Thangamayil AR24 is worth a read.
Few Highlights-
From Chairman’s speech-
- It is heartening to note in spite of 8% gold price increase in the first 48 days of the current year ( FY 25) , I don’t see any perceptible drop in sales.
- This year Akshaya Thrithiyai resulted in retail sale of 15,728 lakhs as against 10,848 lakhs in previous year resulting in an increase by 45%
Moreover in volume terms also gold ornaments sold were at 210 kgs as against 168 kgs in the last year and registered a volume growth of 25% . This growth in volume is achieved in spite
of gold price increase by 20%. - Likely contribution from our geographical expansion upto 8 additional outlets and one major “flagship”
outlet in Chennai, may also contribute to the growth in turnover and profits, in parts of the year. - Improved volume offtake in higher gross profit product –mix items will ensure a better bottom-line
performance. - The initial capital outlay including working capital requirements in case all the 9 outlets to be opened in the current year in a phased manner, we may require up to 40,000 lakhs incrementally to be met by
(a) Undrawn eligible working capital borrowings up to 17,500 lakhs ( Float )
(b) Incremental customer advances up to 12,500 lakhs
(c) Infusion of 10,000 lakhs from system generated cash profits, as per capital allocation plan
