Well established jewelry brand in North India
PC Jeweller (PCJL) is one of the leading organized jewelry retailers, with a strong
brand presence in North and Central India. PCJL operations include design,
manufacturing, retailing and export of jewelry. It has 49 showrooms in 39 cities
and 16 states, with an operational space of ~292,800sqft as of Dec'14. We expect
the penetration of organized and branded jewelry to increase going forward,
driven by rising disposable incomes, increasing awareness of quality/hallmarking
and favorable demographics. The government has recently designated PCJL as a
nominated agency for direct import of precious metals to be used for domestic
business.
Steadily expands retail footprint pan India
PCJL has expanded its retail footprint steadily with an operational space of
~292,800sqft (~4.5x over FY10-Dec'14) as of December 2014. It plans to add 20
showrooms annually over the next three years in the ratio of 20:40:40 in metros,
tier I and tier II cities. We expect PCJL to widen its presence geographically and
capitalize on the growing salience of branded jewelry in India.

Increasing salience of domestic business
PCJL exports gold jewelry on a wholesale basis to international distributors.
However, given the low margins and higher working capital requirement, it is
prioritizing resources and management bandwidth towards the domestic retail
segment. Salience of exports business has fallen from 34.4% in FY11 to 25% in
FY14. We expect the revenue mix to further tilt towards domestic business as it
opens 12,14 and 14 new stores over FY15, FY16 and FY17 respectively.

26.4% in FY14. Diamond jewelry enjoys gross margin of 35%, compared to the
