JM Financial Institutional Securities estimates Q2 consolidated revenue growth at 32%, and Ebitda margin 11.9%. Reported Ebitda margin in Q1 was 14.6%, aided by operating leverage and seasonal benefit; adjusted Ebitda margin excluding around 150 basis points impact of ESOP reversal in payroll cost, stood at 12.5%. Thus, Q2’s early double-digit operating margin is crucial, as it provides an early indication of whether operating leverage can be sustained and how much of the acceleration is sustainable.
Distribution
Honasa’s distribution is expanding, so consumer pull remains the test. “Our channel checks with distributors across key markets highlight that offline execution remains central to the next phase of growth. The offline channel accounts for ~35% of the business, while its contribution for Mamaearth is higher at 50%+,” said HDFC Securities. The company’s direct reach is around 120,000 outlets and is expected to reach 300,000 by FY31.
