Kolkata, May 27 (PTI) Jewellery maker Senco Gold Ltd reported a 151 per cent rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 157 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 2026, aided by strong wedding season demand, old gold exchange programme and higher prices of the valuable metal.
The jewellery retailer had posted a profit after tax of Rs 62 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal.
Revenue from operations during the January-March period rose 45 per cent to Rs 1,997 crore against Rs 1,378 crore in the year-ago quarter, while EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) more than doubled to Rs 274 crore from Rs 127 crore earlier, the company said in a statement.
EBITDA margin improved to 13.7 per cent from 9.2 per cent.
The company said Q4 retail sales touched an all-time high of Rs 1,731 crore, up 35 per cent year-on-year, driven by a well-distributed wedding season, gifting demand during Valentine’s Day and continued traction in the old gold exchange programme, which contributed around 50 per cent to the quarterly revenue.
Senco Gold Managing Director and CEO Suvankar Sen said consumer demand remained resilient despite sharp volatility in gold prices, with customers increasingly shifting towards lightweight jewellery and lower caratage products.
For the full financial year 2025-26, the company posted its highest-ever topline of Rs 8,430 crore, registering a 33 per cent growth over Rs 6,328 crore in FY’25.
Annual profit after tax surged 261 per cent to Rs 574 crore from Rs 159 crore a year ago, while EBITDA jumped 164 per cent to Rs 969 crore. EBITDA margin expanded to 11.5 per cent from 5.8 per cent in the previous fiscal.
The company expanded its showroom network to 201 outlets during FY’26, including 26 new launches during the year.
Non-East India revenue crossed Rs 1,600 crore, reflecting expansion into newer markets.
The company said it plans to open 18-20 new showrooms in FY’27 and expects around 20 per cent revenue growth while maintaining EBITDA margin guidance of 7.5-7.8 per cent. PTI BSM BDC
