Earnings Call Transcript

Sheela Foam Limited posted a consolidated revenue of INR1,045 crores for Q2 FY27, the first quarter crossing INR1,000 crores, despite unprecedented increases in key raw material costs. The company maintained profitability through strong brand equity and consumer initiatives. From October 1, 2026, Furlenco, a furniture rental firm with accelerating growth and profitability, became a Sheela Foam subsidiary, adding a new dimension to the group’s portfolio.

The period witnessed sharp increases in crude-linked raw materials with polyol prices rising approximately 65% and TDI prices increasing 33% since mid-February, significantly impacting input costs.

Sheela Foam responded by leveraging decades-long supplier relationships to ensure uninterrupted raw material supply, whereas smaller competitors struggled to maintain supplies or prices.

Although the festive season shifted demand from Q2 to Q3, the company launched the 'Great Sleepwell Festival' campaign nationwide, boosting consumer engagement despite pressuring near-term profitability.

Sheela Foam reported consolidated EBITDA of INR87 crores for Q2, comparable to the prior year quarter, and a PAT of INR46 crores, representing a fivefold increase over last year’s corresponding period.

For the first half of FY27, consolidated revenue grew 22% to INR2,077 crores, with operating EBITDA rising 23% to INR200 crores and PAT surging over six times to INR109 crores, maintaining margins amid higher marketing spend to sustain customer demand and brand strength.
