TTK Prestige eyes double-digit growth in second half of FY24

Bengaluru-based TTK Prestige expects double digit revenue growth in the second half of the current financial year, Chairman, TT Jagannathan told CNBC-TV18. He expects margins at around 14-16%.

Jagannathan said the kitchen appliances major is actively exploring acquisition opportunities, with ticket size ranging between ₹500 crore and ₹1,000 crore and companies with revenues of at least ₹1,000 crore. TTK has cash on books of around ₹1,000 crore to meet most of the funding requirement, he said.

He highlighted that TTK Prestige is currently operating at nearly 80% of its production capacity and is actively investing in automation to enhance operational efficiency.

Jagannathan said TTK is in the process of launching premium brands, a strategic move to cater to diverse consumer segments and further strengthen its market presence.

The company projects exports growing five times the first half numbers to hit ₹100 crore during the fiscal year 2024.

TTK second quarter performance was muted with over 15% decline in sales to ₹683.7 crore and an over 27% decrease in net profit to ₹62.2 crore.

The company said its gross margin was lower than the immediate last quarter due to unfavourable product mix, higher sales promotions, and liquidation of high-cost inventory.
