Commenting on the Results, Mr. Mangesh Chauhan, Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer, said:

"Sky Gold Ltd has seen exceptional growth in the first quarter of FY25. Our Revenue from Operations surged by 92.4% year-on-year to Rs. 723 crores. EBITDA increased by 100% to Rs. 37.3 crores, and our Profit After Tax grew by 98.9% to Rs. 21.2 crores. This remarkable performance is attributed to our recent expansion to a larger facility in Navi Mumbai, which has significantly increased our production capacity.

In Ǫ1 FY25, our capacity utilization stood at 33% of the total capacity (including additional capacities from acquisitions). This highlights our capability to scale operations and strengthen our position in the gold jewellery market both in India and globally. The recent integration of Starmangalsutra and Sparkling Chains into Sky Gold is perfectly aligned with our growth strategy. These acquisitions are expected to boost our margins through the synergies they bring to the enterprise. By consolidating our operations, we're broadening our total addressable market and expanding our product presence in numerous retail outlets.

Moving forward in FY25, we plan to increase capacity utilization at our new facility, invest in IT and automation, implement an ERP system, strengthen our mid-management and regional sales teams, and optimize our financials through the use of gold metal loans to improve profitability and reduce borrowing costs.

We are confident that these initiatives will help us achieve our goal of INR 6300 Crores in revenue by FY27, while aiming for a capacity utilization of 1050 Kgs from 750 kgs post our recent acquisition per month within the next three years."

Sky Gold is also planning to raise funds to boost equity. The recent cut in import duty on gold in the Union Budget has sparked a surge in demand for gold jewellery, with more consumers now preferring organized markets over unorganized ones. These events are expected to further strengthen the company's position in the industry.

Sky Gold Ltd is focused on enhancing its operational efficiency and expanding its market presence. Investments in IT and automation will facilitate scaling up operations and improving productivity. The implementation of an ERP system will streamline processes and enhance decision-making capabilities.

To support its growth ambitions, Sky Gold is also strengthening its mid-management team and regional sales force. It has decreased its collateral percentage to free up capital from 50 to 40%. The company is optimizing its financial structure by leveraging gold metal loans, which will lead to better profitability and reduced borrowing costs.
