What the record says.
Purple United Sales delivered a strong FY26 with revenue of ₹170 crore (+65% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹36.58 crore (+76% YoY), driven by retail expansion from 43 to 111 stores and a 70% jump in retail channel contribution to 40% of revenue. Same-store sales for 14 mature stores grew 26% YoY, while average monthly sales per mature store rose from ₹4 lakh to ₹9 lakh. Management guided for doubling store count to 200+ in FY27 and expects to double revenue year-on-year for the next two years. E-commerce revamp (Shopify migration) drove 59% QoQ growth, targeting 12-14% contribution. Key risk: inventory days remain elevated due to seasonality and new store pre-stocking, though management expects improvement with retail planning software.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management targets doubling retail footprint from 111 stores to over 200 stores in the current financial year.
- Management stated it is 'easily achievable' to double top line on a year-on-year basis for the next two years.
- Management expects e-commerce (D2C + marketplace) to contribute 12-14% of overall revenue in FY27, up from ~2% in FY26.
- Management expects the company to become operationally cash flow positive within the next 12 to 18 months.
Risks flagged
- Inventory days stood at 156 days in March (vs 123 in Dec), driven by season launch and pre-stocking for new stores. High inventory ties up working capital and risks obsolescence.
- 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.
- Doubling store count in one year requires significant capital, real estate, and operational bandwidth. Any slowdown could impact revenue growth targets.
- Increasing focus on kids' fashion by brands like Gap, Nike, and FirstCry could intensify competition and pressure margins.
Key quotes
- We are very hopeful that we'll be able to overachieve whatever we have committed so far.
- We are focusing on depth instead of width because the radius of the display capacity is very much.
- We are very hopeful that we should be operationally cash positive maybe another 12 to 18 months.
