Cello World reported a modest 6% YoY revenue growth to ₹529 crore in Q1 FY26, missing expectations due to early rains impacting the hydration category and continued weakness in writing instruments and furniture. Consumerware grew 12% YoY, driven by a 50% surge in glassware, though the glass plant operated at only 65% efficiency and remained loss-making, dragging overall profitability. EBITDA margin contracted ~200bps YoY to 24% as input cost inflation, inability to raise prices, and higher sales promotions weighed. Management guided for 12-15% full-year revenue growth and ~23% EBITDA margin, banking on festive season demand and ramp-up in glassware and steel flask capex. Key risk: competitive intensity and demand slowdown may further pressure margins, especially if the glassware breakeven target slips.
सेलो वर्ल्ड ने पहली तिमाही में 6% ज्यादा कमाई की, जो 529 करोड़ रुपये रही। यह उम्मीद से कम है क्योंकि जल्दी बारिश ने पानी की बोतलों की बिक्री को प्रभावित किया और लिखने के सामान व फर्नीचर की मांग कमजोर रही। घरेलू सामान की बिक्री 12% बढ़ी, जिसमें कांच के बर्तनों की बिक्री 50% उछली। लेकिन कांच का कारखाना सिर्फ 65% क्षमता पर चला और घाटे में रहा, जिससे मुनाफा कम हुआ। कंपनी की कमाई पर खर्च का अनुपात (EBITDA मार्जिन) 24% रहा, जो पिछले साल से 2% कम है। इसकी वजह कच्चे माल के बढ़े दाम, कीमतें न बढ़ा पाना और ज्यादा छूट देना है। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि पूरे साल कमाई 12-15% बढ़ेगी और मार्जिन 23% रहेगा। लेकिन प्रतिस्पर्धा और कमजोर मांग से मुनाफा और गिर सकता है।
