Mumbai, Feb 12: The improvement in EBIDTA from Q3, FY24 is backed by higher specialty sales, enhanced volume and better BOPP and BOPET film margins. The Company has reached speciality sales of 73% of total volume in Q3, FY25 and 71% in Dec 2024 YTD basis as against 64% in FY24.
BOPET vertical (about 15% of Company’s sales for Q3, FY25) has also witnessed better margins and posted EBITDA in mid-teens during Q3, FY25.
The Net Revenue and margins are lower in Q3’FY25 from Q2’FY25 due to temporary break- down in one of the lines causing volume loss of 5%. BOPP Film margin has also witnessed pressure for few weeks in Q3, FY25 with some capacity commissioning in domestic industry though recovered due to strong demand. The BOPP base film margins are expected to remain subdued in FY26 due to expected capacity addition in the domestic industry. Q2’FY25 also had one time income of 9 crores due to property sales and tax incentives.
The Specialty Chemical subsidiary is advancing well to achieve high teens EBITDA and 30%+ ROCE in FY25.
Ms. Yamini Kumar (Jaipuria) has been appointed as Whole time Director (Corporate Strategy, ESG & CSR) for a period of 5 years. The appointment will take effect from the date of allotment of DIN by Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
