Quarter read
What the record says.
Titan delivered a strong Q2 FY24, driven by jewellery segment growth of 27% in consumer price terms, with Tanishq like-for-like growth at 22% and CaratLane at 10%. The quarter benefited from formalization tailwinds, market share gains, and a favorable studded mix. Management highlighted the acquisition of the remaining CaratLane stake, funded via INR 2,500 crore debentures at a blended rate of 7.74%. Diamond price corrections in solitaires may cause minor margin dilution over 6-8 months, but overall jewellery margin guidance remains 12%-13%. Risks include potential demand dampening from gold price volatility and uncertainty around lab-grown diamond disruption in India.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management reiterated the full-year margin band for the jewellery division, expecting 12%-13% despite potential diamond price headwinds.
- Zoya currently has 8 stores; management expects to add 6-7 more standalone stores before next Diwali, reaching about 15.
- Management expects CaratLane's margins to recover as growth normalizes and fixed cost leverage improves.
Risks flagged
- A 10% rise in gold prices post-October 10 has caused some sluggishness; further jumps could spook customers.
- Solitaire diamond prices have fallen, and inventory held at higher costs could reduce margins over 6-8 months, though management deems it immaterial.
- Analyst raised concern about lab-grown diamonds gaining share; management acknowledged the trend in the US but sees no near-term impact in India.
- CaratLane's like-for-like growth of 10% lagged Tanishq's 22%, partly due to rapid store expansion cannibalizing existing stores.
Key quotes
- We are quite excited to be now in the next wave of growth, CaratLane, and given the profile of Indian consumers, their digitalization, their accessorization, their desiring to buy the right kind of lifestyle products, CaratLane is positioned exceedingly well to capitalize on that opportunity.
- Actually, we are benefiting when competition is putting stores next to us, as opposed to worrying. In fact, now more and more people I meet on the ground are saying that, 'Let those brands come and put stores next to us, actually it will help us.'
- Full year, I think we are being consistent for last couple of years. 12%-13% is a good margin band for jewellery division, to aspire for and deliver for.
