Commenting on the financial performance Mr. Vikash Agarwal - Whole Time Director, said,


“We are pleased to report a stable performance in Q1 FY25, though the industry continues to witness resistance to any price increase. We
demonstrated steady improvements across key financial metrics. This quarter, we witnessed 8% rise in revenue, primarily driven by strong sales in our
core product line. Our volume growth for the quarter reached 9%, supported by strong sales in the economy and athleisure segments.
Our EBITDA saw a year-on-year increase of 59%, totaling Rs. 18.0 crores for the quarter, showcasing our commitment to cost management and
operational efficiency. Operating margins also improved by 280 basis points compared to the same period last year. Furthermore, our net profit
experienced substantial growth of 149%, reaching Rs. 10.5 crores for the quarter. This underscores the effectiveness of our financial strategies and the
resilience of our business model. Net profit margins improved by 280 basis points during the quarter.
Notably, our exports have shown progress, with a healthy 32% year-on-year growth, reaching Rs. 8 crores. This reflects our steady penetration into
international markets. Revenue contribution from Modern Trade remains robust at 8% in Q1 FY25.
The pilot project “Pragati’, which was launched last quarter, has received encouraging feedback from our distributors. We expect healthy expansion of
the project going forward.
Our cash flow from operations remains strong, generating Rs. 44 crores in Q1 FY25. We have made significant progress in reducing our debt, achieving
a net debt-free status as at end of Q1 FY25. Our branding and advertising strategies accounted for 9% of revenues in Q1 FY25.
Looking ahead, we are confident in achieving new business milestones and delivering innovative products to our diverse customer segments. Our
