    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Q1 FY26 Performance Overview

    Iris Clothings reported a strong Q1 FY26, with total revenue increasing by 19% year-on-year to INR37.4 crores, up from INR31.4 crores in Q1 FY25. Profit after tax (PAT) also saw an 8.7% growth, reaching INR2.6 crores compared to INR2.4 crores in the prior year. EBITDA for the quarter stood at INR5.3 crores, reflecting a robust start to the fiscal year.

    02

    Operational Developments & B2B Expansion

    The company significantly expanded its B2B distributor network, adding eight new distributors during the quarter, bringing the total to 194. Management plans to further increase this to approximately 205 distributors by the end of the year, reinforcing its strong focus on the B2B market. This expansion is a clear indication of growing market presence and partner trust.

    03

    Capital Raise & Bonus Issue

    Iris Clothings successfully raised INR47.5 crores through a rights issue, which will be strategically allocated to support various growth initiatives. Additionally, the company allotted bonus equity shares in a 1:1 ratio to its members on July 7, 2025. These actions demonstrate the company's commitment to strengthening its financial position and enhancing shareholder value.

    04

    Product & Capacity Expansion Plans

    Looking ahead, the company plans to expand its production capacity to 38,000 pieces per day, with an additional capex of INR7-8 crores for new additions like embroidery and printing machines. These additions are expected to be operational within the next few months. New product lines, including innerwear, enhanced sportswear offerings, and a well-received travel wear collection, are being introduced to broaden product offerings and meet customer demand.

    05

    Retail D2C & EBO Strategy

    While the primary focus remains on the B2B market, the company is also developing its retail D2C segment. E-commerce, particularly through platforms like FirstCry, contributes around 8% to overall revenue. Iris Clothings aims to open five to six new Exclusive Brand Outlets (EBOs) in FY26, primarily in Mumbai, building on the success of two existing EBOs that have broken even and been operational for over 1.5 years.

    06

    Financial Outlook & Margin Management

    Management guided for approximately 50% revenue growth for FY26 and expects EBITDA margins to stabilize at 19-20% from Q2 FY26 onwards. This comes despite a one-time📎 impact on gross margins from a sales promotion event in Q1. The company expressed confidence in maintaining these margins through efficient raw material booking and sales mechanisms. Export revenue, currently at 4%, is targeted to grow to 5-6% in the next year.
