Kalyan Jewellers reported a strong Q4 FY24 with consolidated revenue of INR 4,535 crore (+34% YoY) and PAT of INR 137 crore (+96% YoY, adjusted +34%). Growth was driven by robust same-store sales growth of 12-15% across regions, expansion of 58 new FOCO stores in India, and a rising share of franchisee revenue (25% in Q4). The company guided for 130 new stores in FY25 (80 Kalyan, 50 Candere) and debt reduction of INR 350-400 crore. PBT margins improved to 4.6% despite franchisee mix dilution. Key risk: competitive intensity in ad spends could pressure near-term margins.
कल्याण ज्वैलर्स ने वित्त वर्ष 2024 की चौथी तिमाही में मजबूत प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल आय 4,535 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 34% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा 137 करोड़ रुपये हुआ, जो 96% बढ़ा। यह वृद्धि पुराने स्टोर्स की बिक्री में 12-15% बढ़ोतरी, 58 नए फ्रेंचाइजी स्टोर्स खोलने और फ्रेंचाइजी से आय के बढ़ते हिस्से (25%) से आई। कंपनी ने अगले साल 130 नए स्टोर्स खोलने और 350-400 करोड़ रुपये कर्ज घटाने का लक्ष्य रखा है। मुनाफा मार्जिन 4.6% रहा। मुख्य जोखिम: विज्ञापन खर्च बढ़ने से निकट भविष्य में मुनाफा कम हो सकता है।
