While the sewing machines business revenue registered a growth of 6 % in Q3 FY22 over the prior year, the home appliances business revenue remained lower due to the delayed Winter Season and not very impressive festival demand this year. Further the scare of Omicron virus also led to postponement of buying in both the product segments.

Higher Commodity prices continued to keep margins under pressure especially in the home appliances. Though the Company has taken suitable price increase in mid of November 2021 to offset the cost increases, the company expects these pressures to continue for some more time.

The company however continued to improve its working capital cycle by constant monitoring of its inventories and receivables. Inventory overall came down despite the stuck inventory of winter related items which would remain for some time until the beginning of next season.

Rajeev Bajaj, Managing Director, Singer India commented that, “In this year quarter though the Company’s revenue remained at the prior year levels, profitability was impacted due to increase in commodity prices keeping margins under pressure and the resumption of necessary expenses including the Advertising and promotion which were kept lower in the prior year due to Covid uncertainty.”

“The immediate focus is to increase the turnover levels and improve the profitability amongst the tight competition that exists. Our strategies to grow our both businesses are intact and are being implemented vigorously. We remain thankful to all employees and all other associates who stood with us during this difficult period.”
