💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Total Operating Income (TOI) grew 19.88% YoY to INR 105.06 Cr in FY25 from INR 87.64 Cr in FY24. Revenue is derived from Clock Sales (35-40%), Clock Movements (25-30%), and Trading Activities (30-40%) including plastic granules.

Geographic Revenue Split

Domestic sales contribute approximately 79% of revenue, while Export sales (primarily to Middle East countries like Dubai, Qatar, and Iraq) contribute 21% in FY25, down from 25% in FY24.

Profitability Margins

PBILDT margin declined by 196 bps to 12.37% in FY25 from 14.33% in FY24 due to higher raw material and freight costs. PAT margin remained stable at 6.03% in FY25 compared to 6.26% in FY24.

EBITDA Margin

PBILDT margin was 12.37% in FY25. In Q1FY26, the margin declined significantly to 6.75% (from 11.42% in Q1FY25) primarily due to a higher proportion of low-margin trading sales.

Capital Expenditure

The company has no debt-funded capital expenditure planned for the near to medium term, aiming to maintain its current comfortable capital structure.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

CARE Ratings reaffirmed 'CARE BBB-; Stable / CARE A3' in September 2025. Interest coverage ratio improved to 6.27x in FY25 from 4.41x in FY24 due to lower debt levels and moderate profitability.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Import Sources

The company is a net importer of plastic granules, glass, and clock movement parts, though specific country-wise import percentages are not disclosed.

Capacity Expansion

Current installed capacity is not specified in units, but the company operates a manufacturing facility in Morbi, Gujarat, and has no immediate plans for debt-funded expansion.

Raw Material Costs

Raw material costs are a significant driver of margins; PBILDT margins fell 196 bps in FY25 largely due to volatility in commodity prices for plastic and glass.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Average fund-based working capital utilization remained moderate at 76% for the 12 months ended July 2025.

Logistics & Distribution

Distribution is impacted by global freight costs; higher freight expenses were a primary factor in the 196 bps decline in FY25 operating margins.
