Major Points:
Last updated: Jan 25
Question 1:
What were the store closure and opening plans for Q4 and FY26, and what prompted recent closures?
Answer:
Most closures occurred in Q3, targeting underperforming high-street stores. Minimal closures are expected in FY26, with 12-15 new departmental stores planned. Closures were due to low footfall or relocation needs, not entire market exits.
Question 2:
Why did the Beauty B2C segment grow only 3% despite premiumization efforts?
Answer:
Masstige/value segments faced softness, but premium/luxury categories grew. A new private label, Joyology, was launched to offer quality at value, focusing on experience over discounts.
Question 3:
What is INTUNE's EBITDA breakeven timeline and sales outlook?
Answer:
INTUNE is nearing store-level EBITDA breakeven. Full profitability (including costs) is expected by FY26. Mature stores show 25% higher productivity (Rs.11,000/sq ft). Revenue of Rs.350-400 crore should drive breakeven.
Question 4:
How sustainable is the 4-5% LFL growth given market challenges?
Answer:
Confidence stems from initiatives like India Weds campaigns (targeting Rs.300 crore annually), renovated stores (e.g., Malad's 50% productivity jump), and premiumization. Early Q4 trends are promising.
Question 5:
Why is Shoppers Stop's Beauty growth lagging Nykaa's?
Answer:
Shoppers prioritizes sustainable growth via in-store experiences over aggressive discounting. Online-heavy players face pressure to sustain promotions, while Shoppers focuses on premium/experiential segments.
Question 6:
How is in-store space rationalization managed?
Answer:
Brand/category performance is reviewed every 6 months using GMROF (profit/sq ft). Underperformers are replaced. Beauty/watches gained space in renovations, while unprofitable private labels were trimmed.
Question 7:
What is the future of private labels?
Answer:
Private labels remain focused on profitability, not volume. Core categories (e.g., Kashish for women, Bandeya for men) thrived, while non-core segments (footwear/handbags) were reduced.
Question 8:
What are INTUNE's expansion targets and store economics?
Answer:
Targets: 85 stores by FY25-end, 90-100 in FY26. Average store size: 5,000 sq ft. Capex: Rs.1.6-1.7 crore/store. Inventory cycle: 6-8 weeks. Payback: ~3 years, improving with maturity.
Question 9:
Why have short-term borrowings increased?
Answer:
Borrowings fund capex (Rs.230 crore FY25) and INTUNE's working capital (Rs.50-60 crore). EBITDA is expected to align with capital needs from FY26, reducing reliance on debt.
Question 10:
Are dividends or bonuses planned?
Answer:
No current plans. Capital is prioritized for growth (store expansions, renovations). Dividends are evaluated annually, with no discussions in Q3.
