From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Depreciation & Financials | High quarterly depreciation (~INR 15 cr) is due to Ind AS front-loading, not IGAAP. The company reports only Ind AS numbers. |
| Utilization & Margins | Manufacturing capacity utilization is 68%-70%. EBITDA margin trajectory is tied to brand architecture changes and scaling. |
| Store Performance & Rationalization | 35 out of 47 COCO stores are EBITDA positive. Stores are relocated as catchments mature. New stores target EBITDA positivity in 6-12 months and ROI in 24-36 months. |
| Brand Architecture & New Format | Stanley Boutique and Level Next are being consolidated into a single large-format 'Stanley Superlative Living' store per major metro, targeting homes with budgets above INR 3-5 crores. |
| B2B & Export Challenges | B2B shipments are stuck due to Middle East war logistics. U.S. export opportunities are on hold due to tariffs, but BIS certification for imports is seen as a potential tailwind. |
| Internal Fraud | A fraudulent activity by the company secretary was found during Q1 audit; investigation is ongoing. |
Guidance
- Focus on improving customer conversions as residential project handovers progress.
- Selective expansion into relevant markets, accelerating localization, and developing the complete home solutions portfolio.
- Brand architecture changes (folding three brands into one Stanley and one Sofas & More) expected to complete in 3 to 4 quarters.
- Stanley Superlative Living format launch is imminent in Hyderabad, with similar plans for other major metros.
