Guidance & outlook
- The 60,000 CBM per annum greenfield plywood plant at Hoshiarpur is expected to commence operations in Q3 FY27, while the Chennai brownf ield expansion has increased capacity from 8,000 CBM per month in Q1 to 10,000 CBM per month in Q2, which will further increase to 12,500 CBM per month from Q3 FY27.
- So, you will see a steady increase in particle board, and I think towards next year, we will see maybe close to 15% particle board margins.
Growth & demand
- We delivered our highest -ever quarterly consolidated revenue of INR1,561 crores, representing a robust 33.5% year -on-year growth.
- Revenue grew 14.7% year-on-year, while EBITDA margins remained healthy at 10.2%, reflecting improved product mix, better capacity utilization, and operational efficiencies.
Margins & costs
- Our EBITDA margin excluding forest losses improved to 13.0%, while profit after tax increased by 57% year-on-year to INR83.3 crores.
- Further, to mitigate the impact of higher chemical input costs arising from geopolitical developments, the company implemented about 7% price increase in April in the plywood business, largely passing on the increase in raw material costs.
Capex & expansion
- The company continues to strengthen its plywood business through both capacity expansion and brand-building initiatives.
- Revenue increased by 29% sequentially and 155.7% year -on-year, reflecting higher capacity utilization and growing acceptance of our products across furniture manufacturers and OEM customers.
Balance sheet & cash
- I know it looks like the debt is going up, but that is because when you're growing at 33% in an industry which has 60 days debt working capital, that does take an impact.
- So, you should see the balance sheet strengthening, but when you are growing at 30% plus, at that point in time, working capital requirements will be there, which is why, you have seen a slight increase in the working capital quantum.
