    Incremental 10% US Tariffs on Lab-Grown Diamond Jewelry

    Expected to cause 2-3 percentage point softness in EBITDA margin for Q1 and Q2 FY26, but management is actively mitigating by passing on costs and controlling raw material prices. — Management acknowledged

    Inventory Buildup leading to negative cash flow from operations

    Explained as investment in new product testing for B2B U.S. retailers (consignment model) and inventory for new ORIGEM stores, a historical pattern linked to revenue growth. — Analyst acknowledged

    Q&A highlights

    3

    “We may see a slight softness in Q1, and potentially Q2 only in this financial year due to the lag of passing over the price change due to the tariffs in the U.S., which, as we know, is an incremental 10% that's been added on. We are in the process of passing this over, and we have already started splitting it with customers 5% each.”

    Directly addresses a key risk (tariffs) and provides clarity on short-term margin pressure and long-term stability with mitigation strategies.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Strong Financial Performance in FY25

    Goldiam International delivered a robust financial performance in FY25, with consolidated revenue growing 30% to INR 800.64 crores. EBITDA for the full year increased 40% to INR 179.2 crores, maintaining a strong margin of 22.4%. Profit After Tax (PAT) also saw a significant rise of 29% to INR 117.1 crores, marking the first time the company crossed the INR 100 crore profit milestone. Q4 FY25 alone contributed INR 201.84 crores in revenue and INR 23.2 crores in PAT, both up 33% and 30% YoY respectively.

    02

    Impact and Mitigation of US Tariffs

    The company acknowledged an incremental 10% tariff on lab-grown diamond jewelry exports to the U.S., which is expected to cause a 'slight softness' of 2-3 percentage points in EBITDA margin for Q1 and Q2 FY26. Management is actively mitigating this by passing on the tariffs to customers, splitting the cost 5% each, and pushing down raw material prices. They anticipate the tariffs to be fully passed on within another quarter, allowing the business to return to its guided EBITDA range of 18-22%.

    03

    Expansion of ORIGEM Retail Footprint in India

    Goldiam is aggressively expanding its domestic retail brand, ORIGEM, which currently has 6 operational stores in Mumbai. The company plans to open 'around 20 to 25 stores' in the current financial year (FY26), expanding into Delhi NCR, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. An enabling resolution for a fundraise of 'up to INR 400 crores' has been passed, intended to propel faster expansion, though the initial 20-25 stores are planned without necessarily needing this fundraise.

    04

    ORIGEM Store Economics and Competitive Advantage

    ORIGEM stores are currently selling jewelry at a high gross margin of 42% to 45%. Management stated that the model is built to achieve breakeven around 'INR 20 lakh monthly revenue' per store, with some stores already breaking even in the first month. Goldiam leverages its deep integration, from growing its own diamonds to manufacturing jewelry in-house, to achieve a significant cost advantage, positioning it as the 'lowest-priced lab-grown retailer' compared to start-up competitors.

    05

    B2B Export Business Growth and Lab-Grown Diamond Focus

    The B2B export business continues to be a core focus, with lab-grown diamond jewelry exports contributing 81.8% to the overall export sales mix in Q4 FY25, up from 54% in Q4 FY24. The average realization for lab-grown diamond jewelry was $742 per unit in Q4 FY25. Management aims to 'double our sales' in the core B2B business over the next 3 to 4 years, driven by volume growth and an increased portion of higher karatage diamonds.

    06

    Working Capital Dynamics and Inventory Management

    The company noted an increase in inventory, which is attributed to investments in new product testing for large U.S. retailers under a consignment model, and inventory buildup for the expanding ORIGEM stores (INR 2-2.5 crores per store). Concurrently, receivables have reduced, largely due to the growth of online sales, which accounted for 29.5% of Q4 revenue and offer a negative working capital cycle with receivables collected within 10-30 days.
