Quarter Snapshot
Titan delivered 25% ex-bullion revenue growth and 54% company-adjusted PAT growth, with all operating segments growing 24%+ and watches margin at 21.9%. However, headline PAT is inflated by a Rs.671 crore non-cash put-option credit and Rs.536 crore customs-duty gains — normalized growth is ~16% — and H1 CFO was negative at Rs.(11,177) crore with debt-equity at 1.51× ahead of the festive quarter. The key forward test is converting the Rs.50,861 crore inventory build into cash in Q3FY27, funded partly by the newly approved Rs.2,500 crore NCD program.
