Senco Gold Limited’s share price saw a significant drop of 18.05%, trading at ₹366.30 as of 10:03 AM IST on February 14, 2025. The stock opened at ₹380.00 and reached a low of ₹362.90, reflecting investor concerns following the company’s weaker-than-expected financial results for Q3 FY25.

Today’s fall ended Senco Gold’s two-day gaining streak of approximately 1.3%.

Senco Gold’s Q3 FY25 Financial Highlights

The company’s PAT fell to ₹33.48 crore in the October- December quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared to ₹109.32 crore in the same period last year, while the adjusted PAT also saw a similar 50.9% decline, dropping to ₹53.74 crore.

Despite the sharp drop in profits, the company reported a 27.3% increase in revenue from operations, which rose to ₹2,102.55 crore in Q3FY25 from ₹1,652.20 crore in the same period last year.

However, EBITDA declined by 55.8% year-on-year, falling to ₹79.96 crore from ₹181.1 crore in the corresponding period last year, and the adjusted EBITDA also decreased by 40.4%, dropping to ₹107.55 crore.

As a result, the EBITDA margin contracted significantly, falling to 3.8% in Q3FY25 from 11.0% in Q3FY24.

Senco Gold Targets 7%-8% EBITDA Margin, Remains Optimistic

Senco Gold attributed the margin pressure to the impact of custom duties but remains optimistic about its long-term prospects.

The company aims to achieve an annualised EBITDA margin of 7%-8%, excluding one-off events, and has stated that the lower margins in October- December quarter were temporary.

The adjusted EBITDA margin for the first nine months was 6.0%, and the company expects improvement in the fourth quarter, driven by its brand positioning and operational leverage. Senco Gold also plans to enhance sales through premium offerings and pricing strategies, with the goal of becoming the second most trusted brand in the jewellery sector.
