Saraswati Saree Depot Limited (SSDL) reported Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025) revenue of Rs. 144.77 crore, up 11.1% year-on-year from Rs. 130.37 crore. EBITDA grew 14.4% to Rs. 8.98 crore, with margins improving to 6.20% from 6.01% a year ago. Profit after tax rose 4.1% YoY to Rs. 6.35 crore, though PAT margin slipped to 4.39% from 4.65% due to higher depreciation and interest expenses from operating lease accounting under Ind AS 116. EPS stood at Rs. 1.61, lower YoY mainly because the share count increased after the IPO. The company also announced strategic moves: its first exclusive retail outlet in Kolhapur (operational since June 1, 2025), a dedicated WhatsApp store for digital ordering, and a pilot launch into men's ethnic wear timed for the festive season.
Strong double-digit revenue and EBITDA growth signal solid business momentum, but softer PAT margins and a sequential decline in profits (down 9.5% QoQ) may limit near-term excitement. Diversification into retail, digital channels, and men's ethnic wear offers long-term growth optionality, though execution risk and capital deployment efficiency (targeted RoCE of 20%) will be key things for investors to watch.
