Pulkit Seth, Vice-Chairman & Non-Executive Director, said: “We are pleased to report another quarter of resilient performance in Q1FY26, with revenue rising 16.6% YoY to Rs 1,228 crore, despite the challenges in global macro environment. This marks our fifth consecutive quarter delivering above Rs 1,000 crore, a milestone that underscores consistency, executional discipline, and market responsiveness. This growth was led by enhanced contributions from Vietnam and Indonesia fueled by strong order book and healthy sales volumes despite amid ongoing tariff-related uncertainties. These markets demonstrated robust momentum—highlighting the power of our diversified geographic presence. This is a testament of our multi geographical presence. On the expansion front, we are carefully tracking market developments across all operating geographies. Any future investments will be undertaken in a measured manner, driven by sustained growth and stability in each target region. With a strong start to FY26, we are energized by the continued support of our customers and the depth of our global reach. Confident in our strategy and execution capabilities, we are well-positioned to accelerate progress toward our FY28 goals and beyond—driving transformative growth with clarity, purpose, and ambition." Pallab Banerjee, Managing Director, said: “We are delighted to share that Pearl Global has once again delivered strong quarterly revenue. On profitability front, our adjusted EBITDA (excluding ESOPs) stood at Rs 114 crore at 9.3%. EBITDA margin grew by 13.4% YoY despite the external challenges, notably due to US reciprocal tariffs. Our adjusted EBITDA margin stands at ~10.7%, excluding the impact of operational losses at newly established facilities in Guatemala and Bihar, and tariff-related costs. Looking ahead, the global landscape remains uncertain, with geopolitical tensions and evolving US tariff policies at play. We are seeing healthy growth in Indonesia and Vietnam, following the early resolution of tariff structures in these markets. Now that US has declared final reciprocal tariffs on all major garment manufacturing countries which are at 19%-20%. We are seeing positive momentum from US customers for our Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Guatemala (which is net 10% baseline and NO MFN tariff). With tariff imposed on India 50% (25%+25%), Pearl Global is therefore recalibrating its business strategy to adapt to these evolving trade dynamics. While production for the US market will be reassigned to more favourable hubs, India will continue to grow by tapping into new and advantageous partnerships—like the UK FTA—and will focus on other existing FTA markets of Japan and Australia until the US tariff issue is resolved. This approach reflects the company’s agility and long-term commitment to global value creation. It is pertinent to note that US revenue from Indian entity in FY25 stands at 16%-18% of group revenue and profit from the same business is between 4%-5% of the group’s profit. We believe such recalibrations should help in retaining the customer wallet share and maintaining the profitability. Our non-US business stands at ~50% of our topline is also witnessing steady growth, further underscoring the robustness of our diversified market. We remain confident in our growth strategy and will continue with our capital expenditure plan in Bangladesh reinforcing our long-term commitment to operational excellence.” Result PDF

On the global front, despite early-year disruptions in Bangladesh, we maintained operational resilience, achieving our highest-ever shipment volumes without any delays. Our focus on execution, supply chain agility, and cost discipline has strengthened the core financial foundation of the company. With a healthy balance sheet, a diversified customer base across geographies, and our sustained commitment to creating operating efficiencies, we are well-positioned to deliver consistent earnings growth and long-term shareholder value. The India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) further solidify our cost competitiveness in a high-margin market. Our multi-country manufacturing presence combined with stable cash flows gives us confidence in surpassing our FY28 vision—anchored on profitability, scalability, and value creation. As we embark on a new financial year, we are poised to sustain our momentum, strengthened by a solid customer base and an extensive global footprint. With confidence in our strategy and execution, we are ready to accelerate our objectives for FY28 and beyond, driving transformative growth with purpose and vision." Commenting on the Results, Pallab Banerjee, Managing Director said: “We are delighted to share that FY25 has been a year of strong performance and continued growth momentum. Our India business, with existing capacities, now reflects an annualized revenue potential of over Rs 1,600+ crore, well-positioned for accelerated expansion, supported by the UK FTA and other upcoming trade agreements. In India (Standalone business excl. Bihar), we reached a key milestone by delivering double-digit Adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.2% in Q4FY25, in line with the guidance on leverage playing out with volume. Excluding initial costs associated with Guatemala and Bihar, our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margins for Q4FY25 remained in the double-digit range, showcasing the underlying strength of our business. On the operations front, we shipped a record 74.3 million pieces in FY25 up from 56.9 million in FY24, reflecting deeper wallet share with existing clients and continued success in new client acquisitions. The recently concluded India-UK FTA is a strategic breakthrough for us, eliminating earlier duty disadvantages of 10–12% and putting Indian manufacturers on equal footing with countries like Bangladesh, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Turkey. We see the UK as a significant growth opportunity, with the potential to double or even triple its current ~5% contribution to our business within the next one to two yeaRs Our established UK-based design and sales office, coupled with a strong customer base, further reinforces this trajectory. With our strategy to strengthen the order book for the full year and a strong focus on targeted operational efficiency, we remain optimistic about offsetting the impact of the tariff upcharge over the fiscal year. As competitiveness improves across geographies, we are confident in building a robust order book and accelerating our growth targets.” Result PDF
