2-Min Summary
Titan delivered a superlative quarter with all businesses growing strongly, driven by a resurgence in buyer growth (+8% vs flat prior) aided by gold price-led urgency, wedding preponement, and successful exchange campaigns. The jewelry division saw 15-20% revenue growth guidance reiterated for the medium term, supported by formalization and brand strength. However, EBITDA margin pressure persists due to gold price mix shifts, with management noting sustainability is contingent on gold trajectory. The international business posted an 82 crore loss due to GCC disruptions, while Damas integration is on track. Key risks include gold price volatility impacting margins and potential demand pull-forward from wedding preponement. Overall, Titan's strategic initiatives (exchange, lightweight, gemstones) position it well, but margin visibility remains limited.

We have ended the year with a superlative quarter for topline growth, perhaps our best ever in the recent past.
If gold remains at the current rate, it is sustainable. But if gold continues to go up, we may have to keep making effort... beyond a point there will be impact on margin.
Our sense is that perhaps we have gained about 50 to 60 bips is our sense on FI26 versus FI25.
