Profitability Margins
Net profit margins have seen a downward trend, declining from 8.15% in FY24 to 5.79% in FY25, and further to 5.25% for the TTM ending September 2025. This decline is attributed to rising raw material costs and one-time expenses related to US showroom setup and capacity operationalization.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin moderated to 13.14% in FY25 from 16.47% in FY24, a decrease of 333 bps. Core profitability was impacted by a 300 bps moderation in PBILDT margins due to global supply chain bottlenecks and raw material price volatility. TTM Sep 2025 EBITDA margin stands at 12.47%.

External Factors
Industry Trends
The home textile industry is benefiting from a shift in global sourcing away from China. Faze Three is positioning itself by expanding capacity and focusing on value-added technical textiles to capture this growing demand.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with other Indian and global home textile manufacturers. Competitive dynamics are driven by the ability to manufacture large volumes and fast design turnaround.
Competitive Moat
The moat is built on 30+ years of operational experience, long-term relationships with global retailers, and a debt-free capital structure. These advantages are sustainable due to high entry barriers in large-scale retail supply chains.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to global economic cycles and consumer spending in the US market. Revenue growth is linked to the 'China Plus One' geopolitical strategy.
Consumer Behavior
Demand is driven by international retail trends in home decor and functional textiles like patio mats.
Geopolitical Risks
Significant risk from US-China trade relations and potential tariff-related uncertainties which could pressure profitability and debt coverage metrics.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are subject to manufacturing standards and export-import regulations. The company emphasizes ethical business practices and compliance with all applicable statutes.
Taxation Policy Impact
The effective tax rate is reflected in the PBT of INR 52.7 Cr vs PAT of INR 40.7 Cr for FY25, implying a tax rate of approximately 22.8%.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Tariff-related uncertainties in the US market and raw material price volatility (polyester/cotton) are the primary risks, with potential to impact margins by 300-400 bps.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Over 50% of revenue is concentrated in the US market.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on international retailers for stable revenue visibility; however, the customer base is described as 'wide' and 'diversified'.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Low risk in textiles, but the company mitigates this through constant investment in state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and design capabilities.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade receivables stood at INR 90.83 Cr as of March 2025. The company deals with reputed international retailers, which generally implies higher receivable quality.
