High receivable days from distribution channel
Despite improvement to 128 days, receivable days remain high due to the distribution business. Shift to retail is expected to reduce this, but transition risk exists.
Execution risk in scaling to 200+ stores
Doubling store count in one year requires significant capital, real estate, and operational bandwidth. Any slowdown could impact revenue growth targets.
Competition from international and domestic brands
Increasing focus on kids' fashion by brands like Gap, Nike, and FirstCry could intensify competition and pressure margins.
