What to watch
- Sequential EBITDA margin movement from the 0.3% Q1 level.
- Scrap-gold procurement spreads, domestic gold availability and import-duty or regulatory changes.
- Export shipment volumes, logistics conditions and order cancellation or delay trends.
- Gold-price volatility, hedge gains or losses, and inventory days.
- Operating cash flow, borrowing growth and interest-cost trend relative to revenue growth.
- Mix of refining, wholesale bullion, export and higher-value product revenue.
- Prioritize direct and contracted gold-sourcing channels to reduce dependence on costly scrap purchases.
- Tighten hedging, inventory-turn and counterparty-risk controls as higher bullion prices increase working-capital exposure.
- Rebalance toward higher-margin refining, branded, digital-gold or value-added products rather than low-spread turnover growth.
- Seek alternate export routes, customers or settlement structures to mitigate disruption in export-linked volumes.
- Communicate a margin-recovery roadmap, including sourcing-cost targets and expected normalization timing, to prevent revenue growth being viewed as low-quality.
