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.
