Management Comments

Commenting on the Q2FY24 & H1FY24 Performance, Management added,

“We are thrilled to announce outstanding financial performance for Q2FY24 & H1FY24. Our Revenue from Operations experienced considerable growth, increasing by 15% from Rs. 36.53 Cr in Q2FY23 to Rs. 42.01 Cr in Q2FY24. This growth can be primarily attributed to the steady increase in global demand for our products, with a particular focus on ODB2, showcasing the strength and appeal of our offerings in international markets.

In addition to our revenue growth, our EBITDA witnessed an impressive surge, rising by a remarkable 173.36% from Rs. 4.58 Cr in Q2FY23 to Rs. 12.52 Cr in Q2FY24. This increase can be attributed to softening of certain raw material prices. These cost reductions have positively impacted our EBITDA, reinforcing our operational efficiency. Our efforts in improving our operational efficiency are further highlighted by the significant improvement in EBITDA margins, which expanded from 12.42% in Q2FY23 to 29.81% in Q2FY24, an impressive gain of 1739 basis points.

For Q2FY24, export sales contributed to 25.92% of our total revenues. Dumping of goods due to high Chinese inventories have kept the sales growth minimal in H1, as we see Chinese inventories reduce, we expect that with the steady increase in global demand and with our new capacities coming online, H2FY24 will have larger revenues than H1FY24. This is particularly true for exports, but we see local markets demand growing as well.

As a background, we see that the war in Europe caused higher speculative prices for the last year and a half for commodities, additionally, lower exports from the Chinese caused them to dump inventories for the last six months. In the last two months we have seen raw material/commodity prices reduce and move towards steady prices. Chinese stocks are also expected to reduce to minimal levels in the coming months, with them having to manufacture fresh product leading to end prices going up. These factors align well with our increased capacities coming online such that we can enjoy the benefits of steadily increasing prices over H2 as sales increase.

We express our gratitude to our dedicated employees, loyal customers, and supportive stakeholders for their unwavering trust and contribution to our success. Looking ahead, we remain committed to delivering on our promises, driving innovation, and creating long-term value for our shareholders and the community we serve.”
