Ethos Q3 Revenue Jumps 26.7% to ₹468.5 Cr; Forex Volatility Pressures Margins

🔵 WATCH ⭐ 7/10

EARNINGS 📅 06 Feb 2026, 02:53 PM

Ethos Limited reported a robust 27.4% YoY revenue growth for 9M FY26, reaching ₹1,198.2 Cr, driven by sustained luxury demand and network expansion. However, profitability faced headwinds from a sharp 19% appreciation of the Swiss Franc (CHF) against the INR, resulting in a ₹14.3 Cr impact on gross margins. The company aggressively expanded its footprint to 89 boutiques across 27 cities, maintaining a healthy Same Store Sales Growth (SSSG) of 14.1%. Despite a one-time ₹1.8 Cr hit from new labor codes, the lifestyle vertical and exclusive brand partnerships like Rimowa and Messika continue to scale.

9M FY26 Revenue grew 27.4% YoY to ₹1,198.2 Cr, while Q3 Revenue rose 26.7% to ₹468.5 Cr.
Average Selling Price (ASP) stands at ₹2.08 Lacs with a Same Store Sales Growth (SSSG) of 14.1%.
Forex headwinds from CHF appreciation caused an estimated ₹14.3 Cr impact on gross margins during 9M FY26.
Store network expanded to 89 boutiques as of Feb 2026, with 21 new openings in the first nine months of the fiscal year.
Consolidated PAT for 9M FY26 stood at ₹72.8 Cr, slightly down from ₹73.5 Cr in the previous year due to margin pressure.

💡 Investors should monitor the company's ability to pass on higher costs to consumers as the Swiss Franc remains strong. While top-line growth and expansion are aggressive, the short-term margin compression needs to be balanced against the long-term scaling of the lifestyle vertical.

💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Standalone revenue from operations grew 29.5% YoY to INR 1,251.6 Cr in FY25. In H1FY26, revenue reached INR 738.8 Cr, maintaining a 29.5% YoY growth rate. Growth is driven by premium watch sales and the Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) business, which saw increased contribution in FY25.

Geographic Revenue Split

Not specifically disclosed by region, but the company expanded its footprint to 86 boutiques as of late 2025, up from 73 boutiques in March 2025, indicating a nationwide expansion strategy in the Indian luxury market.

Profitability Margins

Standalone Gross Profit Margin was 30.0% in FY25 but compressed to 28.3% in H1FY26 and 28.1% in Q2FY26. Net Profit Margin (PAT) was 8.3% in FY24 and 7.6% in FY23. The margin compression in FY26 is attributed to a 15% depreciation of the INR against the CHF and the nascent stage of 16 new boutiques.

EBITDA Margin

Consolidated EBITDA margin (with Ind AS 116) declined from 16.8% in H1FY25 to 15.0% in H1FY26. Normalized EBITDA margin (without Ind AS 116) for Q2FY26 stood at 10.3% compared to 11.8% in Q2FY25, a decrease of 150 bps due to higher operating costs for new stores and forex losses.

Capital Expenditure

The company raised INR 175 Cr through a QIP in FY24 to fund store additions. As of September 30, 2024, INR 28.71 Cr was utilized for new store establishment and renovations during the quarter, with INR 4.55 Cr remaining unutilized from that specific object.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

ICRA maintains a healthy rating with gearing at 0.3 times as of March 31, 2025 (up from 0.16 times in FY24 due to increased leases). Interest coverage ratio remained strong at 7.78x in FY25 compared to 7.80x in FY24.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Finished luxury watches and lifestyle products (jewelry). Imports account for approximately 40% of the total watch supply.

Import Sources

Switzerland (implied by CHF currency exposure) and other international markets.

Key Suppliers

Global luxury watch brands and jewelry brands like Messika. Specific brand names are maintained through exclusive distribution arrangements.

Capacity Expansion

Increased store count from 73 boutiques in March 2025 to 86 boutiques by September 2025. The company has plans for 15 to 40 new store additions in the near-to-medium term to scale its retail presence.

Raw Material Costs

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for H1FY26 was INR 529.6 Cr on a standalone basis. INR depreciation of ~15% against the CHF resulted in a COGS increase/notional exchange loss of INR 7.4 Cr in H1FY26.

Manufacturing Efficiency

As a retailer, efficiency is measured by Inventory Turnover Ratio, which was 1.70x in FY25, a slight decrease from 1.79x in FY24.

Logistics & Distribution

Not disclosed as a specific percentage, but the company focuses on supply chain agility to support its 86-boutique network.

📈 Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

29.50%

Growth Strategy

Achieved through aggressive retail footprint expansion (16 new stores in H1FY26), deepening exclusive brand partnerships, and scaling the Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) segment. The company is also diversifying into luxury jewelry (Messika) and fashion segments.

Industry Trends

The luxury watch market in India is seeing a rise in aspiration for timepieces. The industry is shifting toward organized retail and pre-owned segments, where Ethos has a first-mover advantage.

Competitive Landscape

Faces competition from other domestic luxury retailers and international markets (grey market or direct overseas purchases by consumers).

Competitive Moat

Moat is built on being the largest organized player with exclusive brand partnerships and a robust CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) ecosystem, which are difficult for new entrants to replicate quickly.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to discretionary consumer spending and market sentiment for luxury goods. Inflationary pressures are noted as a challenge to cost discipline.

Consumer Behavior

Increasing demand for high-value and exclusive brands; growing acceptance of certified pre-owned luxury goods.

Geopolitical Risks

Global uncertainties impact the supply of luxury Swiss watches and can lead to price revisions from international brands.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Subject to Hallmarking regulations for jewelry and strict import/export documentation for luxury watches. Compliance with Ind AS 116 for lease accounting significantly impacts reported EBITDA and assets.

Environmental Compliance

The company publishes a Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) as per SEBI requirements.

Taxation Policy Impact

Standalone tax expense was INR 33.8 Cr in FY25. The business is prone to regulatory changes in GST or import duties on luxury items.

Legal Contingencies

Not disclosed in the provided documents; the company emphasizes a culture of whistleblowing and regular audits to ensure ethical practices.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Forex volatility (CHF/INR) poses a significant risk to margins (INR 10.7 Cr impact in H1FY26). Gestation periods for 16+ new stores may temporarily depress profitability.
