TL;DR
- Consolidated total income was INR634 crores, down from INR661 crores, impacted by geopolitical issues in the Middle East and lower capacity utilization.
- EBITDA margin was about 16%, driven by lower revenues, product mix tweaks, and raw material inflation.
- Capacity utilization was 99% at facilities, with Sheeting at 52% and Terry at 63%.
- The company is launching three new verticals: Yarn Solutions, Fabric Solutions, and Apparel Solutions, to diversify revenue and reduce market concentration.
- Total debt leverage remained range bound at about INR2,550 crores.

From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Business Model Transition and Revenue | Management stated the transition to new verticals (Yarn, Fabric, Apparel) will cause some volatility and rightsizing of the Home Textile (Sheeting) division, but they aim to keep overall revenues range-bound with new streams compensating. |
| Capacity and Revenue Targets for New Verticals | The Yarn Solutions and Fabric Solutions verticals are expected to generate about INR1,000 crores each at full capacity. The combined fabric processing capacity is about 90 million meters. |
| Capex and Fundraising | Capex is limited to maintenance and organic requirements; no expansion is needed for the transition. Recent NCD fundraising was for debt tenor balancing, and a net debt reduction is expected by the end of the fiscal. |
| U.S. Tariffs and FTAs | U.S. tariff impacts have stabilized but created pricing challenges. FTAs with the U.K. and EU are still under process and should offer medium-term opportunities, but India is expected to become a top jurisdiction for the company. |
| External Yarn Sales | Over 90% of Yarn Solutions capacity will be sold externally, as the company currently buys yarn and wants the business to chart its own growth. |
Guidance
- Focus for the next couple of quarters is on transition, with expected volatility in numbers.
- Net debt is expected to reduce by the end of the fiscal.
- India is expected to become one of the top two revenue jurisdictions for the company in the medium term.
- New verticals (Yarn and Fabric Solutions) are nascent and will be ramped up through the year.
