Senco Gold Q1 FY27 Results: Revenue Jumps 65%, Retail Sales Rise 50%; Company Targets 20%+ Growth in FY27
Senco Gold Limited has started FY27 on a strong note, reporting robust growth in revenue, retail sales and same-store sales during the first quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company’s Q1 FY27 investor presentation highlights strong consumer demand despite a sharp rise in gold prices, continued showroom expansion, growing digital sales and a focus on an asset-light franchise model.
The company presented its Q1 FY27 results to the exchanges on August 12, 2026, under the NSE symbol SENCO and BSE scrip code 543936.
Senco Gold Q1 FY27: Key Highlights
| Particulars | Q1 FY27 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | ₹3,006.7 crore | +65% |
| Retail Sales | ₹2,651.5 crore | +50% |
| Same Store Sales Growth | 39% | Strong growth |
| EBITDA | ₹222.5 crore | +22% |
| EBITDA Margin | 7.4% | — |
| PAT | ~₹101 crore | — |
| Average Selling Price | ₹82,600 | — |
| Average Ticket Value | ₹1,24,200 | — |
| Showrooms | 209 | — |
The company’s consolidated revenue from operations increased to ₹3,006.7 crore in Q1 FY27, compared with ₹1,824.6 crore in Q1 FY26. EBITDA increased 22% YoY to ₹222.5 crore, with EBITDA margin at 7.4%.
Revenue Growth Remains Strong
Senco Gold reported one of its strongest Q1 performances in recent years. Consolidated revenue grew 67% YoY according to management commentary, while the detailed financial table in the presentation reports revenue from operations growth of 65% YoY. The difference appears to relate to the presentation’s different reporting bases/rounding, so investors should refer to the detailed financial statements for reported financial numbers.
Retail sales were particularly strong, rising 50% YoY to ₹2,651.5 crore.
More importantly, same-store sales growth (SSSG) stood at 39%, indicating that growth was not solely dependent on opening new stores. The company attributed the performance to higher footfall, conversions, premiumisation and continued customer preference for its jewellery offerings.
This is an important metric for investors because sustained SSSG can improve store productivity and operating leverage as the company’s showroom network matures.
Gold Prices Remained a Major Operating Factor
The quarter was characterised by significant gold price volatility.
According to the presentation:
- Average gold price increased 61% YoY
- Average gold price was around ₹15,280 per gram
- Quarter-end gold price was ₹14,253 per gram
- Quarter-end price was up 48% YoY but down 3% QoQ
Despite elevated gold prices, Senco maintained strong retail growth.
The company also highlighted its old-gold exchange programme as an important tool for customers looking to upgrade jewellery without absorbing the full impact of higher gold prices.
Old Gold Exchange Continues to Support Sales
Old-gold exchange accounted for approximately 43% of total sales quantity, according to management.
Senco’s exchange programme allows customers to exchange old jewellery—even jewellery purchased from another jeweller—with zero deduction under its programme, helping customers upgrade to new designs.
The investor presentation also shows old jewellery exchange as a significant component of the company’s gold sourcing strategy.
This model becomes particularly relevant when gold prices are elevated because customers can use existing jewellery holdings to partially fund new purchases.
Diamond Jewellery Growth Accelerates
Diamond jewellery continued to perform well during the quarter.
The company reported:
- 43% YoY growth in diamond jewellery value
- 18% growth in diamond jewellery volumes
Growth was supported by lower-ticket products priced below ₹50,000, the Everlite range, a wider 9K and 14K assortment, and new designs.
The company is also looking to increase the contribution of higher-margin categories such as diamond, Polki, Temple and Antique jewellery as part of its broader strategy.
Senco Gold Q1 FY27 Profitability
Senco Gold’s Q1 FY27 EBITDA stood at ₹222.5 crore, compared with ₹182.2 crore in Q1 FY26, representing 22% YoY growth.
However, EBITDA margin declined to 7.4% from 10% in the year-ago quarter.
Management attributed margin movement to factors including discounting, gold price movements, customs duty changes, and product mix. The company nevertheless remains focused on improving margins through better inventory management, premiumisation and operating leverage.
Management stated that the company remains focused on its guided EBITDA margin range of 7.5%-7.8% for FY27.
PAT for Q1 FY27 was approximately ₹101 crore, with a PAT margin of around 3.3%.
Inventory Optimisation Becomes a Key Focus
One notable development in Q1 was inventory reduction.
Management said inventory was reduced by approximately ₹300 crore, resulting in an improvement in inventory days.
The presentation shows inventory days at approximately 152 days in Q1 FY27, compared with 151 days in FY26 and significantly below the levels seen in earlier years.
Improving inventory turnover is strategically important for a jewellery retailer because a significant amount of capital is tied up in gold and jewellery inventory.
Senco Gold Expands to 209 Showrooms
Senco Gold continued to expand its retail network during Q1 FY27.
The company ended the quarter with 209 showrooms, including 89 franchisee stores, 13 Sennes stores and two UAE stores, across 133 towns and cities.
During Q1, the company added eight net showrooms:
- 3 COCO stores
- 4 franchise stores
- 1 Sennes showroom
Management expects to open another 12-15 showrooms during the remainder of FY27. The expansion will increasingly focus on franchise-led growth, Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, and strengthening its presence beyond its traditional eastern India stronghold.
Franchise Model: An Important Growth Driver
The franchise model is one of Senco Gold’s major strategic advantages.
The company uses both FOFO (Franchise Owned, Franchise Operated) and FOCO (Franchise Owned, Company Operated) models.
According to the presentation, franchise stores contribute approximately 33% of revenue, while the company has increasingly used the model to enter Tier-III and Tier-IV cities under its broader Bharat strategy.
The franchisee generally invests in store capex and inventory working capital, allowing Senco to expand its footprint with relatively lower capital requirements.
This asset-light strategy could help the company increase its store network while protecting return ratios.
Digital Sales Show Strong Momentum
Senco is also strengthening its omnichannel strategy.
During Q1 FY27:
- Around 18,000 orders were fulfilled through e-commerce channels, including quick commerce
- Digital sales increased 164% YoY
- Senco’s website recorded more than 3.09 million visits
The company is using its websites, apps and digital platforms to connect online and offline customer journeys.
The company operates multiple digital platforms, including Senco Gold, My Digi Gold, My Digi Silver, Everlite, Sennes and Sencoverse.
Lightweight Jewellery and Premiumisation
Changing consumer preferences are becoming an important part of Senco’s growth strategy.
The company highlighted continued demand for:
- Lightweight jewellery
- Daily-wear jewellery
- Fancy jewellery
- Gifting products
- Design-led jewellery
Senco is using brands such as Everlite, Sennes and Gossip to target younger consumers, including millennials and Gen Z.
The company’s strategy also calls for increasing the studded jewellery ratio from around 11% to more than 15%, which could support a higher-margin product mix.
Senco Gold FY27 Growth Guidance
One of the key takeaways for investors is the company’s FY27 outlook.
Management remains focused on achieving:
20%+ value growth in FY27
The company is also targeting an EBITDA margin in the range of 7.5%-7.8%.
The growth strategy includes:
