02 · Why it moved
Why the quarter looked the way it did
What drove margins
Approximately 95% to 96% of the entire product offering is sold at full price, reflecting established brand value over 18 years.
Employee costs were lower at INR52 crores in Q1 compared to INR61 crores in Q4 due to bonuses and temporary staff deployment for peak seasons and valet parking during Q4.
03 · Demand, customers & order book
Where demand is coming from
Customers continued to display value-conscious and discretionary purchasing approaches amid broader consumer demand weakness across the retail space.
Demand began to increase slowly in the 15 to 20 days post-Adhik Maas, with expectations of a sharp demand pickup heading into Sravana Masam and the festive second half.
04 · Segments, products & geography

05 · Capacity, projects & execution
What is being built, commissioned or delivered
Capacity, production and utilisation
Valli Silks stores show productivity and inventory efficiencies comparable to or better than Kalamandir, but expansion is paced due to higher rent-to-revenue costs in small 3,000 to 4,000 sq ft formats.
The company added approximately 30,000 square feet of retail space during the quarter, taking the total footprint to approximately 8,14,000 square feet across 83 stores and 4 states.
Management is targeting a net retail space addition of approximately 1,00,000 square feet for the financial year, with visibility of 26,000 to 30,000 square feet in Q2.
06 · Reported developments
What changed operationally
Gross margins held up close to 42% despite a challenging environment, reflecting continued pricing discipline and merchandise mix management.
The company continues to maintain a debt-free balance sheet, reflecting financial discipline and prudent capital management alongside expansion.
Through disciplined execution, the company added approximately 90,000 to 1,00,000 square feet of retail space over and above original IPO targets using the same fund allocation.
07 · Pressure points & risks
What is not going smoothly
The occurrence of Adhik Maas from May 17 to June 15 created an inauspicious period for weddings and major purchases, weighing heavily on Q1 footfalls and spends.
Management planned to consolidate one KLM Fashion Mall store in Telangana due to sustained degrowth despite previous revival and downsizing efforts, moving store count from 19 to 18.
Rising fuel prices and substantially higher dyeing costs across the supply chain put pressure on operations, alongside minor 10 to 15 basis point compression in gross margins.
08 · Cash flow & balance sheet
Profit is one thing. Cash and funding tell another part of the story.
While absolute inventory levels rose due to added space, the company continued to see a consistent reduction in inventory per square foot driven by cluster-based expansion efficiencies.
Remaining IPO proceeds earmarked for warehouses are targeted for deployment, with due diligence underway and a deal expected to be finalized by the end of September.
09 · Management guidance & targets

Important analyst Q&A
3 key pointsExpansion for the 1,00,000 sq ft target is split across existing territories with Karnataka taking the lead, utilizing Kalamandir and Varamahalakshmi formats.
Poor monsoons in core agricultural-dependent markets like Rajahmundry and Vijayawada create potential demand headwinds, expected to reflect more prominently in Q2 and Q3.
Unlike high-ticket jewellery which benefits from metal appreciation and investment value, ethnic wear with lower average tickets of INR4,000 to INR5,000 is directly vulnerable to seasonal shifts like Adhik Maas.
