Quarter read
What the record says.
Titan reported standalone revenue growth of ~17% YoY for Q4 FY24, with jewelry margins under pressure due to elevated gold prices and competitive intensity. Management acknowledged a ~110 bps YoY decline in jewelry EBIT margin, attributing it to customer offers and a temporary gross margin impact from rapid gold price increases. The watches division saw wearables revenue growth of only 3% despite volume doubling, reflecting severe pricing pressure. Management reiterated a 12-13% jewelry EBIT margin target but noted near-term headwinds. International jewelry revenue reached $120 million for the full year. Key risks include sustained margin compression from gold volatility and potential disruption from lab-grown diamonds, though management sees no immediate impact. Guidance remains focused on aggressive growth, with margin recovery expected in H2 FY25.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management reiterated the 12-13% EBIT margin range for jewelry, despite near-term pressures from gold price volatility and competitive intensity.
- Management aims for aggressive growth in jewelry, though declined to specify a number; 20% growth was implied as a benchmark.
- Suparna Mitra expects excess inventory-driven discounting in wearables to settle in 3-4 months, with new launches from May onwards supporting pricing.
- Management plans to expand international jewelry stores from 16 to around 30 across North America and GCC.
Risks flagged
- Elevated gold prices are impacting gross margins and may continue to pressure jewelry EBIT margins, with recovery expected only in H2.
- Analyst raised concern about lab-grown diamonds disrupting high-value studded jewelry; management acknowledged monitoring but sees no near-term impact.
- Wearables revenue grew only 3% despite volume doubling, indicating severe pricing pressure that may persist and drag overall watches margins.
- Management expects competitive intensity to continue as organized and local players defend market share, potentially limiting margin recovery.
Key quotes
- We have made clear choices of pushing for growth and aggressive growth. And if margins do take a hit, we are willing to do that.
- I think we are entering a regime where everybody is going to intensely defend their turf. And therefore, in our mind, we assume that competitive intensity is going to continue to be the way it is.
- We are keeping our eyes and ears open. We are, in fact, doing active tracks. We are in touch with consumers. And we are trying to see, if any, where are the early adopters emerging from.
