Risks

• The slowdown in the Hyderabad region, which is a major market for Electronics Mart India Limited (EMIL), could impact revenue growth if it persists.
  
• EBITDA margin has decreased, indicating challenges in maintaining profitability as costs or pricing pressures may be impacting net margins.
  
• Rising inventory levels and working capital days may lead to inefficiencies and increased financing costs, affecting cash flow and overall earnings.
  
• The high reliance on mobile and phone sales, which generally have lower margins, might limit the improvement in overall profit margins despite increased revenue.
  
• Uncertain demand recovery in large appliances, which contributed significantly to revenue, presents a risk to achieving consistent growth and margin enhancement.
