Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri Limited (“TBZ” or “TBZ – The Original”), India’s well-known and trusted jewellery retailer with a rich legacy of around 150 years, posted 27.67% percent growth in its net profit for the first quarter ended June 30, 2013, amounting to Rs. 20.77 crore compared to Rs. 16.26 crore posted in the same period of the last financial year. Despite slowing macroeconomic environment and increase in import duties for gold, TBZ’s total Income (standalone) rose by 88.81% to Rs. 535.26 crore during the challenging Q1FY14 compared to Rs. 283.49 crore posted in the first quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 The EBITDA for first quarter of the current fiscal stood at Rs. 40.18 crore compared to Rs. 28.68 crore for the first quarter of FY13. The EBITDA margin for Q1 FY 2014 was 7.51% of total income even though the industry faced several challenges in the first quarter. The Earning Per Share (not annualized) was Rs. 3.12 (Basic) and Rs. 3.11 (Diluted) as compared to Rs. 2.44 (not annualized) for Q1 FY13.

 Commenting on the financial performance of the Company in the reporting quarter, Mr. Shrikant Zaveri, Chairman and Managing Director, Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri Ltd., said, “Despite subdued economic conditions in India as well as rising import costs, TBZ has performed well in the first quarter of the current fiscal on account of a fall in gold prices in April, a good wedding season during the first quarter and astute marketing initiatives therein. The Company continues to stimulate consumer demand through innovative strategies to counter the general economic slowdown as well as the impact of recent regulatory measures introduced in the financing of gold imports.”

The Company organized a first-of-their-kind summer camps on “Jewellery Education for Women” in all its 26 stores across India. During the quarter, TBZ Ltd. added a new store to its network extending the 26th TBZ-The Original exclusive showroom at Gandhidham connecting to jewellery buyers from Saurashtra to Kutch region in Gujarat state.
