Prime Fresh Q1 FY27
What went well
- Revenue grew to INR 81.71 crores, marking a 53.2% increase YoY from INR 53.34 crores.
- EBITDA surged to INR 6 crores, a 49.25% YoY jump from INR 4.02 crores, with margins expanding to 9.83% from 7.53%.
- PAT also saw a significant 50.51% YoY increase, reaching INR 4.35 crores from INR 2.89 crores.
What to watch
- Q1 EBITDA margins of 9.83% are noted as potentially unsustainable due to one-time factors like pending recoveries in the service business and inventory gains from rising F&V prices.
- Pomegranate value growth may not align with volume growth due to falling prices despite strong production, impacting overall revenue quality.
