MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
A. ECONOMY / INDUSTRY SCENARIO General Economy:
• During most part of FY 2025-26 baring the last few months, the
global economy experienced steady but subdued growth, shaped by easing inflationary
pressures, cautious monetary policy adjustments and persistent geopolitical and trade
related uncertainties. While inflation moderated across most regions, enabling central
banks to initiate measured monetary easing, interest rates in several economies remained
elevated compared to historical norms.
• Manufacturing stabilized with recovery in sectors like
electronics, clean energy, defence, and capital goods.
• Rapid adoption of AI, automation, and smart manufacturing became
central to operations.
• Supply chains diversified through near-shoring and
"China+1" strategies, improving resilience but raising costs.
• Services led global growth, especially IT, finance, healthcare,
and travel services.
• Energy transition investments accelerated, focusing on
renewables, EVs, semiconductors, and critical minerals.
• Against this backdrop, the Indian economy demonstrated
resilience and macroeconomic stability during FY 2025-26, despite a challenging global
environment.
• Growth was primarily supported by strong domestic consumption,
sustained public capital expenditure and a gradual improvement in private investment
activity.
• Inflation was contained, supporting consumer confidence.
• External stability was maintained through strong services
exports, remittances, and forex reserves.
• Late-year geopolitical tensions increased oil prices and
logistics costs but had limited overall impact due to strong domestic fundamentals.
• Overall, the year 2025-26 reflected moderate global growth with
uncertainty, while India showed strong stability and long-term resilience.
Industry:
• During FY 2025-26, the Kitchenware and Kitchen Appliances
segment, in which your Company primarily operates, saw steady growth, supported by
resilient domestic demand, urbanisation, and evolving consumer preferences across
categories such as pressure cookers, cookware, gas stoves, and small appliances.
• Despite global challenges like supply chain shifts, commodity
volatility, and geopolitical tensions, the industry maintained momentum due to strong
domestic demand.
• Growth was driven by replacement demand, rising incomes,
organised retail expansion, and adoption of modular kitchens, with increased demand for
non-gas appliances in the final quarter driven due to the conflicts witnessed in the
middle east.
• Consumers increasingly preferred convenient, energy efficient,
and premium products, though affordability remained important in price-sensitive segments.
• Competition intensified with multiple players, driving focus on
pricing, innovation, branding, and omni-channel distribution.
• Moderate cost pressures persisted, with late-year geopolitical
tensions raising input and freight costs, though impacts were manageable through sourcing
and pricing strategies.
• Local manufacturing gained traction, supported by policy
initiatives, while sustainability considerations grew in importance.
Consumer/Channel Scenario:
• In FY 2025-26, the Kitchenware and Kitchen Appliances industry
continued shifting toward an omnichannel model, blending traditional trade, modern retail,
and ecommerce.
• General trade and exclusive outlets remained key, while
organised retail expanded in urban and semiurban areas. Ecommerce and quickcommerce grew
strongly, driven by convenience and wider product availability.
• Demand remained largely domestic, supported by steady incomes,
replacement demand, and focus on convenience and home improvement.
• Consumers preferred branded, durable, and feature rich products,
with premiumisation trends visible in urban markets, while value considerations remained
important in mass segments.
• Health, safety, ease of use, and energy efficiency became key
purchase factors, along with brand trust and after sales service.
• Promotional offers and digital marketing significantly
influenced buying decisions.
• The year saw stable demand and a balanced channel mix, with
companies having strong brands and multichannel reach were better positioned to grow.
Export Market:
• In FY 2025-26, exports were moderate, impacted by subdued global
demand, higher freight costs, and geopolitical uncertainties.
• Merchandise exports faced pressure from slow growth and supply
chain disruptions, while services exports remained relatively resilient.
• Late-year West Asia tensions increased logistics challenges and
costs, affecting timelines and margins; however, diversified markets and cost management
helped keep overall exports stable.
B. ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE:
• Your Company had a sales growth of around 9.6% during the
financial year and the growth was seen across categories and in all key channels thus
breaking the low-growth phase seen in the last few years.
• Your Company continues to maintain leadership positions in all
the key categories like Pressure Cookers, Cookware, Value added Gas Stoves, Induction
Cooktop, Kettles, etc and has seen improvements in its market share in most of these
categories.
• During the year Company focussed on introduction of new
innovative products across categories including Cooker, cast iron cookware, light weight
cast iron cookware, Safesense Kitchen Hood, range of Triply Cookware, Gas Stoves,
Induction - Radiant Heater Combo Cooktops, Hobs, Mixer Grinders, Air Fryers and other
small domestic appliances. The new introductions constituted more than 30% of the sales.
• While for some of the new & innovative products are imported
from China, the indigenisation of its manufacturing in India is also undergoing.
• The General Trade had seen good growth during the year after a
lag of around 3 years. Prestige Xclusives, Modern Format Stores had also seen a
substantial growth during this year, while E-Commerce continued to lead this growth.
• During the year, your Company introduced range of innovative
'Go-To-Market' (GTM) strategies that enabled sustained and consistent growth across all
quarters. These initiatives strengthened the Company's performance across various channels
and product categories, reinforcing its market position.
• Your company has established a strong and well- balanced
presence across all distribution channels, consistently nurturing positive and
collaborative relationships with its channel partners, both online and offline. It has
proactively managed and minimized channel conflicts without diluting product value or
resorting to aggressive, unsustainable pricing strategies. At the same time, the company
has effectively addressed distribution gaps, ensuring wider consumer reach through a
seamless integration of traditional and modern trade channels.
• The Company offers a diversified product portfolio, including
Pressure Cookers, Cookware, Kitchen Electrical Appliances, Gas Stoves, Induction Cooktops,
and Small Domestic Appliances. The category-wise turnover is detailed in the table below.

• The domestic sales registered a growth of 9.8% with the Sales
increasing from Rs 2464 Crores to Rs 2704 Crores.
• The Sales through MFIs to Rural markets and Canteen Stores
Department (CSD) continued to be a challenge during the year
• During the year, the traditional channel, comprising general
trade, exclusive stores, e-commerce, and modern trade, delivered robust growth of 11.6%.
Despite this strong performance, weaker traction in Rural and CSD tempered the overall
domestic market growth, which stood at 9.8%.
• Judge, positioned as a tactical brand, has demonstrated strong
progress following its repositioning in FY 2023-24. The brand contributed approximately
'108 crores to sales during the year, compared to Rs 68 crores in the previous
year—representing a robust growth of 59%. This performance was supported by the
launch of several new products and a further expansion of the Company's distribution
network for Judge brand offerings. This brand is segmented with differentiated product
portfolio and distribution strategy to ensure non-cannibalisation of Prestige branded
sales.
• Exports continued to be impacted by the weak global economic
environment and evolving geopolitical uncertainties. As a result, export sales during the
year stood at Rs 68.3 crores as compared to Rs 66.6 crores in the previous year,
reflecting a marginal growth of
2.6%. The ongoing West Asia crisis further affected performance, with
certain orders remaining unfulfilled due to disruptions and closures of key shipping
routes.
• Commodity prices, including aluminium, stainless steel (SS),
tri-ply materials, copper, etc. witnessed an upward trend from the third quarter of the
financial year. This increase in input costs prompted the Company to implement selective
price revisions across certain product categories towards the latter part of Q3, with the
objective of safeguarding gross margins during the year. The upward pressure on commodity
prices has continued even in Q4 and post year-end, driven by the ongoing West Asia crisis,
further intensifying cost challenges.
• Investment for Long Term Strategy and Plan
o As communicated earlier, your Company had, in the previous year,
articulated a comprehensive long-term strategy with an overall planned outlay of
approximately Rs 500 crores over a period of three years, commencing from Q4 of FY
2024-25.
o This strategic investment is broadly categorized into:
- Business Excellence Initiatives (Revenue): Rs 200 crores
- Capital Expenditure (Capex): Rs 300 crores
o Under this plan, the Company has been actively working towards
achieving holistic business excellence, encompassing:
- Innovation and product development
- Design capabilities
- Manufacturing and sourcing efficiencies
- Go-to-market strategies with sharper segmentation
- Logistics cost optimization
- Customer service enhancement
o Key initiatives undertaken during the year include:
- Strengthening innovation teams across both Kitchen Appliances and
Kitchenware segments
- Establishing a dedicated Innovation Lab for Kitchen Appliances
- Streamlining manufacturing operations and sourcing processes
- Driving digitization initiatives across functions
- Implementing cost optimization measures
o The progress across these initiatives remains aligned with the
planned roadmap.
o While most of these efforts are medium- to longterm in nature, the
Company has already begun
witnessing early benefits during the current year, with more
substantial gains expected as implementation matures.
o The investment program is designed to strengthen the core business
segments, namely:
- Pressure Cookers & Cookware
- Domestic Kitchen Appliances (electric and non-electric)
- Select Export Markets with potential
o Where required, the Company continues to leverage external expertise
in specialized domains to accelerate execution. This strategic plan is expected to:
- Enable sustainable revenue growth
- Improve operational efficiency and cost structures
- Deliver long-term value creation
o However, given the upfront nature of certain onetime "soft"
investments, there may be a temporary impact on operating EBITDA margins over the next few
quarters. These investments are necessary to build future capabilities and are expected to
yield returns over time as cost savings and revenue growth materialize.
o During the current financial year, the Company has incurred
approximately Rs 82.6 crores (PY Rs 29.8 crores) in soft expenses towards the execution of
its long-term growth strategy. Capital expenditure was of the order of Rs 87 Crores.
• Exceptional Items of expenses
o During the year your Company had incurred exceptional expenses of Rs
26.9 Crores (PY Rs 32.3 Crores) as detailed below
- Expenditure towards Voluntary Retirement Scheme Rs 9.98 Crores
- Incremental impact in provision of Gratuity and Compensated Absences
liability arising from the change in the definition of wages under the New Labour Code -
Rs 16.9 Crores
- In the previous year FY 24-25 your company had incurred exceptional
expenses of Rs 32.3 Crores towards provision for impairment of our investment in Horwood
Homewares Ltd, UK considering the continued geo-political tensions, uncertain timelines on
the recovery of the UK and European economy
• Your Company delivered Operating EBITDA (before long-term
strategic investments and exceptional items) of Rs 386 crores (PY Rs 300 Crores); growth
of 28.5% and Profit before tax (before long-term strategic investments and exceptional
items) at Rs 360 Crores (PY Rs 294 Crores); growth of 22.5%. Operating EBITDA
margin (before long-term strategic investments and exceptional items)
was at a healthy level of 13.9% (PY 11.9%).
• The depreciation charge was higher at Rs 74.4 crores (PY Rs 64.4
Crores) due to investment in fixed assets.
• The Net profit after tax was at Rs 185.5 Crores (PY Rs 162.7
Crores); growth of 14.0%.
• The standalone EPS (face value of Rs 1/-) was at Rs 13.54 (PY Rs
11.81)
• As communicated in prior years, your Company does not pursue a
standalone margin-led strategy; instead, it remains focused on driving sustainable growth
while delivering fair long-term returns on capital employed. Consistent with this
approach, the operating Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) continued at 29.3% during the
year, (PY 29.3%), reflecting the impact of an expanded asset base as the Company continues
to invest in its long-term growth strategy.
• The Company is debt-free and carried a comfortable free cash of
over Rs 877 Crores (including short term Liquid investments) as on March 31, 2026.
• The consolidated turnover and profit before tax (before
long-term strategic investments and exceptional items) of the Company and its subsidiaries
amounted to Rs 2974 Crores (PY Rs 2715 Crores); growth of 9.5% and Rs 330 Crores (PY Rs
276 Crores); growth of 19.6% respectively.
• Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment during the year,
the Company maintained stable operational performance. None of the key financial ratios
— including inventory turnover, receivable turnover, net current asset turnover,
margins, and return on net worth — experienced a variance of 25% or more compared to
the previous year, reflecting the resilience of the underlying business model and
effective operational management.
• During the year under report your Company introduced around 162
new SKUs covering Pressure Cookers, Cookware, Gas Stoves, Induction Cook tops, Mixer
Grinders, Rice Cookers, and other Small Domestic Appliances.
• Prestige Xclusive network was consolidated and rationalized
where necessary and new outlets were also added during the year. The number of outlets as
at Mar 31, 2026 was at 711 (PY 667). The network now covers 324 Towns. The spread of the
network is also evenly distributed between Metros, Mini-Metros, Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3
cities.
• Service network as of Mar 31, 2026 stands at 568 centres (PY -
487 centres).
The Board of Directors considers the Company's performance during the
year as excellent, particularly in the context of persistently challenging macroeconomic
conditions and evolving geopolitical developments. Notwithstanding these external
headwinds, the Company has sustained its leadership position, maintaining a dominant
market share in both value and volume terms across its key product categories. Your
directors are happy to recommend a dividend of Rs 7.50 per share of face value Rs 1/- each
for FY 2025-26 (PY: Rs 6.00 per share of face value Rs 1/- each).

D. SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES & CONSOLIDATED RESULTS:
a) Horwood Homewares Ltd, United Kingdom
• The operating subsidiary, Horwood Homewares Limited (Horwood),
reported sales of ?14.0 million during the year, compared to ?14.2 million in the
previous year. The modest decline in revenue was primarily attributable to the slowdown in
the UK economy and recessionary trends across the UK, Europe, and the USA — the key
markets in which Horwood operates — driven in part by prolonged geopolitical
uncertainties.
• The operating EBITDA for the year stood at ?(0.9) million, as
against ?0.3 million in the previous year. The decline in EBITDA was largely due to lower
sales volumes and elevated cost pressures arising from inflation, notwithstanding an
improvement in gross margins by approximately 3% year- on-year.
• Your Company remains confident that, with a recovery in economic
conditions across the UK, Europe, and the USA, Horwood is well- positioned to achieve
improved sales growth and enhanced profitability going forward.
b) Ultrafresh Modular Solutions Limited, India Ultrafresh Modular
Solutions Limited (Ultrafresh) reported a turnover of Rs 36.3 crores during the year, as
compared to Rs 32.5 crores in the previous year, registering a growth of 11.8%. The
Company reported an EBITDA of Rs (7.6) crores, as against Rs (9.3) crores in the previous
year.
• The higher losses during the period are primarily attributable
to strategic investments in people and systems aimed at supporting long-term growth.
Ultrafresh is, however, actively implementing cost optimization initiatives and remains
focused on improving EBITDA margins over the coming quarters.
• Being a 51% Subsidiary Company their financials are consolidated
appropriately in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The consolidated financials are attached to this Annual Report
separately.
E. OUTLOOK & OPPORTUNITIES:
• The Indian economy is expected to continue as a high-growth
engine, supported by resilient domestic demand, sustained infrastructure investments, and
the rapid expansion of the digital ecosystem. While global uncertainties and regulatory
complexities persist, India's structural strengths position it well for continued growth.
Continued focus on infrastructure, innovation, and financial inclusion will help India
navigate challenges and strengthen its global economic role.
• India is likely to remain one of the fastest-growing major
economies globally, with GDP growth expected to remain in the range of 6-6.5% over the
medium term, underpinned by strong macroeconomic fundamentals.
• Domestic consumption and infrastructure investments are expected
to remain key drivers of economic expansion, supported by government initiatives and
improving rural and urban demand.
• Evolving global trade dynamics and geopolitical developments
will continue to influence India's economic trajectory. India's strong trade relationship
with key partners, including the United States, is expected to play a significant role,
although shifting global trade patterns may create both opportunities and challenges.
• Fiscal measures, including tax incentives and
consumption-oriented policies, are expected to support consumer spending. However,
uncertainty around global trade policies and tariff structures, particularly in key export
markets, may temper some of these benefits.
• The outlook for the consumer durables industry in India remains
positive, with continued growth expected, driven by rising disposable incomes,
premiumization trends, and increasing adoption of technology-enabled products.
• The continued expansion of e-commerce and omnichannel
distribution will further enhance accessibility and convenience for consumers,
particularly in the kitchen appliances segment.
• The ongoing global shift towards diversified sourcing and the
increasing preference for India as an alternative manufacturing hub, especially in the
context of geopolitical realignments and trade restrictions, are expected to create export
opportunities. Your Company continues to collaborate closely with its export customers to
expand product offerings and increase sourcing volumes, subject to stability in global
market conditions.
• Your Company remains focused on driving operational efficiencies
and cost optimization, enabling it to sustain healthy profitability even in scenarios
where growth may be impacted by external factors such as channel disruptions, geopolitical
uncertainties, or climatic variations.
• Backed by its strong brand equity, extensive distribution
network, and exclusive retail presence, your Company is well-positioned to effectively
reach and serve end consumers across markets.
• Your Company continues to maintain a debt- free balance sheet,
with robust manufacturing and sourcing capabilities, adequate capacities, and a strong
human capital base, providing the flexibility to scale up operations swiftly in response
to market demand.
• Under the above circumstance your Company is confident that it
will maintain the growth paths in the coming year with stable operating margins if
projected GDP growth of 6.2% is achieved.
F. MEDIUM & LONG-TERM STRATEGY:
• To leverage the growth opportunities arising from the Indian
economy, your Company has developed a comprehensive blueprint to accelerate growth over
the next 3-5 years, with a strong focus on design, innovation, go-to-market strategy,
operational excellence, and cost optimization. As outlined earlier, the Company will
undertake appropriate investments—both strategic (soft) and capital (hard) over the
next couple of years and will continue to engage with external experts and consultants to
support this transformation journey.
• Your Company remains committed to strengthening its leadership
position in the kitchen domain by expanding its product portfolio and driving growth
through innovation, brand building, manufacturing excellence, distribution reach, sourcing
efficiencies, enhanced service capabilities, and deeper customer engagement. Focus will
continue on reinforcing these core capabilities to sustain competitive advantage.
• The Company has brought together a leadership team with a strong
blend of experience and diverse skill sets. In addition, long-term incentive plans have
been implemented to attract, retain, and motivate talent, aligning employee interests with
the Company's long-term objectives. Your Company has already commissioned a state of the
art Innovation Centre at Bengaluru and another being fully upgraded in Hosur. Fresh thrust
has been made to upgrade all the product folios with significant deployment of resources
in design lead innovation to win consumers for life-time. The fruits of these efforts are
expected to flow in during the next two years.
• Over the medium to long term, the Company aims to achieve growth
rates exceeding overall GDP growth, while maintaining healthy operating EBITDA margins and
strong Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), before accounting for one-time investments
related to strategic initiatives. This outlook remains subject to external factors beyond
the Company's control, including macroeconomic, geopolitical, and market conditions.
G. THREATS
The Indian kitchenware industry continues to remain highly fragmented,
with a significant presence of unorganized and regional players alongside established
organized brands and emerging entrants. The unorganized segment, with its lower-cost
offerings, continues to exert pricing pressure, particularly in rural and semi-urban
markets, thereby impacting the ability of organized players to expand market share and
sustain premium positioning.
The operating environment is expected to remain dynamic, influenced by
evolving macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical developments, including the ongoing
West Asia crisis and shifting global trade dynamics. These factors, coupled with
inflationary trends, currency volatility, and fluctuations in raw material and energy
costs, could result in increased input costs and supply chain uncertainties. Any
escalation in geopolitical tensions or changes in tariff structures may further impact
sourcing costs and logistics.
In a competitive market characterized by high price sensitivity, the
ability to fully pass on cost increases to customers may remain constrained, which could
have an adverse impact on margins. Additionally, the industry is witnessing increasing
competition from both organized players and new-age brands, making continuous product
innovation, premiumization, and differentiation critical for sustaining growth and market
relevance. Any delay in launching new products or adapting to changing consumer
preferences may affect the Company's performance.
The Company continues to adopt a prudent and agile approach to cost
management, including optimization of sourcing strategies, improved operational
efficiencies, and calibrated pricing actions. It also remains focused on strengthening its
product portfolio through innovation and brand investments. These measures are aimed at
mitigating external risks and maintaining stable EBITDA margins over the medium term,
consistent with its demonstrated performance in recent years.
H. RISKS AND CONCERNS
The various macroeconomic risks and uncertainties that could impact the
Company have been discussed in the preceding sections and are primarily attributable to
external factors beyond the Company's control.
I. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company has constituted a Risk Management Committee in accordance
with the requirements of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, the details of which are provided in
the Report on Corporate Governance.
The Company has in place a Risk Management Policy for identification,
assessment, and mitigation of risks, including those which, in the opinion of the Board,
may threaten the existence of the Company. The detailed policy is available on the
Company's website www.ttkprestige.com
The Company maintains a structured risk management framework
commensurate with its size and nature of operations. The framework encompasses
identification and mitigation of key internal and external risks, including those relating
to business strategy, operations, business continuity, regulatory compliance, financial
reporting, information technology systems, cybersecurity, and internal controls.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations are also
integrated into the risk management process in line with regulatory requirements.
The Company continues to engage independent professional firms to
strengthen its risk management practices and undertake periodic risk audits. The overall
risk framework is reviewed periodically by the Board to ensure its effectiveness and
alignment with the Company's evolving risk profile.
J. CYBER SECURITY:
The Company maintained a robust information security and cyber risk
management framework during the year, with no material cybersecurity incidents reported.
Attempted intrusion events were identified through continuous monitoring mechanisms and
were effectively contained through established incident response protocols.
In light of the evolving threat landscape, driven by increasing digital
adoption and advancements in technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Company
recognizes the heightened risk exposure and expanding attack surface. Accordingly, the
Company continues to strengthen its cybersecurity posture through the adoption of
industry-recognized standards, implementation of layered security controls, and
enhancement of detection and response capabilities, including real-time monitoring and
threat intelligence.
The Company's information security framework encompasses policies and
procedures covering access management, data protection, network security, vulnerability
management, and business continuity. Periodic assessments, including vulnerability
assessments and risk-based reviews, are undertaken to ensure the effectiveness of
controls.
Further, the Company conducts regular cybersecurity awareness and
training programs for employees to improve preparedness against phishing, malware, and
other social engineering threats, thereby reinforcing the human layer of defence.
The Company remains committed to continuously enhancing its cyber
resilience and governance framework to mitigate emerging risks and safeguard critical
information assets in line with evolving regulatory and industry expectations.
