Quarter read
What the record says.
BlueStone delivered a landmark quarter with its first reported net profit of ₹71.5 crore, driven by 27.4% YoY revenue growth to ₹748 crore and a 12.1% pre-indebtedness EBITDA margin. The sharp improvement in profitability reflects strong operating leverage as store cohorts mature, with FY19-20 stores generating ₹1.2 crore per store per month. Contribution margin expanded 333 bps YoY to 33.3% despite a lower studded mix, aided by manufacturing efficiencies and scale benefits. Management guided for continued margin expansion as younger cohorts catch up to mature store productivity. December exit revenue growth of ~35% YoY and mid-teens same-store sales growth signal accelerating momentum into Q4. Risk: Sustaining profitability if gold price volatility shifts demand further toward low-margin commodity products.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects to add around 70 stores in FY26, consistent with historical run rate.
- Management guided that A&P as a percentage of sales will be pegged at approximately 6% going forward.
- Based on current trends, Q4 revenue is estimated to be in the range of ₹620-630 crore, implying ~35% YoY growth.
Risks flagged
- Sharp rise in gold prices drove market demand toward commodity and investment categories (coins, chains) where BlueStone is under-indexed, potentially impacting revenue mix and growth.
- Analyst noted BlueStone's reported growth (27.4%) was lower than peers; management attributed this to reporting only retail sales vs primary sales, but the gap may persist.
- Analyst raised concern about potential P&L impact from mark-to-market on hedge positions; management clarified hedging protects P&L, but complexity may cause investor confusion.
Key quotes
- We delivered our first quarter of reported net profit, a clear inflection point in the evolution of our business model.
- This quarter clearly demonstrates the operating leverage embedded in our model. There is potential room to expand EBITDA significantly ahead of revenues.
- It's not about cost excellence, it is about absolute operating leverage. The flow through rates are way higher than you would see in any other player.
