Material risks this quarter

Gross margin pressure from e-commerce accounting changes

Flipkart/Myntra changed mid-year how rebates are accounted for—now adjusted against top line rather than recognized as other income. While net P&L impact is nil, it distorts reported gross margins and complicates peer comparisons.

Raw material inflation post-September 2026

Management acknowledged cost pressures but noted 6-month PO-to-production cycle provides 6-month cost coverage. Any raw material volatility will impact from September 2026 onwards. No price increases planned currently.

medium

Payable days reduction unexplained

Analyst explicitly asked about sharp reduction in payable days from ~90+ days to 55 days versus last year. Management deferred the question: 'We will have to come back on this.' This remains an unresolved balance sheet item.

medium

Apparel segment margins undisclosed

Analyst asked for category-level margin breakdown (footwear vs apparel). Management declined: 'We have not calculated margin as per the category because everything for us is under the same umbrella.' Unable to assess apparel profitability or cross-subsidization.
