GOLDIAM - Goldiam Intl.
Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Jewellery manufacturing contributed 97.30% of standalone turnover in FY25. Consolidated revenue for FY25 reached INR 800.6 Cr, a 29.54% increase from INR 616.8 Cr in FY24. H1 FY26 revenue grew 40.8% YoY to INR 437.6 Cr.
Geographic Revenue Split
The USA remains the prime export destination. B2B export revenue is the primary driver, with Lab-Grown Diamond (LGD) jewellery now accounting for 90% of Q2 FY26 export revenue, up from 77% in Q2 FY25.
Profitability Margins
PAT margins remained stable at 14.6% in FY25 and 14.8% in H1 FY26. Consolidated Profit Before Tax (PBT) for FY25 was INR 172.5 Cr, representing a 41.3% increase over the previous year's INR 122.1 Cr.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin for FY25 was 22.4% (INR 179.2 Cr). H1 FY26 EBITDA margin stood at 21.6% (INR 94.5 Cr). Management provides a steady-state EBITDA guidance range of 18% to 22%.
Capital Expenditure
The company raised INR 202.05 Cr through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) in late 2025 for growth. Domestic retail expansion via ORIGEM stores requires INR 3.5 Cr to INR 4 Cr per store in capital and inventory.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
The company utilizes Gold Metal Loans (GMLs) to defer gold payments by 6 months, optimizing working capital. Specific credit ratings and interest rate percentages were not disclosed in the documents.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Gold (representing 30% to 50% of the finished product cost), Lab-Grown Diamonds (LGD), and Natural Diamonds.
Import Sources
The company operates a US subsidiary for initial casting to establish 'US Product of Origin,' with finishing and diamond setting occurring in India (SEEPZ, Mumbai).
Capacity Expansion
The business model is designed for scalability without rebuilding systems. Domestic expansion involves opening ORIGEM stores with a target payback period of less than 3 years at INR 40 lakhs monthly sales.
Raw Material Costs
Gold price volatility is a major risk as it constitutes up to 50% of COGS. Inventory for a single ORIGEM store includes INR 1.2 Cr to INR 1.5 Cr in gold value alone.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Consolidated revenues increased 43% YoY in Q2 FY26 despite a 30-day operational disruption, indicating high throughput efficiency and strong demand absorption.
Logistics & Distribution
The company employs an omnichannel strategy including in-store and online sales. Online sales accounted for 20% of Q2 FY26 revenue.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
15-20%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be driven by increasing wallet share with US corporate customers, transitioning the export mix to 90% Lab-Grown Diamonds which offer better margins, and scaling the domestic ORIGEM retail brand in India. The company is also targeting US 'mom-and-pop' stores through its 'Jewel Fleet' model.
Products & Services
Gold, silver, and diamond jewellery (Natural and Lab-Grown), and investment activity.
Brand Portfolio
ORIGEM (Lab-Grown Diamond retail), Jewel Fleet (B2B distribution).
New Products/Services
Aggressive push into Lab-Grown Diamond (LGD) jewellery, which grew from 77% to 90% of export value YoY in Q2.
Market Expansion
Expansion of the ORIGEM retail footprint in India and deepening penetration in the US corporate B2B jewellery market.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is rapidly shifting toward Lab-Grown Diamonds (LGD). Goldiam has transitioned from a natural diamond company to a major LGD supplier, with LGD now 90% of export revenue.
Competitive Landscape
Large Indian jewellery players are entering the LGD segment, increasing competition in the domestic market.
Competitive Moat
The primary moat is the integrated supply chain and the 'US Product of Origin' ruling from US Customs, which provides a 15-25% cost advantage over competitors facing full tariffs. This is sustainable due to the company's established US subsidiary infrastructure.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Projected India GDP growth of 6.4% in FY26 and easing food inflation are expected to boost discretionary consumption for jewellery.
Consumer Behavior
Shift toward LGD for better value-for-money and discretionary consumption, supported by tax incentives in the Union Budget 2025-26.
Geopolitical Risks
Global trade uncertainties and potential US tariff actions are cited as primary headwinds for the export-heavy business.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by US Customs rulings for 'Product of Origin' and SEEPZ export regulations in India. Compliance with SEBI (LODR) and Ind AS is maintained.
Environmental Compliance
The Risk Management Committee monitors ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) related risks as part of its formal mandate.
Taxation Policy Impact
The company follows a 14.6% to 14.8% effective PAT margin profile; specific tax rates were not disclosed.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Bullion risk (gold price volatility) and US trade policy changes are the most significant uncertainties, potentially impacting margins by 2-4% if not managed.
Geographic Concentration Risk
High geographic concentration in the USA, making the company vulnerable to US economic slowdowns or tariff hikes.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependence on US Customs rulings to maintain the tariff-mitigated 'Product of Origin' status for its jewellery.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company is mitigating technology risk by aggressively adopting LGD manufacturing technology, moving away from the stagnating natural diamond segment.
