Commenting on the performance Sunil Suresh, Managing Director said: “The financial year gone by was an important milestone for the Company, marked by the successful completion of our Initial Public Offering in June 2024. The listing has strengthened our financial base, enabling us to drive our strategic priorities across the premium and luxury home interiors market. For FY25, Stanley Lifestyles reported Revenue from Operations of Rs 4,262 million. The COCO retail business, which continues to be the key driver, grew by 12.7% QoQ and 13.5% YoY for FY25-Q4, the full year the growth stand at 8.5%, supported by consistent demand for premium and luxury furniture in key urban centres. Among our brand portfolio, Stanley Level Next led the performance with 15.5% YoY growth, while Stanley Boutique degrow by 9.2% YoY and Sofas & More grew by 11.8% YoY. We have witnessed some rebound in the footfall traction in Q3 and Q4. Our distribution business vertical saw short-term disruption due to a realignment in credit policies from credit to cash & carry model impacting volumes. This vertical is now stabilizing, and we expect growth momentum to return by Q3 FY26 as channel partners adjust to the revised terms. Meanwhile, the B2B segment remained flat throughout the year. Although there is an encouraging volume of enquiries, the conversion cycle is elongated, and we anticipate similar trends in FY26. This business will continue to be nurtured with a focus on project-driven execution timelines. On the profitability front, the localisation efforts and manufacturing efficiencies through in-house manufacturing has been progressing well, leading to an improvement of 237-bps in gross margins. The gross margin expanded to 56.3% in FY25 compared to 53.9% in FY24. As of FY25, we have 68 stores across India, comprising 44 COCO stores and 24 FOFO stores. COCO stores contributed 61% of total revenue, reinforcing our control over brand presentation, customer engagement and service quality. That said, our retail expansion during the year was measured. Despite the availability of IPO funds, the rollout plan was moderated due to a mismatch between expected rental terms and shortage of Grade A retail locations. Several high-traffic zones saw rental expectations that did not align with our business model, leading to delayed store launches. On the demand front, while structural indicators remain favorable, footfall remained less than expectations, primarily owing to lowerthan-expected residential handovers. We view this as a temporary lag rather than a demand deficit. The premium and luxury residential real estate sector is experiencing strong sales traction, and we continue to monitor housing handover schedules closely. Looking ahead, we are on track to opening 5 stores (3 COCO & 2 FOFO) in Q1 FY26, with a full-year target of 15 new stores with 3 stores planned relocation. Our focus remains on expanding in high-opportunity real estate clusters, improving inventory efficiencies at the store level and enhancing customer engagement through curated offerings. Additionally, the entry of imported furniture which is a major competition is poised for disruption, with the government's emphasis on BIS certification coming into effect from March’26. With a strong presence of retail stores in major metros supported by well-established fully integrated manufacturing capacity, Stanley Lifestyles is well-placed to capitalise on emerging opportunities in India’s premium and luxury furniture landscape.” Result PDF
