Quarter read
What the record says.
Kalyan Jewellers delivered a strong Q1 FY24 with consolidated revenue of ₹4,376 crore (+31% YoY) and PAT of ₹144 crore (+33% YoY). India revenue grew 34% to ₹3,641 crore, driven by robust footfalls and a 36%+ share of new customers. Non-South revenue share rose to 44% (from 35% last year), reflecting successful expansion. The Middle East business grew 21% to ₹700 crore, supported by strong economic activity. Management remains bullish despite a temporary wedding demand pause due to Adhik Maas, expecting demand to return post-August 17. The company is on track to open 52 new showrooms (mostly franchise) before Diwali and plans to launch 20+ Candere stores. Key risk: sustained gold price volatility could impact consumer sentiment and margins.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Plan to open 52 franchisee showrooms in Non-South markets, with most openings before Diwali.
- Candere to launch over 20 physical showrooms starting August, mostly on franchise model.
- First franchise showroom in Middle East to open before end of September quarter.
- Plan to reduce cash credit limit by ₹300 crore, aided by aircraft sale proceeds (~₹100 crore net).
Risks flagged
- Wedding-related demand slowed after mid-July due to Adhik Maas (once in 3 years), which may shift revenue to Q3.
- Employee expenses grew 45% YoY due to pre-hiring for expansion and ESOP costs, potentially pressuring margins.
- Global macroeconomic uncertainty could cause gold price swings, affecting consumer demand and inventory gains.
- Candere revenue declined 23% YoY as it shifts to omni-channel; offline store ramp-up may take time.
Key quotes
- The quarter was a fantastic quarter, and we witnessed continued robust momentum in footfalls across all our markets in India and Middle East over the last several quarters now.
- We are extremely bullish on Q2 as well, because momentum is very strong and weekends are strong.
- We think that this demand is not going to go away. It's an Adhik Maas related, wedding demand revenue loss, which is not a loss, it is only a timing issue.
