PC Jeweller Q3 Profit Rises To 52%

PC Jeweller Ltd today reported 52 percent increase in its net profit at Rs 162.71 crore for quarter ended December on higher sales and profit margins.

The company, which has 84 retail jewellery stores across the country, had posted a net profit of Rs 106.97 crore in the year-ago period.

The total income (operating revenue plus other income) rose to Rs 2,690.42 crore in the third quarter of this fiscal from Rs 2,121.28 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year.

PC Jeweller MD Balram Garg said “Our profit has increased in the third quarter because of higher sales and 3 per cent increase in profit margins. We have sold more diamond jewellery. Number of retail stores is expected to touch 100 by end of this fiscal. Of the current 84 stores, about 10 are on franchisee model. The lower base due to note ban in the December quarter of 2016 also helped in achieving higher percentage growth".

Company said in a statement “It also feels that these growth targets are sustainable for the coming years as well as the shift from unorganised to organised is going to continue. The company remains confident of growth in its market share in the coming years”.
