RSWM Limited Q2 & H1 FY26 Concall Decoded โ€“ Tariffs, Textiles, and Tactical Turnarounds ๐Ÿงต


1. Opening Hook

Just when global textile players were blaming cotton, climate, and customers for shrinking profits, RSWM pulled off a quiet comeback. Despite U.S. tariffs, cotton chaos, and discount-hungry buyers, the Bhilwara-based textile veteran turned its P&L from red to black โ€” and did it without spinning excuses.

The management sounded like yoga instructors: calm, strategic, and laser-focused on โ€œRSWM 2.0.โ€ From renewable power to printed knits, theyโ€™re stitching resilience into every fibre. The punchline? They call it a turnaround โ€” we call it revenge of the yarn. Read on; it gets softer but sharper.


2. At a Glance

  • Revenue โ‚น1,150 Cr (โ€“1.4% YoY): Sales slipped, but not their composure.
  • EBITDA โ‚น79 Cr (+86% YoY): Margins warmed up while cotton cooled off.
  • PAT โ‚น6.3 Cr vs Loss โ‚น21 Cr: The โ€œfrom loss to clothโ€ story of the quarter.
  • Gross Margin 38.4% (+195 bps): Cotton cheaper, CFO happier.
  • Finance Cost โ‚น30.6 Cr (โ€“11% YoY): Even debt felt lighter this season.
  • Inventory down โ‚น121 Cr: Finally, warehouses arenโ€™t fashion museums.
  • Renewable Power 70% of total: Green energy, but in RSWMโ€™s case, also green savings โ€” โ‚น30โ€“40 Cr a year.
