Gokaldas Exports reported a good set of Q4FY21 numbers with sharp sequential revenue growth of 40% YoY to Rs. 369.9 crore (up 3.3% YoY). The previous quarter was significantly impacted as international retailers were saddled with excess spring-summer 2020 inventory. With a gradual recovery in US retail sales (~65% of revenues), the inventory situation seems to have normalised post being impacted by Covid-19 led lockdown. On account of higher raw material prices, gross margins for the quarter fell 380 bps YoY to 43.8%. However, significant cost saving initiatives (employee expenses down 12% YoY) led EBITDA margins to expand marginally by 23 bps YoY to 7.5%. On account of lower depreciation and higher other income (includes gain of forex fluctuations), PAT came in at Rs. 16.0 crore (Q4FY20: Rs. 5.9 crore, Q3FY21: Rs. 6.0 crore). Gokaldas has successfully navigated through challenging times with enhanced profitability and ensured on-time delivery. On the b/s front, it managed to reduce net debt by Rs. 38 crore to Rs. 166 crore (net D/E: 0.6x vs. 1.0x in FY20).
