Welspun Living Ltd. has
started FY27 on a strong note, reporting a 23.5% year-on-year rise in Q1
revenue to ₹2,828 crore, its strongest growth in seven quarters. Revenue was
also up 15.4% sequentially. EBITDA rose to ₹354 crore, with margins improving
for the third consecutive quarter to 12.5%, while PAT grew 1.8 times to ₹161
crore.
The performance was
supported by broad-based growth. Home textile exports rose 28.1%, while the UK
and Europe business grew more than 20%. The US pillow business more than
doubled, growing 2.3 times year-on-year and remaining on track to double
revenue in FY27. Domestic business grew 21.3%, while global brands contributed
around 12% of revenue, with Christy maintaining double-digit growth.
Flooring margins improved
to 10.4% despite softer exports, while innovation contributed around 25% of
business. The company also strengthened its balance sheet through healthy cash
generation and disciplined working capital management.
Welspun’s Anjar facility
has now shifted to 100% green power, effective mid-July, marking another step
in its sustainability strategy.
B.K. Goenka, Chairman,
Welspun Group, said: “Q1FY27 is clear evidence that our investments in
innovation, manufacturing excellence, brands, sustainability and people are
translating into broad-based growth and improved profitability. The global
sourcing landscape continues to evolve in India’s favour. The India–UK Free
Trade Agreement, improving tariff visibility in the US and continued
supply-chain diversification present a compelling long-term opportunity for
Indian manufacturers.”
