Kalyan Jewellers reported a strong Q3 FY24 with consolidated revenue of INR 5,223 crore (+34.5% YoY) and PAT of INR 180 crore (+21.6% YoY). India revenue grew 40% YoY to INR 4,512 crore, driven by robust same-store sales and aggressive store expansion (22 new showrooms in Q3). The Middle East business grew 6% but PAT declined due to higher interest costs and franchise mix. Management guided for 80 new Kalyan showrooms in FY25 (mostly FOCO model) and 50+ Candere stores, with debt reduction of INR 400-450 crore next year. PBT growth is expected to outpace revenue growth for the full year. Key risk: elevated competitive intensity and gold price volatility could pressure margins in non-south markets.
कल्याण ज्वैलर्स ने तीसरी तिमाही में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल कमाई 5,223 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 34.5% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा 180 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 21.6% बढ़ा। भारत में कमाई 40% बढ़कर 4,512 करोड़ रुपये हुई, क्योंकि पुरानी दुकानों की बिक्री बढ़ी और 22 नए शोरूम खुले। मिडिल ईस्ट में कमाई 6% बढ़ी, लेकिन ब्याज खर्च बढ़ने से मुनाफा घटा। कंपनी अगले साल 80 नए कल्याण शोरूम और 50 से ज्यादा कैंडेयर स्टोर खोलेगी। कर्ज 400-450 करोड़ रुपये कम करेगी। मुनाफा कमाई से तेज बढ़ने की उम्मीद है। खतरा: सोने के दाम में उतार-चढ़ाव और बढ़ती प्रतिस्पर्धा से मुनाफा कम हो सकता है।

Margin dilution from franchisee mix

NEW RISK
Elevated competitive intensity in non-south markets
Management noted heightened competition post-Diwali, especially from local players, requiring higher promotional spends.
NEW RISK

Candere's online business has seen consistent decline over the past few quarters; offline expansion is expected to reverse this trend.
