We have maintained a strong full-price sales of 95.4%, highlighting both the strength of our pricing strategy and the continued acceptance of our products in the market. Our disciplined inventory management has resulted in a maintaining our inventory days at 102 days. We believe there is room to optimize this further by a few more days, which will contribute to a stronger balance sheet and support long-term, sustainable growth. We have successfully converted over 50% of EBITDA into operating cash flow. Looking ahead, we intend to sustain this as a core financial discipline, supported by robust inventory management. In FY25, we added a net total of 62 new stores, bringing our total store count to 776. Some store openings originally scheduled for Q4 FY25 were delayed due to store readiness issues and have opened in Q1 FY26.

With these closures done, we aspire to do a net addition of ~120 stores annually. Go Fashion (India) is a womens bottom-wear brand in India.
