# 1. Financial Performance ## A. Key Figures * **Revenue:** **₹785 Cr** Q2 FY26 (+16% YoY) * EBITDA: ₹76 Cr (+32% YoY) · Margin: 9.6% (+120 bps) * **PAT:** **₹23 Cr** · **+317% YoY growth** * **Depreciation:** Reduced from **₹28–30 Cr** to **~₹10 Cr** * **Cost of Debt:** **<7%** * **Annual Debt Repayment:** **₹100–120 Cr** ## B. Revenue Growth * **Strong Core Growth:** Like-for-like revenue (ex-trading) rose sequentially, reflecting robust underlying demand and **improved product mix** despite a sharp drop in non-core trading income. * **Volume-Driven Expansion:** Top-line growth fueled by higher volumes and operational scaling, though overall revenue growth was partially masked by **₹50 Cr decline in trading income**. ## C. Profit Margins * **Margin Acceleration:** EBITDA margin expanded significantly on **lower input costs, operating leverage, and mix benefits**, with gross margin gains broad-based across multiple drivers. * **Sustainable Profitability:** Management views current margin levels as sustainable, with **garment division achieving ~12% EBITDA margin**, indicating upside potential in higher-value segments. * **PAT Impact:** While a **one-time ₹15 Cr net benefit** from revised depreciation policy boosted PAT, strong operational performance underpinned the majority of profit growth. * **ROE Trajectory:** Low historical ROE attributed to past margin weakness, but rising EBITDA and PAT set foundation for structural ROE improvement. ## D. Balance Sheet * **Depreciation Policy Update:** Change reflects actual asset lives and industry norms—**non-cash adjustment** with no impact on cash flows or tax outgo. * **Debt Reduction Plan:** Company targets **₹350 Cr debt reduction over 3 years** amid post-capex deleveraging, supported by strong internal cash generation. ## E. Cash Flow * **Working Capital Gradient:** Capital intensity increases up the value chain, with **fabric division requiring 30–45 days more working capital** than yarn due to higher inventory and receivables. * **Cash Flow Integrity:** No incremental cash tax impact from depreciation change; integrated model supports stable cash conversion. --- # 2. Capacity & Utilization ## A. Key Figures * **Yarn Capacity Utilization:** **>90%** (with +4–5% upside potential) * **Garment Utilization:** **35%** (up from 25%) · **Target: 60–65%** next quarter * **Fabric & Denim Utilization Uplift Potential:** **+10–12%** * **Target Turnover:** **INR 4,000 Cr** at ~90% utilization ## B. Yarn Division * **Capex Cycle Complete:** All capacities now fully operational, driving higher volumes and underpinning margin gains through **strong capacity utilization**. * **Utilization Headroom:** Yarn division can achieve incremental gains of **4% to 5%** via efficiency or minor capex, with no near-term expansion plans needed. * **Margins Driven Internally:** Recent improvements in yarn realizations and margins stem from **operational leverage**, not market tailwinds, highlighting cost absorption strength. * **Pricing Stability:** Absence of new industry capacity reduces competitive pressure, supporting stable domestic pricing power. ## C. Fabric Division * **Significant Idle Capacity:** Denim and PV fabric divisions have **10–15% utilization upside**, indicating substantial unexploited scale potential. ## D. Garment Division * **Recovery Underway:** Garment utilization rebounded to **35%** after four quarters of declines, reflecting successful order book rebuilding. * **Near-Term Ramp-Up Targeted:** Management expects utilization to jump to **60–65%** next quarter, closing gap with other divisions. * **Strategic Focus Area:** Garments represent the primary lever for future volume growth, with plans to scale operations actively underway. --- # 3. Product & Segment Mix ## A. Key Figures * **Consolidated Verticals:** **4** (denim, cotton yarn, PV yarn, synthetic fabric) ## B. Cotton & Synthetics * **Diversified Operations:** Business spans four integrated verticals, creating complex but strategic margin interplay across product lines. ## C. Higher-Margin Shift * **Profitability Focus:** Revenue growth underpinned by a deliberate shift toward **higher-margin products**, indicating successful portfolio optimization. --- # 4. Export & Geography Mix ## A. Key Figures * **Export Share:** **~37%** of total sales (current quarter) · **35–40%** historical range (stable outlook) * **B. S. Exposure:** **<1%** of total sales ## B. Export Share * **Strategic Market, Not Competitor:** Bangladesh is a major export destination for **yarn and denim fabrics**, eliminating pricing pressure from local suppliers and reinforcing India’s supply chain advantage. * **Margin Parity:** Export and domestic operations deliver **similar margin profiles**, indicating no strategic differentiation between markets despite higher export revenue visibility. ## C. Key Markets * **Europe: Growing Demand:** European market shows improving sentiment with **rising demand for Indian-made fabrics and yarns**, benefiting Sangam, though the company remains focused on textile exports, not garments. ## D. U.S. Exposure * **Negligible Tariff Impact:** Despite 50% U.S. tariffs on textiles, Sangam faces **no material exposure** due to minimal direct sales; indirect risks are mitigated via third-country shipments (e.g., Bangladesh, Africa). * **Client Channeling:** Sales to U.S. clients like **Walmart** are routed through lower-tariff jurisdictions, preserving margins and market access. --- # 5. Input Cost & Supply ## A. Key Figures * **Cotton Import Mix:** **30%–35%** (seasonal) * **Power Cost Savings:** **₹10 Cr** annual savings from 12 MW captive renewable project * **Yarn Price Change:** **+2% to +3%** QoQ (Q1 to Q2) * **Cotton Price Exposure:** Limited to **30–45 days** of risk via strategic stocking and order book management ## B. Cotton Sourcing * **Proactive Risk Mitigation:** Strategic procurement during low-price windows and tight order book control limit cotton price and quality volatility exposure to under 45 days. * **Import Reliance Temporary:** Elevated import share reflects seasonal domestic supply gap; long-term sourcing remains predominantly domestic and product-driven. * **Duty Certainty:** Current cotton import duty exemption remains in place through **31 December**, with no pending changes. ## C. Price Volatility * **Turning Point in Input Costs:** Cotton and yarn prices have stabilized after an 8–10 quarter downtrend, with early signs of upward correction supporting margin recovery. * **Margin Tailwinds Emerge:** Bottoming of yarn and cotton prices has enabled improved realizations and contributed to margin expansion, despite muted industry-wide EBITDA impact to date. * **Pricing Flexibility:** Business model allows absorption or pass-through of cotton price swings within **one to two months**, minimizing operational disruption. ## D. Power Costs * **Renewables Drive Savings:** 12 MW captive renewable project in Rajasthan to deliver **₹10 Cr** in annual savings starting December, reinforcing cost discipline. * **Grid Cost Context:** Current Rajasthan grid tariffs range between **₹5–₹25/unit**, highlighting the economic advantage of captive renewable adoption. --- # 6. Risks & Cotton Exposure ## A. Raw Material Swings * **No Near-Term Margin Risks:** Management sees **no macro risks** to margins or capacity utilization from raw material volatility. ## B. Inventory Management * **Clean Inventory Position:** No substantial markdowns impacting profitability; only routine minor liquidations of stagnant stock. --- # 7. Guidance & Outlook ## A. Key Figures * **Revenue Guidance:** **12%–15%** annual growth (FY26–FY29) · **₹3,200–3,300 Cr** projected for current year * EBITDA Margin Outlook: 10%–11% current base expanding to 11%–12% in coming quarters * **Capex & Asset Base:** Gross block to reach **~₹1,800 Cr** by FY25 · **₹50–70 Cr/year** ongoing maintenance capex ## B.
