Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Total revenue grew by 61.9% YoY to INR 530.15 Cr in FY25 from INR 327.44 Cr in FY24. The retail segment (B2C) is the primary driver, contributing approximately 60% of total operating income in FY24, while the wholesale and jobwork segments provide volume stability.
Geographic Revenue Split
The company faces high geographic concentration with 100% of retail revenue currently derived from its sole store in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. However, its B2B segment supplies to 72 cities across 19 states, providing a broader national footprint.
Profitability Margins
PAT margin was 6.59% in FY24 (INR 21.57 Cr) and improved to 8.60% in H1FY25. The margin expansion is driven by a strategic shift toward the higher-margin retail segment compared to the lower-margin jobwork and wholesale businesses.
EBITDA Margin
PBILDT margin was 11.75% in FY24 and improved to 14.29% in H1FY25. Management expects to sustain margins in the 13.00%-14.00% range as the retail contribution increases.
Capital Expenditure
The company raised INR 100 Cr through an IPO in December 2023, which was primarily utilized to fund incremental capital requirements and inventory for its retail expansion, including two new showrooms.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
Maintains a 'Stable' outlook from CRISIL and CARE. Interest coverage was healthy at 4.89 times in FY24. Bank limit utilization was high at 85% on average for the 12 months through June 2025.

External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward organized retail and hallmarked jewellery. RBZ is positioning itself by expanding its branded retail presence ('Harit Zaveri') to capture this trend.
Competitive Landscape
Faces intense competition from large organized retailers (e.g., Titan, Kalyan Jewellers) and local unorganized players who compete on making charges and localized designs.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on the 30+ years of promoter experience and an integrated manufacturing-to-retail model. This provides a cost advantage and design exclusivity that is sustainable but challenged by larger national chains.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to gold price volatility and consumer spending power, which is influenced by inflation and the wedding season cycle.
Consumer Behavior
Increasing consumer traction for 'occasion wear' and branded bridal jewellery, particularly during the wedding season, is driving higher volume growth.
Geopolitical Risks
Global precious metal price volatility driven by geopolitical tensions directly impacts input costs and consumer demand trends.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Subject to Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmarking regulations and gold import/export policies which can impact raw material availability and costs.
Taxation Policy Impact
The company follows standard Indian corporate tax rates; deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences.
Legal Contingencies
The company reported compliance with sections 177 and 188 of the Companies Act regarding related party transactions; no major pending litigation values were disclosed.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Volatility in gold prices and regulatory changes in gold import duties are key risks that could impact operating margins by 2-3%.
Geographic Concentration Risk
100% of retail revenue is generated from a single store in Ahmedabad, creating a high risk if the local market faces a downturn.
Third Party Dependencies
Moderate dependency on bank financing for working capital, with average utilization at 85%.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Risk is low, but the company is expanding its online presence to keep pace with digital transformation in the jewellery retail sector.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
B2B operations involve credit risk; however, the company maintains established relationships with clients to mitigate receivables risk.
