Kalyan Jewellers reported a strong Q4 FY25 with consolidated revenue of INR 6,182 crore (up 36% YoY) and PAT of INR 188 crore (up 37% YoY). India revenue grew 38% to INR 5,350 crore, while Middle East revenue rose 26% to INR 784 crore. The company opened 76 Kalyan and 60 Candere showrooms in FY25, with plans to add 170 more in FY26. Management guided for debt reduction of INR 350-400 crore and PBT margins exceeding 5% in FY26. Candere is expected to turn profitable at PAT level this year. A key risk is the elevated gold metal loan interest rates (5-5.5%), which may pressure margins if not normalized.
कल्याण ज्वैलर्स ने वित्त वर्ष 2025 की चौथी तिमाही में शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल कमाई 6,182 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 36% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा 188 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 37% बढ़ा। भारत में कमाई 38% बढ़कर 5,350 करोड़ रुपये और मिडिल ईस्ट में 26% बढ़कर 784 करोड़ रुपये हुई। कंपनी ने इस साल 76 कल्याण और 60 कैंडेयर शोरूम खोले। अगले साल 170 नए शोरूम खोलने की योजना है। कंपनी कर्ज 350-400 करोड़ रुपये घटाने और मुनाफा मार्जिन 5% से ऊपर रखने की उम्मीद करती है। कैंडेयर इस साल मुनाफे में आ सकता है। मुख्य जोखिम सोने के कर्ज पर ऊंची ब्याज दर (5-5.5%) है, जो मार्जिन पर दबाव डाल सकती है।
