹10.1 crore and margin expanded 140bps to 11.5%, materially ahead of the consolidated 6.4% EBITDA margin.
- Employee expenses declined 9.2% YoY to ₹25.9 crore despite 47.2% consolidated revenue growth, supporting EBITDA growth of 21.7% to ₹49.69 crore.
- The company plans four additional Jean Dousset U.S. stores after the San Francisco opening, taking the targeted FY27 network to seven locations.
Key concerns
- Gross margin fell 749bps YoY to 21.5% as COGS rose 63.1%, faster than revenue growth of 47.2%; the company did not disclose the reason for the input-cost deterioration.
- EBITDA margin declined 133bps YoY to 6.4%, extending the margin weakness after the OPM contraction seen in Q1FY26, Q2FY26 and Q3FY26 despite Q4FY26 stabilization.
- Licensed Brands EBITDA fell 14.6% to ₹7.9 crore and margin declined to 10.9% from 13.6%, indicating uneven performance across the portfolio.
- The ₹25.39 crore consolidated PAT includes ₹8.77 crore of other income, equal to 29.5% of PBT, and benefited from the absence of the prior-year ₹12.0 crore restructuring charge.
