Faucet ware:
β’ 339 cr is the revenue contribution which is also all time high, and adding 50cr more sales is not difficult.

Customer Touch point spend:
β’ Spend is majorly in Southern region (Bangalore, AP, Karntaka), where company is owning its own touchpoint where customer footfall is higher.
β’ Real-Estate is never owned only interiror and products are spend for capex.
Decline in margin:
β’ COGS increase in Faucet ware due to increase in price of RM (brass). Co. didn't increase the price in Q1, as they had inventory and price has been increased this quarter.
β’ Brass is the large factor.

β’ Cera gives 10 year warranty in Faucet ware which is working well. 60-65% share is organized.

β’ In Metro cities many of players already exists and MNC are entering in Metro cities only, hence competitive intensity is high over there.
β’ Cera is now focusing more in Tier 2 t& Tier 3 city.

β’ Co. has tied up with Italian co. where Cera neither has to produce nor operate the business.
β’ Cera takes upfront revenue from customer and then order is send to co. Hence cash flow+ segment.
