    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Q1 FY27 Performance Overview

    Vaibhav Global Limited commenced FY27 on a healthy note, reporting consolidated revenue of INR 917 crores, a 12.7% year-on-year growth. EBITDA increased by 37% to INR 102 crores, with the EBITDA margin expanding to 11% from 9.2% in Q1 FY26. Profit after tax grew 50% year-on-year to INR 56 crores, with the PAT margin improving to 6%. This performance benefited from favorable foreign exchange and US tariff refunds, which contributed INR 25 crores to other operating revenue.

    02

    Market Performance and Macroeconomic Headwinds

    Despite a healthy start, constant currency revenue was broadly flat due to Middle East conflict-related disruptions and cautious consumer spending. In the U.S., consumer confidence remained weak, with households prioritizing essentials over discretionary items. The U.K. market also faced challenges, leading to a subdued core TJC business. However, Germany showed early signs of stabilization, delivering 6% local currency growth and is on track to contribute positively to group profitability from FY27.

    03

    Strategic Priorities and Digital Transformation

    The company's in-house brands now contribute around 57% of B2C sales, supporting margins and sourcing efficiencies. Digital sales accounted for 45% of B2C revenue, with a target to reach 50% by the end of FY27. All key e-commerce platforms have been migrated to Shopify Enterprise, enhancing speed, scalability, and integration with modern marketing and AI tools. AI initiatives are being implemented across product scheduling, content generation, and personalized marketing.

    04

    Lab-Grown Diamonds and Customer Economics

    Lab-grown diamonds continued strong momentum, representing around 13% of retail revenue, broadening the price architecture and reflecting a clear shift in consumer preference. The company is strategically shifting towards higher-value, higher-lifetime-value customers, with average pieces per customer on a trailing 12-month basis remaining healthy at 23. Management aims to reduce the customer profitability period from 9-10 months to 3 months to accelerate acquisition.

    05

    Capital Allocation and Shareholder Returns

    Vaibhav Global Limited maintains a net cash position of INR 287 crores as of June 30, 2026, providing flexibility for growth investments while maintaining strong capital discipline. The board has recommended a first interim dividend of INR 1.5 per equity share. Management aims to create a cash cushion of $50-100 million for potential acquisitions, which will be pursued if they offer strategic fit and synergetic benefits.

    06

    Long-Term Vision and Growth Drivers

    The company reiterates its FY27 guidance of 9-11% revenue growth and 50-100 basis points EBITDA margin expansion. Looking further ahead, Vaibhav Global is confident in achieving 12-15% growth in the mid-to-long term, with a FY30 revenue vision of INR 5,000-5,500 crores. Key growth drivers include scaling digital platforms, deepening own brand penetration, expanding lifestyle categories, and growing the lab-grown diamond portfolio.
