Stores over 3 years showed revenue per store declining from Rs 7 lakh to Rs 6.85 lakh, while 2-3 year cohort flattened at Rs 3.9 lakh. Management attributed this to store expansion but unit economics trajectory is under stress.
Total employee cost jumped to Rs 53 crore with per-store cost of Rs 65,000-80,000 monthly including pipeline stores. Analyst raised concern that despite similar pipeline in prior quarters, cost spike was unusually high this quarter.
Whole-time director remuneration increased ~43% from Rs 42 lakh to Rs 60 lakh per person, plus 1.1% commission on consolidated turnover (approximately Rs 1.44 crore in Q3 alone). Analyst questioned linking incentives to net profit rather than revenue when company is loss-making.
Management targets 17-20% EBITDA margins at company level from mature stores (25-30% CPO, 40-45% FPO gross), yet current consolidated margins are 3-5%. Timeline for margin normalization was vague at '2-3 years' with no specific quarterly trajectory provided.
