The year 25-26 witnessed heavy fluctuations in Gold and Silver prices almost on a regular basis specifically in the secondhalf of 25-26. A steep unstopped monthly increase of gold & silver prices created issue on the affordability of resources inthe hands of the customer. This up normal price escalation resulted in,
a. Marginal drop in volume in SSS outlets.
b. Larger arrival of old gold for new jewellery exchanges.
c. Substantive funding requirements for hedged inventory for both margin wise and MTM calls,
d. Uneven offtake in market place compelled by uncertainties prevailed,
e. Geo-political continued difficulties particularly of IRAN war in West Asia contributed to uncertainties in the Jewellerytrade.
In this backdrop, your Company managed to better its results in all financial parameters with the help of shift in pricingstrategy and adoption of tech based tools for better revenue growth. Though, the revenue increase was attribute to gold& silver price escalation the Chennai Metro penetration at the right time also significantly contributed to our improvedperformance.

Both Revenue & PAT were the highest in the history of the Company. It was made possible partly to resounding success inthe new areas - Chennai Metro & surroundings and also due to better contribution from non-gold segment besides positiveimpact on the elevated gold & silver price prevailed.

EXPANSION OF RETAIL OUTLETS
In the FY 25-26, the Company opened 10 outlets at an outlay of Rs.78,298 lakhs Crores funded by all the major threesources - equity infusion, customer advances and bank borrowings. It is heartening to note that the Chennai Division hascontributed to nearly 20% of total Revenue on annualized basis and promising to move up in the ladder on completion ofsecond phase of expansion to 25% in FY 27-28.
In the light of successful penetration to Chennai market, the company planned to open at least nine outlets in FY 26-27 forwhich initial civil / interior works are on. The entire expansion phase II will be completed by 31/12/2026. The fund neededboth for Capex and working capital requirements are already tied up.
We wish to state that our funding rationale of 1/3 of equity, customer advances and bank borrowings will be respected inour expansion plan as well. The Company has already obtained necessary sanctions from member bankers up to ' 1,412Crores as working capital facilities that is sufficient in the current context to complete our expansion plan-II in ChennaiMetro & surrounding areas.

You may also note that our last 5 years CAGR growth in Revenue at 40% and in PAT at 74% . This consistency in performancewell above the industry normal was made possible with effective inventory/ liquidity management and cost effective modelof delivery.

The share capital of the Company is at Rs. 3108 lakhs comprising 3,10,82,021 no of equity shares at a face value of Rs.10/-each.
The company has got a well-defined operative "Hedging" mechanism in place. The metal loan availed from banks andthe advances received from customers for future delivery objectives are covered under natural hedge against gold pricefluctuations. A portion of other inventories is also hedged with MCX platform by paying margin and meeting day-to-dayMTM (marked to market) obligations.
This is done based on daily sales criteria. In aggregate, the hedging is at 95% as against 96% of last year. You may note thatin the last five years, the hedging portion is progressively improved. We are fully committed to hedging in the prevailingvolatility in gold price behavior. The company is fully confident on sustaining the operating profit as per the goals set.
Portion of gold metal is hedging in our inventory.
The required working capital for the current year based on the estimates done, the company is fully supported by varioussources of finance.
The secured working capital outstanding borrowings of the company as at 31st March 2026 stood at ' 70,449 lakhs asagainst ' 60,291 lakhs of the previous year. The aggregate working capital facilities from multiple banking arrangement isat ' 130,700 lakhs. The current drawing power covers the sanctioned limits fully.
The eligible fixed deposits limit from public & shareholders is at ' 38,582 lakhs . However, the company took only ' 7,316lakhs. Overall Interest outflows have increased marginally due to improved utilization of working capital borrowings causedby hedging MTM requirements and also due to steep increase in metal loan servicing cost up to 5% as against 2.5% in lastyear. For the current year 26-27, slowly metal loan interest rate is coming down. Based on the likely offtake post secondphase expansion, the blended cost of external funding will be 5.5% to 5.75% per annum.
a. Though gold and silver prices stabilized and currently settled at lower level, the steep increase impact up to 58% in goldand 204 % in silver even current prices affects the business as customers affordability could not match the steep risein prices.
b. Due to highly working capital intensive model aggravated by steep rise in gold and silver prices, PAT less dividend cashavailable in the system is not commensurate to the incremental working capital requirements.
c. High level of competitive intensity.
d. Exceptional substantial allocation of capital is required for huge advertisement and publicity to improve the visibilityand recall factors associated with brand building exercise required for expansion in places where the brand is notfamiliar.
e. Huge leverage backed demand for other consumption based discretionary expenses due to emergence of aspirationalclass in population.
a. Completion of second phase of Chennai division expansion of outlets.
b. Improve revenue and EBITDA contribution from non-gold segment.
c. Continued support from customer advances portfolio (pre-sale)
d. Optimum utilization of brand equity built and opening of new Metro outlets and in SSS outlets also.
e. Model is redesigned to accumulate the absolute contribution concept as against universally followed maximization ofunit realization concept generally followed by the trade;
f. Make use of all synergies available in the system to continue the delivery at most cost effective manner;
g. Better amortization of "Fixed costs" on enlarged retail sales.
h. Maintaining a larger unutilized reserves to take advantages thrown open by the fluctuating / uncertain eco system.
i. Improved product mix in value terms of high contribution items.
j. Honourable Prime Minister, in recent days made an appeal to general public to defer purchase of gold jewellery inorder to reduce current account deficit (forex). Followed by his assertion, Govt of India on 13/05/2026 by notificationincreased the import duty with immediate effect for gold & silver from 6% to 15%. This may have an impact on thedemand for gold & silver jewellery in coming months in an already sagging demand scenario. However, customersslowly shifted to exchange of gold for new jewellery purchases in the past several months. From a historic average ofaround 25% currently, the exchange gold sales ranges from 50% to 60% of current sales. We have to wait and see thepublic reaction to these directives initiated by Govt. of India. The steep rise in import duty by 150% (from 6% to 15%) ingold and silver on actual realization basis may result in "inventory gains" to the company around Rs.60 Crs at currentmarket prices prevailing for gold & silver products.
Except for unforeseen circumstances, the management is confident of bettering the performance in the short to mediumof term on the areas prioritized.

The Risk management process at TMJL revolves around identification of all risks of internal and external and undertakingrisk mitigation measures so that monitoring their impact would be process driven with a view to take corrective course ofactions.
Industry Risk
Jewellery industry dominated by gold metal in India and is going through a shrinking phase in the discretionary context ofcustomers priorities for purchases together with wide gold price movements. Business is shifting from unorganized sectorto corporates with deep pockets of resources to sustain the cyclical risk impact.
Your company enlarged its wings in semi and rural areas where the existing business is shifting to organized players like us.The shrinking size risk is mitigated by adding value added products in the portfolio and also by selling other popular brandsunder our umbrella.
Regulatory Risk
The Government has implemented more stringent regulatory measures in all aspects of the trade starting from compliancesunder various Acts including Income tax and customer friendly Hallmarking, etc., in a speedier manner.
Your company has already adapted to the changes in the trade requirements and in fact would be a beneficiary under GSTregulations.
Commodity Risk
Gold being a commodity, price is influenced by various factors including demand and supply. Even though we buy goldwhenever we sell on the same day, in order not to carry the risk of price fluctuations, the underlying stock on a given datecertainly affected by the price movement. The impact of it either positive or negative often shadowed the real operatingcapabilities of the company. Your company has an inbuilt hedging mechanism to mitigate the extreme fluctuations in goldprice movement. Currently we maintain the ratio of 96:4 between hedged and un-hedged closing stock inventory in anygiven date. This strategy helped us to maintain our performance, besides ensuring liquidity in the system.
Every aspect, of the risks components mentioned in the earlier paras, were carefully evaluated by the respective teams andreported to Board at intervals to reset the strategies and policies that may tend to be appropriate and re-assuring in thechanged realities.
Cost Risk
The brand building and establishment cost increased in recent years due to growth aspirations. New business can beidentified by enhancing the visibility of the Brand. It involves a huge cost on a recurring basis even though the positiveimpact could be seen in later years.
Your Company by taking into advantages of low cost retailer tag has already spent larger sums for advertisement andpublicity. This will go a long way in expanding the retail outlets in larger parts of Tamil Nadu and the cost currently incurredwould be amortized among larger number of retail outlets in the days to come.
Growth Risk
The industry suffers from the introduction of sovereign gold bond and also by the penetration of "E-commerce" activityin the trade. New territorial expansion often results in burning cash in the form of excessive fixed cost in the earlier yearsanticipating a sustainable business later that is not guaranteed.
Your Company though strategically decided to grow but restricted its inroads into current territorial places in a deeper andconcentrated manner so that fixed cost impact will not be felt by the company as an adverse factor. We opt for Asset lessmodel and therefore the risk of growth in unknown places is mitigated to that extent.
Financial risk
Stretched financials could hamper business sustainability. The Company's gearing as at 31st March 2026 stood at 0.78 timeswhich is among one of the best in the target corporates of the industry.
The company is consistently reducing its high-cost debts and leverage only when it is self-liquidating in nature. All thefinancial indicators are improving including risk weighted Return on Equity.
However, all our retails outlets expansion plan is going forward smoothly. Our learning out of first wave has helped us torearrange resources and improve our operating efficiencies.
